Miami is a shite hole. Getting to any decent beach from campus takes 45 minutes
Stop the lies
And no one gives a shite about going to the beach, otherwise UCLA would be a juggernaught as they're 20 minutes from the Beach.
If the Beach was so important, Pepperdine would be a sports juggernaught.
ETA: Nevermind, I guess they are.
Pepperdine University was recently ranked by the Sears Cup as having the most successful athletic program for non-football Division I schools.
I guess the beach does sell, at least in Malibu.

This is a good comparison to Miami, IMO. They are roughly the same size in student population and endowment. Located in talent-rich state, but play 3rd or 4th fiddle to big, public institutions. And as you noted, have fallen off in some regard.

bullshite. Miami still gets P5 money. It's not like they're Tulane or SMU.
Sure, they get the conference money but their donor pool is significantly smaller.
Would they be stuck playing in a rented pro stadium with no chance of a campus stadium if they had 25-30k undergrads on campus? I doubt it.

If they're losing their fire, it'll be funny to watch them play a late December bowl game in NYC against us again

I don't claim to know all about that, but I think the FC stadium would probably have been REALLY small. It's only 25k seats for soccer games. I think the U wants somewhere in the 50k range
The Orange Bowl was a crappy stadium by the end, but it was centrally located for everyone to get to.

Oregon will lose Cristobal to Miami soon

Things must be bad because we flipped both of those 4* OL commits and Mullen isn't exactly known as a great recruiter.

They barely make a profit on football though.
Miami Football, 2017-18 (10-3, Orange Bowl)
Profit: $2,339,280 ($35,358,218 in revenue - $33,018,938 in expenses)
Contrast that with UF, and this is coming off of our 4-7 season:
Florida Football, 2017-18 (4-7, no bowl)
Profit: $49,099,589 ($82,791,752 in revenue - $33,692,163 in expenses)

Well you should since they have a smaller enrollment than Miami

There's no room in Coral Gables, or even in Miami proper, for a closer stadium.

Baylor has had decent success, though Baylor has like 4k more undergrads than Miami.

While I will admit I don't know anything about that area, lots of people thought something similar about Tulane.

Not remotely the same constraints, though the comparison isn't a completely unfounded one.

When I was there in 1985 or 86 I was working at the campus sports and rec center and found a box full of brochures with plans for an on-campus stadium, with artist renditions and the works. I can't remember where it was going to be, maybe there was a land acquisition involved, but it was Howard Schnellenbergers baby and once he left I guess the plan died.

Seriously, who wouldn't want to go to Pepperdine.
We used to joke, Pepperdine should get more applications than Harvard and Yale combined.
I mean c'mon man...
The fricking University is like a golf resort, a stone's throw from the Pacific Ocean in Malibu.
(Fun Fact) - USC got offered Pepperdine's location to relocate as Pepperdine was also located in South Central L.A. in the 60's.
USC declined, during the Watts riots, Pepperdine moved to Malibu.

Small is not limited to enrollment. ND’s financial resources are 10x of Miami’s.
ND is a national and internationally branded school. Miami is heavily regional when comparing the two.
