We see this type of “wave of the hand” nod toward money by our posters way too much. My lad, money doesn’t grow on trees.. you actually have to have it, or raise it, or have a prospect of making it so you can borrow for it.

Miami doesn’t draw significant attendance. it is a smaller private school, smaller number of alums, many who don’t much care about football because the students don’t. All schools have to live in a monetary budget, despite what many young’uns on this board believe.

In the ‘80s Miami rose up with a series of good coaches, great recruiting, sexy geography, and cheating…before the rest of the world upgraded beyond Miami’s means. And then many started recruiting S.FL (thank you Nick Saban)… At the same time they deservedly went on probation. Even South Beach is no longer a big draw.

It will be a “process” for Miami to return to class A football. But that is true for a lot of schools, especially private ones.
