    Maybe now if after the re-alignment there are some left over nerd schools looking to form a conference we could be involved in that. Duke, Wake, Boston College, Syracuse, Georgia Tech, Tulane, Rice, USF

    Wow getting this before FSU, Miami, and Georgia feels huge for our presence in the Southeast. Does this have any immediate tangible benefits besides being a badge of honor that raises the schools reputation?

    For the IPF we did the groundbreaking ceremony on September 9th 2021. I believe this is when Weatherford first announced we were going to build a stadium. Then it wasn't until December 2nd that year that we event started removing the turf that was on the practice field site that is now the IPF

    Wonder if the groundbreaking ceremony will be in October or June then. I think for the IPF we had the groundbreaking ceremony before clearing all that land and setting the foundation for construction so it could be October. But that would mean we'd need renderings by then, don't think I've ever seen a groundbreaking ceremony without a picture of whats being built.

    In the doc for the board of trustees meeting that sparked this thread page 90 literally shows the 2 design options they are shooting for: 1.) Hybrid of Houston's stadium and Colorado State's stadium. This is estimated to cost $200 million. 2.) Hybrid of SDSU and Colorado State's stadium. This is estimated to cost $300 million. The builder/design firm we went with is Populous AND Barton Malow. Populous is the architect behind Colorado State's stadium so not sure where you are getting the idea that our's won't look anything like that. Also San Diego State's stadium is literally the exact size we've heard for ours: 35k

    3.5 million a year feels like a great number. Could roughly: Give 100,000 each to the 10 best players in football/MBB. Give 30,000 each to the next 50 athletes we want to prioritize the most Give 12,500 each to the next 80 athletes we want to keep happy

    USF's Fowler Ave Collective announces hires, $3.5 million goal in '24 - On3 Fowler Ave Collective, which supports USF athletes' NIL opportunities, recently announced two new hires to its staff. Currently have 200 members who pay monthly dues, this is about 60,000 to 75,000 annually Goal is to get 1000 members to get that recurring amount to 350,000 annually LOT of non recurring payments. In the last 3 months they have raised close to a million bucks

    Within a 10 mile radius of Colorado State's campus there are 217,188 people Within a 10 mile radius of USF's campus there are 726,262 people Denver to Fort Collins is a 90 minute drive, people aren't making it unless the team is good. In terms of ability to consistently fill a stadium regardless of team success, USF's floor here will be much bigger.

    I think you'd want to get a big donation like that, then just park it like an endowment and use the interest to make the NIL payments. Asking for extra millions every year doesn't seem sustainable. If you can consistently get 4% on 5,000,000 you'd have 200k a year to pay out NIL and never have to ask for NIL fundraising again

    Herman has 6 years as a HC. First 5 we're with a good DC (Todd Orlando) who had them averaging a top 40 defense over those 5 years. Then he left to USC, the next year Texas let up 32+ PPG in conference and Herman got fired. So Herman had NY6 wins and success with our current DC, then got fired 1 year without him.

    yeah sports tv contracts seems like a bubble. The payouts now compared to 20 years ago are insane while tv ratings don't seem all that different. Would think we're pretty close to things at least plateauing if not declining.
  12. bulloni
    Herman is also a major ass hole. At Texas part of the reason he got fired is all his players hated him. A report had come out that when recruits we're coming to visit Texas active players on the roster that Herman recruited we're telling those players not to come there. Resulting in him pulling the worst recruiting class in their schools history since they started rating recruits. Definitely could see Herman rubbing this kid the wrong way and him just deciding to follow his old coordinator

    I think some people involved in sessions where the design firms were asking questions mentioned they are looking at having a restaurant in the stadium open year round.

    Seems cold blooded In conference tourney semi-final game of a 1 bid conference he scored 18 of his teams first 30 points en route to a 3 point win. Didn't miss a single shot or free throw doing it either.
  15. bulloni
    Hell no. If we lose that game whatever. They've been a strong G5 team and we've been ass. But it better be a loss like UF, Cincy, Tulsa, or UCF last year where we leave the game thinking "****, we're just as good as them. maybe if the ball bounced the other way that one time". If we continue our trend of getting blown out in the FBS opener my confidence in Golesh is dropping. The opener sets the tone for the season, and getting blown out by Western Kentucky would have me give up on any idea of 5+ wins

    Page 90 shows 2 design options. 1.) A hybrid of Houston and Colorado State's new stadiums. Estimated cost to construct in Tampa in 2025 is 200 million. 2.) A hybrid of San Diego State and Colorado State's new stadiums. Estimated cost to construct in Tampa in 2025 is 300 million. Sounds like we're going with option 2, if you want to know what the stadium/amenities look like googling those two stadiums probably gives you a good idea. It does mention for option 1 we'd already have all the money we'd need based on debt financing, philanthropic fundraising, and capital seat gifts. For option 2 there is currently a 100,000,000 funding gap. On page 96 it goes over how they'd fill that gap. Student fee's seem involved.

    it also points out we're only having 20k tickets scanned per game now and 35k is to create some scarcity/demand to drive season ticket sales. If we start selling out every game and need to expand in a decade thats a good problem to have
  18. bulloni
    Page 27 points out we are currently having around 20k tickets scanned per game, given historical trends with new stadiums and attendance they estimate we'll have around 24k tickets scanned per game with the OCS. Estimates it'll generate 20.5 million in net operating revenue with 5.3 million in operating expenses.

    Mentioned on the doc is the recommended building program: 35k seat capacity. 10k seats dedicated to scholarship seating (student section?). 1,200 club seats. 40 loge boxes. 24 luxury suites. Field level club with capacity to support 800 memberships Also points out the average cost for an FBS stadium to be built in Tampa is estimated at 194.1 million. They are estimating between it'll be between 277.2 and 302.9 million to make it a top tier stadium.

    sounds like we're still months away from any images of what this thing will look like

    I think Jose Placer was a great grab too. In 77 games over 3 season at North Florida he is averaging 14.3 PPG, 3.0 APG, 80% FT, 43.8% FG, and 36.1% from 3 on 6 attempts per game. That includes 13 games against P5 teams + Gonzaga. In those games he averages: 9.2 PPG, 2.8 APG, on 35.2% FG Not bad when surrounded by North Florida players facing the Kentucky, UCLA, Miami, Florida, Gonzaga, etc. I'd feel confident he averages those P5 counting stat #'s here, but on better efficiency since the AAC is a step below those teams. Having a guy like this as the first guard off the bench behind Youngblood/Miguel could be huge.

    I think its fair to set the year 1 goal at last years record. If we go 14-18? I'll probably think he's better than Gregory, but will need another year to see if he's our guy or not. If we do worse than that I think its fair to be pessimistic, if we win 15+ games year 1 I'll be excited for year 2.

    Hate that, diluted a bit too much. Also no way Notre Dame joins any conference besides the Big 10. You have Georgia Tech, Wake Forest, Louisville, Pitt, Syracuse, and Boston College already. Just add USF, Memphis, and UConn and have a 9 team conference like God intended. Every team plays each other in Football every year and every team plays each other twice in basketball.
  24. bulloni
    Hard to care too much about moving to a tougher conference when we can barely compete at our current level. Feels like we're a student failing out of all our classes at the same time we're begging to get moved into honors classes. The OCS is us pointing at a new laptop we we're just promised for Christmas that we swear is going to fix our issues.

    i'm thinking the fact he grabbed a grad transfer PG with 1 year of eligibility is a sign he wants to set the tone year 1 and isn't waiting around for a rebuild
