[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Miami is not a no name school. That's utterly effing ridiculous. Everyone has heard of the University of Miami.[/quote]
umm, everywhere. I am a European and I heard of it. [/quote]
I am a European with an Ivy education. Fully aware of UVA since I was a teen. Literally never heard of U of Miami until this thread, and I am living in DC, almost 50.[/quote]
You have zero credibility. Or you are a total idiot. You pick. Really, by stating you’ve never heard of a top 50 college before DCUM, then you’re just making that up or seriously out of touch. 
Here’s some trivia for you. UM’s most recent past president of 15 years had been Clinton’s Secretary of HHS for almost a decade and awarded the Presidential Medal of a Freedom by Bush#2. The current president is a native Spanish-speaking Mexican, former Dean and prof at Harvard’s School of Public Health. Probably the most recognized alum is Dwayne TheRock Johnson, the world’s highest paid actor 2016. Recently, the campus was forced to evacuate and close for 3 weeks due to damage from hurricane Irma (fact of note because the campus survived unscathed CAT 5 Andrew that blew through Southern Florida in 1992).
Even if you close your eyes and ears anytime college sports news comes on (for multiple national championships over 30 years), have you ever watched the news or read a newspaper or seen People magazine or seen a popular movie? Nothing here rings a bell? [/quote][/quote]
The UVA v UM choice aside, to say you’ve never heard of one of these schools is ridiculous. At least it’s not something to brag about or to take as something worth weighing in your UVA/UM decision. All it proves is that one pp’s ignorance. [/quote]

I am one of the Europeans above and I have also heard of schools such as university of Delaware, Rutgers, university of Vermont etc. most people at top schools have heard of all these schools. It has nothing to do with football - just he fact that these are big schools and eventually you come across a professor or appear or a class material that has some connection to them.[/quote]
