I can answer that for you Walty. Attendance. ..cheap beer prices. Key wins….like we've done in the past, announce we won, even when we didn't. Donations. ….we just need to tax something, anything. Facilities….they ann ounce it before every baseball game, " for your convenience  restrooms are located  at the swimming complex next door". Who could want anything else. Now these are not official fau comments. But they probably  have been discussed.

Haha, it isn’t even like I trashed PBC, all I really said is that Miami is doing really well; and I certainly didn’t trash FAU, but I guess it is hard for some people to hear that FIU is doing ok too?  

I don’t know, if it makes people feel better to think of FIU as an institution on the precipice of collapse; and Miami as some Syria-like war zone that people are fleeing from and avoiding, despite the better than 10% population growth rate and rising property values, so be it.

I just wanted to set the record straight.

Anyway, I don’t know what the AAC has planned.  I am sure ESPN can renegotiate their contract, which might force them to add a school, but how they go about doing that, I have no idea.

If all they care about is available eyes on screens, the only two big markets they don’t hit are Atlanta and Miami.  If they care about gaps in the map they are probably looking at ODU, UAB, or MTSU.  If they care about sustained success and a strong following then App State is probably your best bet.

Really it is a crap shoot.

No one said fiu is not doing well. Your statements regarding the surround area not mattering, however, are a bit ridiculous. We have gotten multiple recruits over you just because of the area surrounding fiu (according to those recruit's parents (Ocie Rose and an offensive lineman whose name escapes me to name just two).

As for your statements re: Miami doing better than Palm Beach County in terms of growth and/or welath, I direct you to this article: In Miami, There Are Too Many Condos and Not Enough Foreign Buyers - WSJ.

Also this one regarding Palm Beach: Palm Beach Notches Big-Ticket Home Sales - WSJ.

Regarding Boca specifically from two years ago: Shedding Seinfeld Stereotypes, Boca Property Developers Court Younger Crowd - WSJ

And perhaps the best one from CNBC regarding Boca as the next Miami: Behind Florida real estate

I think most at this point know that Miami is not what it used to be. And the fact that you mention Downtown Miami as a redeeming quality is mind boggling. I used to work in Downtown Miami and there could not have been more homeless people. No socialite or person of wealth would be there past 6 or 7 pm leaving work.

You have personally attacked players beyond what is reasonable on this forum, make countless baseless posts on this forum and like FIUjules said your digs at Miami with "Universidad"  and "dump" comments it's pretty obvious what you're putting down.
  
I have lived in all three counties in my life and I loved my time in Boca, but I rather live in Miami or Ft.Lauderdale as a post-grad.

Palm Beach County is nice, but outside of a couple of areas, there is not much to do.

The median age of Miami Dade is a full 5.5 years younger.

There is not much to do in Sweetwater, but Boca doesn't do anything for its University.  It has been almost 4 years since 20th street development was supposed to start and nothing.
I was told by someone at FAU that the city balked when it came time to start some of the construction projects on 20th.  The city is worried about a few of its homeowners who live in that neighborhood who have to call the cops in parties on the street and now will not move on development.
