But I don't think the NCAA is going to budge because the gravy train is too good.

Here's what Miami has on offense.

Yes, they're losing Markel Bell, NCC Malinoa, on the edges, Jackson Cantwell, who is being mentored by Joe Thomas, is a five-star recruit.

I assume he's going to play right away, and you have to trust that Mirabal and company will coach up that offensive line.

But at the star positions, Darian Mensah is the ACC's leading passer, second in the nation behind Drew Mestemaker.

And a reigning ACC champion.

You have the ACC's leading rusher in Mark Fletcher, who can also mitigate what's going on along that offensive line, which we assume might take a slight step back because he's the best pass-blocking back in the nation.

And an absolute dog, as Tony has pointed out off mic.

And not one but two thousand-yard receivers.

One in Cooper Bargate, who's coming over from Duke.

And Malachi Toney.

You're making that seem a lot easier than it actually is.

Like, credit to the staff.

That's like, these are the guys that we want.

We're going to collaborate.

We're going to make ourselves super appealing to these guys.

And we're going to get it done.

And it's going to be messy.

Not everybody has a stomach for it.

Miami does.
