Baylor is a better school than Miami in everything. Better at every sport, better academically. A degree from Baylor is worth a lot more than a degree from Miami.
The only thing Miami has over Baylor is the history of the football brand…and that’s thanks to guys like Howard, Jimmy, Butch, Sam Jancovich, and a BoT who are all retired or dead.
Current UM admin are doing everything they can to ruin the only thing about Miami that makes it worth a **** - the football brand.
If I had to pick a university that’s most like UM nationally in every aspect, maybe SMU is the best fit. Although SMU has a stadium, and we don’t. And SMU is respected a bit more academically.
Maybe Fordham or Loyola.
