That's a surprise. He turned down some much bigger jobs to stay...

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE FOR US LATELY?" There must be at least one AD who might consider Mario as their next coach. USM would be one I think might interview him.

In an article listed as offshoot of that cited article is a list of the 10 wealthiest universities in America.
SCHOOL.......Annual tuition + R&B..........Endowment
#1 Harvard......$53,000.........................31.7 Billion
#2 Yale............$53,000........................19.4 B
#3 Texas...........$13,000.......................17.2 B
#4 Princeton.....$54,000.........................17.1 B
#5 Stanford......$52,000.........................17.0 B
#6 MIT.............$40,000........................9.7 B
#7 Michigan......$25,000........................7.8 B
#8 Columbia.....$59,000........................7.8 B
#9 Northwestern..$40,000......................7.2 B
#10 Texas A&M..$19,000........................7.0 B

I guess FIU wants to be added to the Davis detritus pile.

FIU has been to more bowls in the past three years than UAB has been to in its existence.

They went from 0-12 in 2006 to 2 consecutive bowls in 2010-2011 with a share of the Sun Belt title in 2010.

Why don't some of the major football schools use their football revenues to lower tuition?

College football has changed the landscape of universities across our country. College football is out of control.

The high price of loyalty in today's society. I hope they go the "Southern Miss Route" (Highway 0-12) next season.

Remember they will be conference buddies with us soon, so Highway 0-12 would not be in our collective best interests.

RE: FIU fires coach Mario Cristobal
Most folks in Miami are a bit shocked. Cristobal has a lot of respect as an up and coming coach, but FIU was predicted to win their conference this year, and they finished 3-9. I think Cristobal has probably turning down bigger jobs because he has been hoping for a shot at the Miami job if Al Golden left.
