  1. JFC - looks like I need to take another half-decade break from this place. The negativity is what drove me away the last time. Enjoy your misery!
  2. I know from reading that this isn't going to be a popular opinion, but I don't personally think football games against Oklahoma State, Kansas State, Kansas, Iowa State or Baylor are going to move the needle much more than most of the AAC schools do (once you get over any novelty factor). Odds are 1/3 of our fans couldn't even tell you the mascot or nickname of most of those teams or identify their logos if their lives depended on it. Even if a Big XII offer materialized, in the face of the AAC exit fees, Big XII entry fees and presumably reduced revenue at the start (for sure not getting a penny of the Texas and Oklahoma exit fees), in the face of trading the sixth best conference for the fifth best conference, I'm not sure whether the cost will be worth the trouble...

  3. Am I being punked here? 64 > 12 2 > 1 Chance USF gets stuck behind in the AAC while UCF gets into the Big XII > zero percent. The ******* Gators got nothing to do with it!
  4. Presumably we all recognize that there is a > zero percent chance that UCF ends up getting into whatever becomes of the Big XII and USF does not. My question is - does USF then pull the plug on the War on I-4? Speaking only for myself, I would hope that Kelly would tell Oviedo to go pound sand if that happens. USFFan
  5. How is it a monopoly? Fox still broadcasts B1G, Big 12, Pac-12 and MWC games. NBC still broadcasts Notre Dame games. CBS Sports Network still broadcasts games including AAC games. There's still the prospects of Amazon, Google, YouTube and others getting involved.

  7. Given that the state just passed several new laws, including one that mandates faculty and students to submit their political viewpoints in order to prevent the "liberal indoctrination" of students: Florida to force students, faculty to declare political views to stop liberal 'indoctrination' Governor Ron DeSantis said the state would monitor students and staff's beliefs to ensure they can express their beliefs and viewpoints. and will now allow students to record faculty without their permission in order to avoid this indoctrination from happening: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis signs bill permitting college students to record professors in class Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has signed into law, a new bill that will, among other things, allow college students to use recordings of their college professors’ lectures as... and wants to ensure that the Critical Race Theory bogeyman never gets a foothold on campus: Florida bans 'critical race theory' from its classrooms TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida's state Board of Education banned “critical race theory” from public school classrooms Thursday, adopting new rules it said would... I'd say putting in a president who will support each of these initiatives is probably at least of mild interest to him...
  8. They just named almuna Rhea Law to be the interim president.
  9. No idea how credible these are, but would certainly explain some things... USFFan
  10. Oh believe me, I'm not blaming the university. I'm blaming the hundreds of thousands of USF alumni who buy tickets to see Fl*rida, FSU or Miami games and paraphernalia and then ***** about the fact that we're "not in a good enough conference" or we "don't play football like the big boys." USFFan
  11. But now every player we're recruiting is going to be told that he's going to Ole Miss, Tennessee, etc. Bottom line, no excuses - people need to freaking show up at RJS or STFU when things aren't going great. USFFan

  13. I would expect the Kansas' and Oregon State's of the current P5 to have a conniption. But if, let's say, Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Fl*rida, Georgia, Clemson, FSU, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Penn State, Michigan, WIsconsin, Texas, Oklahoma, USC, UCLA, Stanford and Washington announced that they were leaving the NCAA to form their own league that would compete as two 9 team leagues that would have a playoff and crown a champion and would share the revenue from those broadcasts unless the "far down the ladder" schools agreed to a graded revenue plan, you better believe that the Baylors and the Mississippi States would come around (after screaming bloody murder about it). USFFan
  14. Oh, and since this is still ostensibly a realignment thread, I think the latest EPL news could portend what's going to happen in college sports soon: http://www.espnfc.us/english-premier-league/story/3215455/premier-leagues-big-6-face-opposition-on-overseas-tv-revenue-plans-reports Essentially, they're pushing to make a TV revenue distribution plan based on where you place in the league. So Bama, Clemson and Ohio State will start making way more TV revenue than Vandy, BC and Rutgers. That would likely rankle some feathers and spark a new round of realignment BINGO. USFFan
