It's 100% bizarre UM doesn't have a men's golf team. I'm sure it's some Title IX stuff to make the numbers work. But, It's bizarre nonetheless. However, I am surprised UM doesn't have a women's softball team. That's a pretty popular women's collegiate sport, especially around tournament time.

Title IX ended the men’s swim team in the 90s. I was in class when protest fliers went up.

It makes sense from the SEC's perspective to ask for such things. Miami to the B1G is my preference for academics and athletics, but as long as we are not left out for too much longer... That said, I will believe it when I see from the powers that be.

Schools listed in the Top 75 by conference (academically):

B1G: 15
ACC: 14.5 (Notre Dame is a part member)
SEC: 5
Big XII: 0

I say we go to the Big XII to elevate them further.

A significant increase in the number of sports offered among other things that miami just has no reason to commit to..

Its got less to do with $ necessarily and more to do with logistics and facility space. I do think school will offer more sports under a P2 banner but there are certain sports they can offer tomorrow vs others that would require years to prepare for. Just look at how hard it is to upgrade a football building on an existing blueprint and now imagine building a softball field and lockerrooms or space for a gymnastics team to practice and compete etc

This is why we need a athletic visionary at the helm if we really want to be able to compete. These conferences will want us to compete in all the sports that matter to them. The fact that this has already potentially eliminated us from contention in joining the power 2 just doesn't bode well for us. We can't just say we we don't have enough room anymore. A football stadium is one thing that is already being held against us. Add in woman's gymnastics (huge in sec and BIG), softball, etc and we will be fighting an uphill battle.

@No_Fly_Zone

At some point during the season, one of you needs to say, "I'll cut you like a *****!" or "I'll gut you like a pig!"

Hopefully over something nonesensical in a thread discussion.

I'm not a knife guy, but a friend/biz associate gave me these high end Italian L'Artigiano Scarperias that are craftsman works of art.

I feel like I should dress like a 1930s mobster and say threatening **** in Italian.

That would be a violation of the rules and more importantly, not at all nice.

I will [honestly, I will not] cut you [not violently or remotely physically... nobody is actually getting cut anywhere on their body... at most, this is a metaphor] like a ***** [I am not saying you are a *****, or even acknowledging that "*****" is an acceptable word choice in 2025... this is hyperbolic, satirical, and metaphorical of the way some other, imaginary, un-couth person might - not physically - cut you, with words and definitely not knives or other sharp objects].*













* This has been a thought experiment / artistic performance piece posted as a satirical exercise, purely for artistic and entertainment purposes. At no point does its author or CIS advocate physical violence, threats of violence, misogyny, or animal abuse. If any of these words hurt you, we apologize**.














** No part of this apology shall be construed as an admission of liability, which is denied. Nor should our apology be construed as an apology for anything said/done by the author. It's more a "we're sorry you can't take a joke" sort of apology.

Can we still kill gators? I mean, along with Armadillos, Coyotes and hogs, the satisfaction of offing these vermin between hunting seasons is quite fulfilling.

*For satirical purposes only. This is not an admission of shooting any animal without a proper permit, nor is such an act advocated by the author.

OMG! Get out of my head. I'm working on the exact same response, but through interpretive dance. @Empirical Cane is showing me some of his moves. I really hard a hard time translating "liability", but he's quite the hoofer.
