USF pitched for rebuilt ACC or Big 12 to resurrect UCF rivalry FLYWAREAGLE.COM USF was pitched by Hero Sports' Colton Pool to become a member of a rebuilt ACC or the Big 12 -- the latter for the purpose of resurrecting the "War on I4" riva

Upside that is largely ignored and denigrated out of fear from those in power as we might run this town.

I took that to be related to the idea of the program being self-driven by the players. That it would hum along off of the players efforts and not as dependent on the coaching staff for motivation. However, I am jaded and know that we are on borrowed time with CAG. I find myself looking for signs of dissatisfaction from him.

From February yet somehow I missed it. Great USF coverage. Glad to have CAG. Talks about MVS too.

It's terrible and so sad. Golly, his smile. Tragic.

The thing is we remain in the AAC despite all of our great attributes. Now of course, our AAU attainment is very recent (and frankly our entry into Division 1 CFB is new in comparison to our peers). Still, there hasn't been much sign of interest from the current P4 conferences. In fact, we have been passed over in expansion more than once. Pubicly. What does that do to your worth? The consolidation that is currently going on, puts us in direct competition with more valuable, on-brand properties. However, the ACC teams may be stuck and fail to get out of their contract. What happens then? We must not stand pat.

ESPN/Big 12 and Pac 12 Tampering BILLFARLEY.SUBSTACK.COM Potential grounds for litigation and a blueprint to blow up the ACC In summary, before the Pac-12 demolition, UCLA, Texas, Oklahoma and Cincinnati paid application fees to join the Big 10, SEC, and Big 12. On the eve of the Pac 12 demolition, the Big 10 required an application fee from Oregon (and likely Washington), while the Big 12 waived application fees for Colorado, ASU, and Utah. Texas, Oklahoma, Oregon, and Colorado received financial assistance from their new conference media partners to assist in the transition to a new conference. This financial aid to transition schools from one conference to another, funded by media companies, demonstrates how closely conferences work with their media partners to secure new members. In summary, the Big 12 provided the public with a glimpse into the content of secretive telecast contracts when they threatened ESPN with litigation over tampering with their members. New member agreements disclosed by universities since that time indicate how tampering could take place: 1) waivers of application fees, 2) financial assistance from media companies to help universities transition to new conferences, and 3) conferences making unsolicited offers to universities to defect from their current homes.

Florida’s Attorney General files lawsuit against the ACC 247SPORTS.COM Florida's state attorney general accuses the ACC of 'wrongfully withholding these important public records' So glad our state is helping FSU in their quest to leave the ACC. That was sarcasm!! Then what? Does this hurt USF and our goal in seeking an invite from the ACC?

Ugh! Two losses now for the TBL in the playoffs. Must win on Thursday.
