This is so easy to understand.

There are two components to this:

1. Massive difference in alumni population and dedication

2. Big difference in actual player experience on campus.

UFag has an enrollment of over 60,000. Auburn has an enrollment of 30,000. Miami’s is 17,000. Spread out over 30-40+ years, this creates a MASSIVE difference in alumni population. Plus, Miami has a large population of international students who aren’t interested in football, so that lowers the number of potential contributors even more. The pool of money for fundraisers is much smaller and we have to rely more on the deep pocketed boosters much more than a large state school.

Miami doesn’t have the same traits as a large football crazy state school. Whether it be noteriety, facilities, game attendance, and so on, Miami has very unique strengths to sell recruits that are different from our competitors. Winning is what helps us sell our advantages to recruits to mitigate our disadvantages.

We have to stop crying and comparing ourselves to state schools that we will NEVER, EVER be. Winning and getting guys drafted is the equalizer that makes us equally or even more attractive to recruits than our competitors.

The real damage Ruiz did was have this fanbase thinking that someone else was going to pay for their national championship dreams. If just 50,000 fans put up a measly $20 a month, that is $12,000,000 dollars a year for NIL on top of what the wealthy boosters are already putting up!

$0.67 a day. Is $0.67 a day too much for Miami fans to pay to see wins on Saturdays and get trophies in the case? We are in the bag game and nobody can punish us for it. It’s time to put up or shut up. Let’s close our mouths and open our wallets. ( Not calling you out. Just speaking in general.)

the average fan doesn't follow recruiting and doesn't care. they go to games/watch games and see who's on the roster year in and year out.

I doubt we finish top 10. 12 has been my prediction for awhile with ceiling of 9.

I wonder y we aren't going after McCray as hard as some of these other dudes.

Man I get it we can’t win 5 games but NILs impact is greater than the impact of winning. Auburn sucks, Florida sucks, Missouri sucks, Texas A&M sucks, Oklahoma sucks and they are all making recruiting moves in 2024 already without the on field product.

Also all SEC schools while we’re stuck in a **** heel conference.

The TAMU DL Vs Miami OL is a **** of a matchup if both sides healthy

It is a great matchup but I’m quietly confident that if our OL last year could be effective against them (which they were), we should be more effective this year.

What concerns me more is that they should score more this year (at least 7-8 points more) given their new OC.

We’ll need a total team effort and we MUST PLAY TO WIN. If we go down, we must go down swinging & throw everything we’ve got at them.
