This was my concern. People with big money usually make sure the ROI was worth the investment. If it is, the money keeps flowing. When ROI suffers, they begin to question the investment. It's like any business. Yes, some rich fans are just that, fans.....and they will continue to blindly fund some programs. Maybe a few want to see a championship in their lifetime, so if they are a bit older, they may drive NIL for years. I get that. But most people are not wired that way. And let's be real, Miami has a much smaller alumni base than most CFB powerhouses.
This was the year everything was to fall into place...
- EASY schedule
- Clemson and FSU both down
- Heisman QB (being paid a **** ton)
- Experienced OL, RBs and WRs
- Stud Dline (potential and cost)
- Returning coordinators and systems
- Dependable placekicker for close games
And yet, Mario and crew still missed the ACC Championship game and likely the playoffs.
