The Miami Hurricanes have to be cringing at quarterback Tyler Van Dyke's recent comments about the football program and the enthusiasm, or lack thereof, shown by the student body in the once-proud program.
In fact, the Hurricanes are likely wishing that Van Dyke never went on Jordan Palmer's TikTok show to give his thoughts on being a quarterback for Miami.
Miami, again, is a once-proud (very proud) program. "The U" dominated college football in the late '80s and '90s. The Hurricanes had swagger and the players to back it up. We're talking about Ken Dorsey, Clinton Portis or Edgerrin James on the offensive side of the ball. Miami's defensive talent was even more impressive. From Michael Irvin to Ed Reed, to Ray Lewis or Warren Sapp.
"The U" was the place to be, which makes it almost sad to hear this commentary from Van Dkye.

That's right, Van Dyke would rather play an away game so, at the very least, he'd get an opportunity to experience a real college football environment. Hard Rock Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins and Hurricanes, is a hike from Miami's campus, and it's clearly not conducive for a big-time college football environment.
There's probably not a greater incitement on how far Miami has fallen as a program.
