Nobody said anything about winning the conference. In fact, I said that the BE didn't produce a champ for its first two football years. But it was a FB playing conference with teams beginning in 1991.

This was probably a consequence of the teams being invited that were previously independents and had many contracts to break. By year 3 of BE play, they started to produce an official champion.

My only point was that Miami was under the BE banner and was a BE team at the time they won their MNC. You kept saying they were D I-A Independent, which is factually incorrect.
