Miami spent its way back to the mountaintop, reaching the 2025 national championship game before falling to Indiana — the program's first title-game appearance of the Playoff era.

Mario Cristobal's roster, valued No. 2 nationally by College Front Office, was led by quarterback Carson Beck (a reported $4M deal, ~13% of a roster that approached $30M) and reloads for 2026 around Duke transfer Darian Mensah. The Hurricanes pair that with a resurgent men's basketball investment and a traditionally elite baseball program, giving Miami one of the largest all-sport NIL footprints in the ACC.
