Only reason I give the Canes a chance is bc game is in Miami. Still think IU wins by 10+ pts, but in a true neutral stadium would guess they win by 20.

I think this is probably correct. There is an outside chance of Miami winning with strict game control and a 25 carries for 137 yard type of game from Mark Fletcher. However I would never bet on it. If the scoring starts piling up Miami is out of luck.

I don’t think it’s delusional to think UNC can be a solid program. If Indiana can go thru a regular season 12-0 and be one game away from playing for the national championship, then any program can.

Every program that has a Mark Cuban, Phil Knight or a T.Boone Pickens that is....Indiana has the best money can buy right now. I think the money folks at UNC might pony up for basketball but football.. not so much.. hope I'm wrong..

Who is UNC’s Mark Cuban? Cuban is 50% more wealthy than MJ and MJ donates a ton to non-athletic causes. And, non-UNC causes (see Coach Smith’s advice to well-off UNC hoops alums).

UNC’s wealthiest alums aren’t “athletics only” donors.

They fund academics and scholarships and libraries.

IIRC, the largest donor to the Student Activities Center was Walter R. Davis. Not the great basketball player from the mid-late ‘70’s. He was a huge donor to the University. From Elizabeth City and made huge money in oil-related businesses in TX. That large red brick library just north of the Student Union is named for Davis.

When the Student Activities Center was funded, the money-raising consultants said UNC would need ONE $6-10 million donor. And, 5-6 $1.0-$1.5 million donors.

Walter R. Davis was the only donor north of a million and he was only at $1.0-1.5 million.

That’s when Skipper Bowles took Dean Smith on a fundraising road tour to Rams Club meetings across the US.

They’d also been hit with the whammy of students voting down a $5 or $10 fee for the semester or year (I don’t remember the details) to pay a long-term loan that would help fund the Student Activities Center.

If the students had voted in favor of the $5-20 fee, the Smith Center would be ringed with 12-15 rows of high school type (or the west wall of Carmichael) seats.

The students voted down that fee.

So, the recourse was to “auction” off the seats in the Student Activities Center.

That catch... Wow

Also how is 90% of the crowd IU? Is it that big of a school?

Big 10 public schools are HUGE. IU has 48,000 plus students.

Who is flying from Oregon to Atlanta and then Oregon to Miami 9-10 days later?

Bloomington to Atlanta isn’t a ridiculously long drive.

I realize it’s been ages since IU was at a Final Four. Those fucks are similar to Kentucky fucks. They TRAVEL. You might not be familiar with how scarily passionate IU fans are.

I think UM’s OL and DL will keep them in the game. I won’t hazard a guess as to who wins, but those O and D lines will keep UM in any game.
