    I know nothing, but I would bet quite a sum of money that it will be on campus and most likely integrated right into the athletics area.  Why?  Because if not, there is no point of doing this, and we might as well stick with Ray Jay.

    It is going into the Athletics area. It's a area that wasn't mentioned in the feasibility report

    All this tells me is that they have no idea yet about either a potential site or funding - aka we are nowhere close to even announcing anything. This is actually super disappointing. I don't believe anything anyone says anymore.

    They have the site decided...Tampa Bay Times doesn't have any knowledge on whats going on behind the scenes. The stadium again is 100% getting built on campus. I do not know when, but I'd put my money on the under 10 years haha. I think a announcement is coming at the end of the year when they have the visual plans finalized. Although, it was supposed to come during the homecoming game, but I agree with waiting until the design is finalized

    How accurate is sickem365 radio? Just saw someone on Twitter mention they said today that smu, memphis, usf, and boise will be added in December to big 12 after the pac12 media deal is done.

    that would make sense of the 6 new = 3 defectors and 3 more theory

    They were accurate on their previous predictions but the water seems very murky right now so I do not believe they are very confident in that statement. I have no sources so I have no idea what I am talking about by the way.

    Pretty well run???????😄

    I know who you are on twitter haha from that username haha but it's all about perspective. It may seem like a mess on the outside, but I promise you it's pretty sound on the inside. Seems like a lot of folks have trouble grasping that ideology. USF athletics was not well run when Harlan was running the show, since Kelly's arrival things are getting in order gradually. I know from your tweets, you won't believe me because you are literally the most negative "fan" I've seen in my life. 

  5. Very much expected. Air Force wanted to go but CSU changed their minds I guess when it was confirmed yesterday that SDSU and BSU were standing firm. Look for UAB, Liberty, UTSA, and Charlotte to get hard looks.

    Anyone who says Coastal Carolina and App state are looking short term and football only. IMO Liberty is the strongest add but comes with backlash. Think Aresco was trying to avoid being put in this situation by shooting for the stars.

    Also this is pure speculation from my part

    That's simply not true at all. Sure USF has a long way to go to be considered by the Big 10, but the Big 10 has flirted with the idea of adding Georgia Tech for the last 15 years for the purpose of getting into the South.

    yeah small % it happens, but I doubt it. Georgia tech would be the only University it would consider and it would be for academic purposes only. After the Rutgers experiment, I doubt they follow that model. Only schools that would add value to them while also holding their characteristics are: UVA, DUKE, and UNC

    The more I read this thread, the more aware I become that as fans we are in the bargaining stage of grief.  So many "Connected" people with "inside info" on how we are getting a shiny new stadium! I didn't realize that everyone on this board had insiders embedded in the athletics department who share confidential info with them.   Its nice to have hope. But there is no way that this program, after YEARS of not being able to get out of their own way, is suddenly going to be able to throw together a plan to, fund, design, and build a stadium in a matter of months for completion in 3-5 years. 

    We have people on this board seriously believing that an invite from the AAU is coming, followed by one from the B1G! Seriously take a step back and think of that.   How hard was it for this school to become "pre-eminent"? Does anybody remember how the state legislature tried their best to stop that from happening?  Do you remember that we had USF Lakeland taken from us and converted into a ghost town Poly school by the state?  Now we think that the state reps who did that hatchet job on USF are going to turn around and do all they can to help USF get into a better conference (B1G) than FSU and Miami?  There is no way on earth any of this is going to happen.  

    1. AAU is still far away imo. The school likes everyone to believe we are so close like propaganda

    2. Without a doubt, the stadium will be announced this year. However, how long will it take to fundraise and gather funds? I do not know. I assume they will follow the CSU model as build classrooms and other campus offices in the stadium.

    3. BIG will never invite schools in the South. Only conference that USF will be able to join in my lifetime atleast is Big 12 or ACC by some god given miracle (if FSU leaves for the SEC)

     

     

  8. Stadium announcement is GUARANTEEED to be announced this year... - *in my Charles Barkley 

    Big 12 wants to see more of a investment on Athletics from USF before inviting them since if you invite them right now, they wouldn't really be incentivized to build a stadium and invest on athletics as a whole. Big 12 wants USF more than Boise... However, they need to see the infrastructure and commitment. IF NOT, Boise gets in instead of us. There was a reason why Will Weatherford brought up the stadium during the ceremony...

    More than one person told me this as well.

  9. Some players in our program want to win and are hungry. Others just want to flex on instagram.. Last year and this year (right after the NC State game) some players posting instagram posts with captions like they won lmao.

    I think step 1 would be more leadership on the sidelines. Our sidelines are a mess and players just walking around talking like its practice. Charlie Weis Jr needs to come down from upstairs and talk to our offense as well as other coaches. I've seen high school sidelines with more leadership

  10. UAB built a $170 million dollar stadium with a capacity for 46-47k. USF 100% has the money to build a stadium if they did to be honest and USF built one of the nicest medical schools in the country (literally a skyscraper).  Don't even need to use endowment money, we just need to sell bonds like every schools does when they build expensive things. Problem is that I'm not sure USF wants to take that risk nor increase student fees to help finance. Hopefully, now that they see how damaged our brand really is, they will take this seriously. Being grouped in the same conference with schools such as FAU, App state, and ECU is embarrassing to the brand and our academic profile. I wish we could start a change.org petition to show the board of trustees or someone, that majority of students want to see change.
