Do you really believe they could raise their academic profile by putting less value on their football programs.
Bama and LSU have never been and will never be Ivy League of the south type institutions for obvious reasons.

Yup...how often do you see MLB closers in the game when up 6 runs? If he gave up a few runs I'm sure Veliz would have been brought in. This is how you get young guys experience.

Of course, most of us see that - but our vocal whiners!! WAAAH

 

[txcanes]

So what? Act like grown ups and watch the baseball game. Stuff like this is what makes our fan base so trashy.

LOL coming from Hockey man!!

I still couldn’t believe that guy who hit that bomb was hitting a whopping .083, the guy next to me asked me if we were reading that right. You could tell our pitcher was still mad about his fielding behind him before that shot. The bats are alive for us which is nice but man the team looks lost at times in the field. Seeing it live was an eye opener on how confused some of them are playing in the field. The look in their eyes and demeanor is troublesome.

Semper Canes!!!

They said on TV he was 3-47 with 0 hr’s for the year before that moon shot.

Gotta love the dumbasses in our "Fanbase". Then again, when your only tie to the University is athletics , you couldn't care less about the things that truly matter. Dr. Shalala did right by me and the thousands of alumni that attended the school during her tenure. She raised billions for the school and helped make my degree more valuable. She stood up for the school when it really mattered.

Yeah she was just great - before you you call someone a dumbass - learn perspective. Not just Athletics chump.

She Let UM Get Taken by Nevin Shapiro
Under Shalala's watch, one of Miami's biggest-ever Ponzi schemers got so close to the football team that his name was stenciled onto a plaque in a student lounge and tens of thousands of his checks were cashed into the school's accounts. Shalala hardly kept her own distance — check the famed photo above where she gleefully takes a check from Shapiro at a bowling alley while soon-to-be-disgraced basketball coach Frank Haith (and poor Sebastian the Ibis) look on.
The school later had to repay $83,000 after Shapiro's $930 million scheme blew up, costing the football program years in self-assessed recruiting penalties. But Shalala shamefully never took any of the responsibility for the fiasco (though there were plenty of signs that Shapiro was far from a reputable character even before his scheme exploded).
It was far from her only scandal at the school, though:
Union Busting and Sexual Harassment
Shalala was president when the school's hilariously underpaid janitorial staff went on hunger strike, protesting union-busting moves by their contractor, who refused to recognize a simple majority who wanted to join a union and push for higher wages and benefits. Shalala sided with the contractor, who eventually forced the janitors to accept rules requiring well above that simple majority to push for unionization, ignoring personal pleas from the hunger strikers and civil rights leaders.
As president, Shalala was hauling in $913,000 annually — roughly 37 times the wages of those striking janitors, Slate reported at the time.
That wasn't her only nationally televised pushback as president. Critics also pounced over her handling of a sexual harassment complaint against Colin McGinn, a prominent professor. Shalala defended her actions, including pushing McGinn out of his tenured job — telling New Times that "no good deed goes unpunished" — but the lawyer who represented the victim complained that Shalala had essentially quietly shuffled out an abuser.
Here's what attorney Ann Olivarius told New Times in 2015:

“For centuries, the standard way Catholic bishops handled child sexual abuse by priests was to move them quietly to a new job and keep mum,” she says. “Donna Shalala doesn’t quite look like a Catholic bishop, but I am astounded how much she seems to have borrowed from their playbook in steering the University of Miami after one of its graduate students.”

A win is a win... FIELD THE GOT **** BALL AND MAKE THE ***N THROW........... ****

No ****...imagine this squad with a cleaned up defense?! Even with pitching injuries.

Very hard to watch at times knowing the bats simply can't go quiet for too long.

Thank you. As an alum, I can appreciate fund raising for the University like anyone else, but her contributions are largely misrepresented to exclude numerous issues with how it was attained and issues you have raised. No reason to get political at all, which quite honestly is an issue with me, but it is FAR from just a football team / AD issue with her.....though that was bad enough. I'm not even going to throw the OB on her *** well, or at least just compensation from the City for breach of lease, though I'm pretty sure that would fit just fine.

So, you expect Dr. Shalala to know something the SEC didn't put together for years? Yep, makes a ton of sense. Shapiro by all intents and purposes appeared to be legit. You morons would have thrown a fit had she stiff armed him and his money was good. If being unlikable meant that your donation wasn't acceptable, we'd lose most of our major donors.

Feel free to provide us all of the evidence you have gathered reflecting the employment/financial background checks she initiated on Shapiro before accepting funds on behalf of the University from a non-alum who routinely was implicated in alleged NCAA infractions.

The main point? It occurred under her watch and not a single person has demonstrated that proper due diligence was taken by a University employee with arguably one of the most extensive duties of loyalty owed to the U. Maybe it happened, but I sure haven't seen it. By the way, the SEC could give a **** about whether she exercised care in screening donations for the U....they just stand ready to pounce if you **** that up.

You realize no one cares what you say right? So proceed to keep typing, and I will proceed to keep ignoring.

Nothing says “I’m ignoring you” any better than “Here’s my response to your post”.

pretty weak sauce., but accurate....you might want to grammar check my twitter feed as well, I guarantee there is some unacceptable short hand grammar errors there as well.
