There are a lot of us here! I once read that outside of Florida, the Atlanta metro area is the largest UM alumni base. I have a UM Georgia plate and see other plates / car stickers / etc. pretty much every day and I'm almost an hour north of the city.Probably around half the number that give you the finger
Miami didn't vote to sue FSU. It's in one of the exhibits - the UVA President's declaration. I'll try to find it again if I have time. But he specifically named all the school representatives that were there at the meeting in question and Miami was NOT there.
These folks better get off their assess and start making some noise because other schools are seeing the urgency and we need to find some of that urgency ourselves
An attorney on Canesport commented the other day that he had some contact within the UM administration and his words were "they aren't worried, they will watch to see what happens with the FSU & Clemson law suits, see if they manage to leave and what happens once they do. It might be preferable to be a dominant program in a weak ACC, or, if that doesn't work, then go to the B10 further down the road". That is a scary scenario of "management" at a time of seismic change in conference control and conference membership. Egos too big? Is it Rudy that is running the "realignment evaluation and strategy" activities?
I've said it before on this thread, but I promise you that "staying in the ACC" is not an option. That's not going to happen. We're gonna make the jump as soon as we can. For all their faults, admin has not sat around on this issue specifically.
Presidents NOTIFIED?
From what I have heard, I think we should hope it is Rudy running the realignment show. Dude seems to have a pulse on the current state of the game. Not sure that is the case for others in the administration.
Rudy's a guy who has, pretty quickly, accumulated a lot of power at UM. He is one of the guy's driving this process for us.
Canesport handle is mdhhdm ... first time I had seen it over there. Mine on cane sport is 289fia.
Good, I obviously don't know all the circumstances behind the scenes but the guy doesn't instill confidence at all
Under the assumption that Rad was not going to be a long term answer for AD, is there any scuttlebutt (love that word) on Rudy maneuvering his way to that official role? The moves he seems to be making seem to suggest such a possibility or is it higher aspirations?
There's been whispers about Rudy wanting Frenk's job. Do I think he'd get it? No. But I wouldn't count him out either.
