U of Miami is definitely more relevant to Miami than TCU is to Dallas, but it's just one of three players in a city where college sports are an afterthought.
Good post with good information. Consider USC before Pete Carroll and the monster he awoke in short time. Los Angeles was dormant with Paul Hacket as head coach. I personally believe that Mario Cristobal is going to wake up the Miami program. Is Miami business NIL on the horizon? This is going to enhance the Hurricanes as prime viewing.

I personally believe that Miami, under Cristobal, will surpass the Gators, FSU, UCF, and USF in State in three years. If this happens, Miami has to be in the P2.

You have made good points on DFW also. What is the landscape going to be in that major metro if NIL explodes in DFW in years to come with the P2 on the horizon? DFW is a monetary footprint to be reckoned with? Today you are on point with TCU and SMU not being relevant but DFW footprint is relevant today and tomorrow. Will NIL money, in their back yard, fix the DFW status? Now, you could still be correct because DFW has had money in the past pre NIL and nothing might not change also.

My question, to you is, if Vanderbilt gets relegated out of the P2 20 team conference and TCU was promoted into it, is the SEC profoundly improved as a P2 organization? This is what I am thinking the ESPN New Yorkers will be discussing.
