Truthfully I was very grateful that Miami came up to FAU. The stadium rocked and the Miami fans were quite fun especially when they booed their own coach. We ought to play all the UM-FAU games at FAU, its just a nicer stadium experience than sun life and UM when they come up gets to aggressively recruit palm beach county especially now with the ban on satellite camps.
FAU had to play at sun life when it first started. I hated it and im sure a lot of Miami fans hate it too.

RE: No more satellite camps
This NCAA ruling may be way more significant to a school like ND than any damn satellite camp.
Another NCAA decision that came out of the same meetings that included in the satellite camp ban:
From Blue & Gold Illustrated (ND site)----
"Much has been made this past week about the NCAA's decision to ban satellite camps, and while there's no question that the ruling will have an impact on the national recruiting scene moving forward, that's not the only noteworthy decision that came out of the NCAA's meetings last week.
The D1 Council also adopted a proposal that will allow institutions to cover roundtrip travel costs for the parents and or legal guardians of prospective student-athletes on official visits.
It's a ruling that essentially will be a game-changer for a program like Notre Dame that often times is asking parents to book expensive cross-country flights to accompany their sons on an official visit.
"The biggest challenge we have is that we recruit nationally," Notre Dame recruiting coordinator Mike Elston said on Wednesday. "We don't have a great foundation of guys to choose from like a Georgia has in Georgia or a Ohio State does in Ohio. So for us to be able to recruit nationally from California to Florida and Texas — we have to bring families in to help make that decision, because it's a tough decision to go from California to Notre Dame. And now that we can pay for the families to come, that's going to have a huge impact."
Previous NCAA rules stated that schools could only foot the bill for the prospective student-athlete's travel on official visits. While that wasn't much of a problem for schools that recruited regionally and could ask parents to simply drive to campus, it was a challenge for the Irish."
