Ignore it if you want, but it’s a thing.
Also, our 3 stars go to the league as 5 or 6th rounders. Our 4-5 stars go undrafted or go late. Guys at those others schools go rounds 1 or 2.
How many first rounders has Miami produced in the last 8 - 10 years? A fraction. How many second rounders? Minuscule.
SEC has been paying players forever...that’s nothing new.
The difference for USC and Miami, I believe, are location (far more distractions) coupled with the proliferation of social media. For example, snaps at glam clubs with celebs, buying bottles, way more hanger on’s by virtue of location, far for nevin’s. You find that stuff far more frequent in major cities and not college towns, and social media amplify that lifestyle (i.e., kids what to show off).
