The great thing is; if they wait until after this season is over, Memphis will be out. You're going to have a rough time of this year. While USF stands to have a very good year. We'll see who's star is on the rise then.

It is my humble opinion that we were informed that we do not yet meet the standard required. So this was released as a way for the administration to point towards specifics as to why we did not meet standards. It is also a way for them to state that they know the standard and were in fact addressing those short comings to avert any backlash.

Face it, the media is not our friend. They continuously tout our previous 3 bad years and gloss over our last years efforts while completely omitting UCF's epic failure last year. I've stated this before, we need media support and we do not have it. For all the faults and BS that goes on at that school to the east, they still get media support. They (The Media) speak about our facilities a lot. They're continually harping on our lack of an OCS meanwhile, people forget about the improvements that have been made to our facilities across the board. Our athletic record in MBB and Football are continuously talked down but none mention that we were the best program in the American last year and second this year. Why is this considered common knowledge? The media spits this crap out and we have no one on our side refuting it. A lot is made about our poor attendance recently but none of the mentioned candidates have ever reached our attendance records or averages when we were winning with the exception of Memphis and Temple for a couple games. The misinformation and lack of positive spin about USF is mind numbing.

That's it, I'm creating a USF account on "SugarDaddy.com".

There is no talk, except on this board regarding an OCS.  When will people listen?

Need to put 50K in football seats consistently.  Then, and only then will there be a conversation.

Go Bulls!

Actually, there is talk about an OCS on "TheDailyStampede" but, I get your point.

The options are important to consider. The SEC and PAC and Big 10  are going to stretch the revenue gap a good bit each of the next 5 years. The ACC network partner who owns the right to the network, has shelved it. Thus, the ACC in my mind, once they see the SEC jump forward in $$$$, will be as wiggly as the Big 12, especially since most of the revenue/TV ratings are being driven by one school...FSU.

 

Many more blocks to tumble and be partially reassembled in my opinion.

I agree with this. I'm guessing there's a lost of conference shuffling to come.

Just an FYI, the attendance numbers for the UCF spring game included those participating in their spring festival. Not just those attending the game. So that was a poor example from the start.

Should probably sell "Hash Brownies." I hear people can't get enough of them.

...demand that we, the University of South Florida, start receiving revenue equal or greater to the University of Texas, University of Oklahoma, Florida State University, the University of Miami, and many other football programs we have earned the right to be on par with. You may not know this as the Athletic Director of a Division 1 university, but there are currently 5 conferences that make more money than the rest and wield more influence over the rest of the Football Bowl Subdivision than the others. These so-called Power Five have been unfairly trying to secure more money and exposure for themselves and have little to no interest in giving it to those outside those who they deem worthy. Consider this letter a call to action. I demand that you immediately inform the Big 12 that USF should be included in their upcoming conference expansion. This is a very serious matter and your lack of public discourse on USF's inclusion in the Big 12 strikes me as a sign of incompetence. I, as a graduate of USF, deserve to know every single thing you are currently doing to force the Big 12 to offer us membership and any silence on your part will be taken as a sign of your lack of knowledge on the matter and its significance to the athletic program going forward.

Sent and I signed it "Ticketless!" as I'm sure my ticket renewal will be denied upon receipt.

Since March, B12 ADs have seen scheduling models for future that include 8 and 9 conf games and a 16 team league.

 

 

Now this should work nicely in our favor...16 teams and USF gets in! (if true)

YES!!!!!! That would put some butts in the seats!!!!!

I'm hoping they're pushing for a Conference Network. If so, Florida is a must. That should make them go to 14 at least.

Some experts predict that experts will not be around in 20 years.

I concur with this.

I've been told in the future, many experts will have their expertise questioned. This may cause many experts to rethink revealing their expert opinions.

That is interesting I wounder if it gives him any extra power for expansion 

Probably just a pulpit from which to scream louder at the heavens but, sooner or later those screams could give way to action. Even a crying baby gets checked in the middle of the night.

OU's president, Boren becomes Big 12 Boards Chairman.

The Big 12 Boards June 3rd meetings just became interesting.

Who needs Mosiland. Just build on Magnolia Field. Sit the stadium between, Magnolia Drive, Alumni Drive and Pine Drive. Magnolia lets out onto East Fletcher Drive and Pine drive lets out onto Bruce B Downs. Problem solved. LETS BREAK GROUND!!!!

Ugh! I'd like to see him catch on with a team and stay a while. He's a hard worker and has good character. The NFL needs more players like that.

You just made me want to heave my nachos!

It occurs to me that every time these guys say they aren't doing something and not just denying it exists, they actually do it. So everyone pack your bags, just in case.

I'm fairly certain that CWT will be gone mid season if he loses the Spring Game. Expectations are high with last years results. Any regression at all will be deemed a failure. I've heard that Harlan is already compiling a list of possible candidates to replace him. CWT has no wiggle room here. It's a 50/50 chance He Gone!!!!

CWT missed Ironside and now this kid, who'll go to Ironside's school and will be coached by Ironside's dad.  Early bird, early bird.

How about an OCS and IPF...two things many on here crave, which "little brother" has had for years.

Hmm, that sure helped them perform on the field.

I'll be watching with my 2 little girls. We're rooting for her.

I do hope that COA can make it work. I hate the turmoil we're going through.

If COA doesn't succeed, my money is on Andy Enfield to step in.

Lets not forget the three winless seasons when we list their many accomplishments.

OMG!!!!! read some of the comments on that page. It's so obvious to identify the UCF Trolls. I'm simply amazed at some of the data presented as well. It's clearly out dated. They need to research their entire list of earnings upon graduation. That entire list is inaccurate.

I love the complaint about the number of students per teacher. They don't even realize that USF has smaller class sizes then UCF.
