To: Archie Bunker on steroids

Miami has always had trouble filling seats for home games. Part of the problem is the Orange Bowl, which is in one of the seedier areas of Miami, and part is the fact it's a small, private school. A third problem is the image they've cultivated over the years as a thuggish, gangsta, outlaw program. Sure, it sells jerseys and other stuff in the hood, but it doesn't put butts in the seats for games. As much as I despise Notre Dame, they have always managed to keep a reputation as a clean program(which is questionable), while Miami went for the WWE image.

Heck, even the Dolphins have trouble filling the seats in their stadium when they're good.
