I think Miami could still be incredible if they wanted to. They really tightened the academic restrictions in the early 2000s-- maybe that's why they haven't even played for an ACC title since joining the conference in 2004


This is an honest question. Have you been to the average game at Sunlife Stadium?

I stood next to a UGA alum (we both went there for law school) and we stood in awe when they were down 3 TDs to FSU at the half and students didn't even care

I mean if they really wanted to? Yes if they would pump money in to making a new stadium and new facilities then yea they could be good again, but it will take a hell of a lot more than want

Games at the Orange Bowl were pretty fun and fairly easy transportation for an off-campus stadium. I went back for one Miami-Florida State game at Sun Life, and it was a terrible location and atmosphere. I'm glad I never had to travel there on gameday as a student. I would have watched Gameday in my dorm over going way out there to watch them play some turd team at noon.

There is weak fan support. There were tons of students like me from out-of-state. Most of my friends are scattered back around the country and just mildly annoyed when Miami loses. They've been losing for a decade. My friends who had that childhood connection growing up with the program are still passionate about it (and two work in the athletic department), but that isn't a huge part of the alumni base.
