Now more than ever I think USF's upside is insane. TV Market, OCS, AAU, surging revenue generatng programs, facilities, recruiting. If we were invitied to a more prominent league I think things would be next level. Imagine having B12 or ACC coming on campus to play week in and out. What that would do to recruiting and ticket sales would be insane. With the ACC we would also be rubbing acadmic shoulders with the likes of Standford, Cal, Duke, GT etc. I also think we would fair well against those teams.

There has been some poo pooing around here by some poster over AAU status. It will not get us into the B10 but we would show up on lists as potential candidates they could consider. Not bad recognition.

Claire was pretty sexy.

The ACC was so two weeks ago. We have moved on to the B10

When the Powerball is up to a billion I might run in and put a couple of $ down. It is a fun game where I get to fantasize about what it would be like to win that much money. In that light, indulge me on what getting into the B10 would do for this program.

You are not going anywhere. We are all in this together.

Huh?!?!?

This is the first I am hearing of this but it would be awesome. The Claw is rarely used and maybe USF Golf could make a deal with the Tampa Palms Country Club to use their course. It is right next door.

I have 4 kids between the age of 17-21 so I have looked at a lot of schools in Florida. My wife and I discouraged USF due to it being too close to home. If I was being honest, another reason was the lack of student life on (no OCS) and off - no night life or college town shops or restaurants. You step off campus and you are in suitcase city or temple terrace. With the AAU status, new dorms, new stadium and the new development that comes with it USF is shaping up to be a near perfect school (I am happy to list why I feel that way). That is with or without an ACC invite.

This is how I've always felt. I actually live near USF and I hate driving to Ray Jay. It's a great stadium, no doubt, but it's a professional stadium dedicated to the bucs and we are guests there.

I can't imagine there are any guarantees in this environment. I wouldn't be surprised if they were told not having a stadium hurt their chances.

This is hubris on their part. I get it, I am sure they have gotten it into their heads they would dominate in any league but there is no denying they have had an easier path.

Who would likely be a ACC candidate from the B12?

Is cultural fit still a thing these days? To answer my own question I guess I can see a common profile in the leagues. How does USF stack up academically against Washington State and Oregon State? (or UCONN for that matter)
