Beginning in the 1980s with the arrival of former head coach [[Howard Schnellenberger]], the University of Miami football became one of the nation's most high profile and elite [[college football]] programs and began developing what now is one of the sport's largest and most passionate global fan bases. Since then, it also has developed several of the most famed, flamboyant, and successful players at the NFL level but also, along the way, been subjected to vast scrutiny and some criticism during its rise to national prominence, which featured three national championships in the 1980s followed by scandal-related damage to its recruiting capabilities,<ref>{{Cite web |last=updated |first=The Week Staff last |date=2011-08-19 |title=U. of Miami's 'booster bombshell': 'The craziest scandal in NCAA history' |url=https://theweek.com/articles/482403/u-miamis-booster-bombshell-craziest-scandal-ncaa-history |access-date=2025-02-20 |website=theweek |language=en}}</ref> a subsequent comeback leading to its [[2001 Miami Hurricanes football team|2001 national championship]], which was followed by a second [[2011 University of Miami athletics scandal|scandal-plagued descent]].

Much of the program's dramatic history from the 1980s is captured in a widely viewed December 12, 2009, [[ESPN]] documentary, ''[[The U (film)|The U]]'', which drew 2.3 million viewers, then making it the most watched documentary in ESPN history. A 2014 sequel, ''The U Part 2'', picked up where ''The U'' left off, covering the University of Miami as it launched a comeback from these 1980s scandals leading up to its 2001 national championship team, widely considered one of the best, and possibly the best team, in college football history,<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32644138/the-2001-miami-hurricanes-one-college-football-greatest-teams-ever |title="The 2001 Miami Hurricanes are one of college football's greatest teams ever," ESPN, November 18, 2021 |date=November 18, 2021 |access-date=September 23, 2022 |archive-date=September 23, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220923045239/https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32644138/the-2001-miami-hurricanes-one-college-football-greatest-teams-ever |url-status=live}}</ref> followed by yet a second series of widespread scandals that cost scholarships and inflicted multi-year damage on the program's competitiveness.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Levine |first=Stuart |url=https://variety.com/2009/tv/news/the-u-sets-docu-record-at-espn-1118012832/ |title='The U' sets docu record at ESPN |magazine=Variety |date=December 16, 2009 |access-date=January 26, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091227050008/http://www.variety.com/article/VR1118012832.html?categoryid=1011&cs=1 |archive-date=December 27, 2009 |url-status=live}}</ref>
