That’s dependent on FSU leaving ACC, which is very likely

Well that’s likely to happen. But on the good side, because our location and market, USF would be a likely target. Now we need to do our part and win to get us more attractive and increase our value.

Utah went reluctantly to the Big12, they didn’t want to be in a league with BYU and are more academically inclined than most B12 schools. They got a deal in joining B12 in which supposedly made it easier for them to leave. So not surprised to see them mentioned. They are probably main ACC target from B12 schools.

That P2 expansion should had been done while they still had an automatic CFP spot. Probably to late now. The current tv contract the P2 has with ace etc is reported to be around 6-8 million. Not much different than what USF gets currently from AAC. The P2 gets 3.6 million per year from CFP, USF and ACC will het 1.8 million. I don’t think the difference in payouts to CFP access as is currently is enough to get USF to move. So for the P2 expansion to be successful they must at least get a tv contract in the 10-15 million range. Anything lower than that would mean the league has to get better CFP access or payments.

I hope he pulls thru. Horrible news for the family.

Ta’Ron Keith has it

No they don’t. Those % remain until the three year look in period, so how the ACC does during that tie and any teams they lose or add would determine that. Now of on the next three years those two are still there and gather all the ACC slots, then yes that would hurt. So it may be good for ACC to come to a deal have them exit, so the ACC slots in those three years are accumulated by those remaining. I think an agreement on exit fees will eventually come to term for both sides, but not before February 2025 or earlier if ESPN agrees on extending deal. Don’t think there is any settlement until ESPN moves on that.

Interesting comment from the ACC Commissioner, that the CFP conference money percentage was based on conference CFP participation and that it has a look in period in three years to adjust those %. For USF making the CFP during that period is prime goal, because our addition would help a conference’s %

The fact that we are 25-27 and needing to win a series vs UAB to finish 8th in an 11 team league and qualify for playoffs. It’s just another reminder of how low this program is now. I love USF and cheer for all sports, but honestly, does it really matter if we win this series? Is time to end this nightmare and close the book. Time for a new start.

Would be. But I think our expectations should always be the CFP.

The first 6 games will tell us a lot, if we are to have a real shot at CFP we must be no worse than 4-2 and that would mean with split the four games of: @Alabama, Miami, @Tulane, Memphis

Yes but unfortunately as we saw last year a 13-0 Liberty with a fluff schedule got picked over an SMU team with losses but tougher schedule.

As long as the highest G5 champ gets a playoff spot, I don’t mind that ranking. If they lose that then it really doesn’t matter.

We really need a huge year in 2024-25 season. Football make CFP and basketball in NCAA Tournament would be huge.

Ugh. Liberty plays no one again this year. Hopefully voters remember what happened in Bowl game. Their out of conference is Campbell, ECU, at App State, at UMass

CFN predicts USF to go 8-4 (6-2) in Conference Losses to Alabama, Miami, Tulane and Rice? win vs Memphis

Looks like we added a RB from Bowling Green, originally from Deland Fl Ta’Ron Keith 5’10 190 last year 66 carries 390 yds 5.9 avg, 44 catches 457 yds

Not saying a playoff. I don’t think they should agree to that at all. I’m saying if there was enough money for let’s say the top two G5 champs to play for that CFP spot. Then maybe that would fly. But I don’t see enough money to make that worthwhile.

I don’t see a G5 playoffs having any legs now. I could see a G5 poll since the top champion gets the playoff spot. I could also see depending on the dates for the CFP. A televised G5 Champions game that would lead winner into CFP if there is enough revenue to make it worthwhile

But ND does want ACC to survive if it wants to stay independent and keep all sports in ACC. It’s no surprise that the ACC added Cal, Stanford and SMU, three schools that ND would be comfortable with. Could ND make a similar deal with Big12? Probably but ND has always wanted to stay on a league with NorthEast presence were a lot of Catholics are in. I agree that USF to ACC is a no go until FSU exits. And I think is only a matter of time before FSU and Clemson exit the league. The next and bigger question is can the ACC keep their deal so no one bails to Big12. If they can manage that they will survive and become more of a league with more of an academic style league. Watch Utah, wouldn’t be surprised if the ACC can pull them from Big12 in future. The Big12 people feel secure that they will be doing the raiding, I’m not so sure of that.

Rinse and Repeat

Don’t worry is a midweek game. Oh sorry is not Dont worry is only game 1. Oh sorry is not Dont worry it was vs a good team? No it wasn’t Dont worry we still have a winning conference record. Oh sorry we dont Dont worry we are still in top of conference. Oh no we are not Dont worry we still have a winning record. For how long. Im so tired of the old tired excuses. He is a nice guy but not the right guy for the job.

Unless changes happens, we will be reciting same line next season.
