Or, things are much closer to "ok" than you think it is. Imagine if all us "complacent" fans (that are not really complacent) are right, and the team is actually moving in the right direction, as the numbers say they are. That would be amazing, no?

And Azmodi, sorry, it's Jobu dude. But yeah, not a troll, and not a fictional character to trifle with. 

I saw my typo and fixed it.

You don't sound like anything you are saying. 1) I speak the truth and you can't handle the truth and 2) you have to resort to labels since you can't back it up. As a bonus note, you have been here for nearly 7 years and only know 2 people? One is probably this account and the other your alt account. Nice try troll. Your pic says it all.

I'd like to point out that GaUSFBull's Avatar is not a Troll. He is in fact "JoBu". See the movie "Major League" for references. Thanks for playing...

i would take them to court 

ncaa is a puppet of the sec and money/power brokers

what a sham?

big ten/big 12 needs to add usf and orlando schools to have these camps

You're wrong. The NCAA is a puppet of ESpin whom owns the SEC. Anything that hurts the SEC hurts ESpin and that can't be allowed.

Yes, I agree. If the B1G or Big 12 adds USF, that could circumvent the rule.

A.w got ****ed on the deal to even come to Usf.. Coach t promise opportunity to compete, that was a lie.. He's locked in with Qf n Mack.. Bench didn't have a chance and Johnson(4star Rb recruit) never had more then 11 carries in his career, still managing to be a playmaker.. We're talking bout a coach who leaves his starters in up 30+ against famu smh.. Qf is a hell of a athlete, I seen him play n high school I seen him play live in college.. But he's a below average passer, it's easy to complete a few surprise passes when ur offense run 75% of the time, but believe me he had his share of toss ups or wtf throws.. But hey who can blame Coach t.. He's one year removed from being on the hot seat, he can't afford   Change he has to go with what worked for him.. So he's goin to ride Qf n Mack **** till their balls fall off, then he'll jump on the next.. 

Hmm.

Perhaps if AW could throw the ball to receivers and not the defense while wearing pads, he'd get more reps. I'm curious as to your response as to why AW is behind Kean on the depth chart? I mean CWT doesn't have more invested in Kean then AW.

Ok man I know it's the off season but, try to focus. It's the men's team.

Gotcha anyway, We've got a scholarship open!!!!! Who's out there that we can go after?

He was released by COA. This will be his third program in three years. What's the history on this kid and are we going to be better for this?

I agree, but when things do break he will surely take credit for his predictions and insider information since be pretty much named everyone is an expansion candidate.

  This is so true!

MHver3 is a complete tool. He's been throwing out realignment garbage since day 1. He's one of the examples of why Social Media is a detriment to our society.

I'd be shocked if he had any real inside information. As for him stating that those were the findings of the research firm, well, that's a joke. Even if he were to be handed a copy of the research findings, I'm positive he'd mix up the information in the process of copying that information to twitter.

I have no faith in these so called "Insiders". They are however, good for a laugh from time to time.

Well, through a completely exhaustive research process of .08 seconds, during which time I had to stop worrying about more important things like my itchy *******, I'd say it's because a Tampa station is responsible for producing things someone in Tampa might be interested in. Also, USF is in Tampa.

 

Weren't you the one complaining a couple weeks ago about Doppler 9000's coverage of USF?

I complained about the overly negative theme of articles about USF and yes I pointed out that Doppler had a link to an abundance of them.

Wrong!

Derogatory and accusatory articles are worth more clicks. More clicks equals more time spent on the page which generates more add revenue. See, I can be a realist too.

It's not a big deal man. It's just 1 article that barely anyone will read or make a big deal about.

You're right. I should stop caring. Just give up like everyone else. Who cares after all right? I mean if our home town media won't support us or give an accurate account, maybe someone else will.

This is exactly why it continues. No one asks questions or points our the lack of equality in reporting facts. No one presses for fairness. America is constipated with ignorance. it needs to take a huge dump.

I get your frustration, but the fact that CBS is deciding to report or even spin this issue any sort of way doesn't make it any less true.

Ask yourself this, why are they pointing out USF? When you answer that question, you'll understand. They are not targeting other schools. Other schools are mentioned but, were not the target of their story. Why is USF whom isn't the largest offender, UCF has a larger percentage then us as does Rutgers but, they aren't the target. Why????????

13 minutes ago, Paisa el Toro said:

I don't think so, as it's actually true. Rutgers is the same way, their student fees have propped up their athletic department for ages. Lots of schools do it, and I don't think its right. This is why we need more alumni to step up and actually give more than just "lip service" to loving their alma mater. We need more folks to speak with their wallets too

Ok, where's the articles from the local papers on these other schools about this glaring issue??? My point is that you don't see them. We here in Tampa are so lucky to have news media personnel whom are so interested in looking after our budgets that, they're willing to slice and dice our local university (which happens to be a major employer and contributor to our local economy). Their interests are self serving to say the least. Sensationalism sells but, lets not report on politics in an election year. No, lets write a slice and dice article on our College instead. Lets not cover crime corruption or even our traffic woes. Lets just help shoot down our local college at a time when they may be eligible for a huge financial boost that could only help our community. Yeah, lets stick a knife in our neighbors backs while we're at it.

My point is, these articles do little to sell papers and only harm the community in the end. As you can see that almost every school uses subsidies to some extent. So why continuously point out USF? Our local media does more harm to us then good.

Where to start. We are talking about $400 a year? Seriously? Out of a minimum of $21k? It is always funny to me that there is never a news story about subsidies paid to athletic departments at P5 schools.

Exactly. Preach on brother!!!!!

I would agree if they did so on every team but, we both know they don't. So to me it's total BS!

It's just another example of the crap coverage we get by our local rags.

So, you blame Obama and the playoff system for USF's poor attendance, and pitiful contributions?

If sports is one of the main reasons that USF has grown academically, then why is student attendance at athletic events so low?

IMO, it should be against the law fund inter-collegiate athletics with student fees.  

But, it's ok that all the programs that are now P5 programs did exactly that in the past. We just can't do that because we didn't start out 100 years ago right?

I read more BS on this board every day. Does USF now have a degree field covering rhetoric???

After thorough consideration, I concur with the OP. As it happens, I do feel a slight bit cleaner if not "Better" when I change my shorts. Thus I concur, "Change is good!"

Most of us will be long gone by the time that scenero happens. 

So most of you will be dead in ten year? Sucks to be you.

Mind you I didn't say it would happen. I just feel like that's the plan. It's hard to be a fan these day's unless you're rooting for the money train.

I feel there will soon (Relative to financial and structural changes within how networks are run/made profitable) be a Division 4. It will be created once the P5 are all at 16 teams. There will be a couple independent's as well. Those most likely will be ND, BYU, and the armed service academies if they wish to join.

5 x 16 = 80 (+4 Independent's for a grand total of 84)

This Division 4 will play mainly amongst themselves and some paid games with the Division 1 Bowl Sub Division. They will no longer play FCS and to join them will be by invite only. There will be certain financial metrics set that would be almost impossible to achieve unless you were already a member of this Division. Thus move ups will not exist.

They'll have an 8 team Championship System with 5 auto bids for the conferences and 3 at large bids. It's all about the Benjamin's. .

That's what I honestly believe is the future. I hope USF gets in before the split.

There is zero chance that the schools you mentioned would be caught dead in that league. 

There is ZERO chance that league is ever created.

BC, UConn, Syracuse, Temple,Duke, WF, Pitt, UC, UofL, Memphis, USF, UCF, Houston and SMU make a solid league.  

I want no part of UAB, Ga St or Old Dominion.  We can do better than that.

 

Where? Look at the map. There would be none better available unless, you value schools with no market as your conference's development project.

You could have NIU (Has no following in Chicago), USM, GA Southern, South Alabama (Mobile?), Richmond (Richmond/Petersburg) or Carolina Costal.

It's not like it's ever going to happen anyway.
