Exactly. She inherited a university with the #1 football program in the world who played in an iconic stadium of its own and coached by one Butch Davis... and under her tenure we hired Larry Coker, Randy Shannon, Al Golden. She invested $0 in football, was instrumental in tearing the Orange Bowl to rubble, and she never lifted a finger to built us a replacement stadium. She didn't invest in any facilities. Then there's the famous picture of her accepting a check from Nevin Shapiro.

Shalala was as much of a train wreck for Miami as anyone could be. If she wasn't actively trying to destroy the football program, then she just bungled it up so badly I don't know if we should laugh or cry. We're STILL digging our way out of the hole she put us in.

That's her legacy.

Nah man. What you’re missing is that during her class, she would talk about athletics and I believe even let us out early for a basketball game one time. What an asset for UM athletics.

Butch-to-Coker was Foote.

She had nothing to do with the Orange Bowl debacle. That was David Samson and the Latin Builders Association and Manny’s dad.

I took her class too. She was a nice lady. But I couldn't agree with you more... actions speak louder than words. Lip service means nothing to me.

It was on her watch. In the old days, if you were on guard duty and the enemy snuck in during the night, they hang you for it. Doesn't matter whose fault it was, it was your watch.

People hate to hear this...and I am not saying its right. But Win football games and applications go up. Applications go up you get more selective. More selective better more successful students and then graduates. Better academics you get stronger candidates to teach.

Hence why a few SEC schools and Clemson who have won over the last 20 years are now looked at stronger academically. Also newer nicer dorms. Better academic buildings.

Everything improves. Miami's football team likely paid for most of what people see on and around campus the last 30 years.

We win over the next 2-3 years and watch the difference in the school in 5-6 years.
