My guess is the elite 4 and 5 star guys considered other variables.
true. but it can't hurt and can only help with some. B1G needs every little edge they can get to get those types of guys. And it would 100% only help.

it makes a difference

it the kid and family know they will get a game in Miami on the upcoming schedule

the Big Ten teams coming to Miami 4 or 5 times a season helps with exposure
agree 100%.

I'm considering a high 4 star guy from south Florida who has offers from Texas, Florida, Miami (now in the B1G), Ohio State, Michigan, and whoever else.  I really think he decision won't be predicated on whether Miami is a B1G team other than it adds to Miami's appeal vs ACC.

Anyway, no way to know really.

Yeah but SEC and UGA in particular doesn't have to ever worry about shifting demographics which has become a hinderance to recruiting the very best players the nation has to offer. B1G and the helmets in the B1G footprint like M/OSU/PSU do.
I was told by members of this board that this is dead wrong.  They even supplied population maps showing how the north and midwest still have far greater numbers of humans and said I should ignore the mass migration happening from the rust belt.

Existing B1G fans would love traveling to Miami- it'd be like an east coast RB.  Warmth, the beach, and you fill half the stadium with your fans!

Balderdash. 


Everyone who has ever lived in the North and Midwest recalls those dark days, when all of their neighbors loaded up their family Trucksters, and headed down to Alabama in search of better times.

Not Alabama, but then again, Saban hasn't built his throne of championships with in-state talent. 
GA, FL, TX, NC, AZ, and (until recently) CA.
Droves!
MI, OH, and PA "grew" by 2.2% from 2010 to 2020.
FL?  14.6%
TX?  15.9
GA  10.6
SC  10.7
NC  9.5
AZ  11.9
.
Oh, and they're not trapped indoors for 4 months/year.

You won't find anything in the North or Midwest that is even half as remote as northern Arizona.

this is silly and disingenuous and you know it.

Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee have been growing like a god damn weed meanwhile the entire north and midwest has been stagnant and in decline. These demographics shifts have been going on for a couple decades now, and COVID only accelerated them into overdrive.

Montana? The Dakota's? Phoenix alone has more people than those 3 states or close to it and Montana is bigger and the Dakotas together are bigger also

I think Montana is the most remote state I've visited, though Wyoming comes close, I'm not including Alaska as we didn't see internal AL, I know it's more "remote" than the one that falls between seat cushions.

I don't think anyone said to ignore it. But now it's a major factor, since 2020.

I don't know the demographics, but some 1500 people per day are moving to FL. Not sure how many are leaving or dying.

The migration has been happening for decades now.
