We need to see how the PAC adds after this but with four left, they must expand. if they go something like this WEST: Washington State,Oregon State, Cal, Stanford, SDSU, Colorado State, Air Force EAST: SMU, Rice, Memphis, Tulane, USF, Navy/ Wichita State, UAB that would be attractive, limit travel west and still put the league as top 5, an improvement on where we are.

There will be TWO Mega conferences SEC and BigTen. They will have all the big name schools. The Big12 will be third but they will be made up of everyone the big2 didn’t want. USF will end up in a similar league closer toBig12

Both will be depleted and will have to add AAC and MWC schools. It all depends on the timing. If the PAC is down to four Oregon State,Washington State,Stanford and California they will have to add schools and most likely also form an eastern wing from AAC schools. If they can get 12-15 million for a 12-14 league, that’s twice what we currently make, gets us in a league with Stanford and California good academics and if they make an eastern wing we would be mostly traveling to AAC schools. Wecant be waiting for something down the road.

Well that leaves FSU and Clemson as the last two big gets outside of BigTen and SEC. I’m not counting Notre Dame. So that P2 split could be coming sooner than most of us thought. So it looks like for USF it might be a depleted ACC or PAC. Most likely the first. But it depends on who would be left there if FSU and Clemson leave.

At this point if the PAC blows up with only OSU and WSU are left. One of best move for those left over is a best of MWC/AAC league. WEST: Oregon St,Washington State,Boise,Fresno,SDSU,Air Force, Colorado St EAST: SMU,UTSA,Tulane,Memphis,USF,ECU,Navy/Wichita St You could do a mix ESPN/ Apple deal there for close to 15 million Would be better deal unless ACC comes calling if only FSU/ Clemson left.

Eventually money will dry out except for the SEC and BigTen the rest will get less but be in big national conferences. Only a matter of time before football gets separated from other sports for those outside of the P2

In that scenario they would get some extra money from BigTen for their away Conference games which would now be covered by BigTen contract. Look I don’t have all the answers,nor am I saying that’s what’s happening. I’m just proposing a possible reason for it. We know FSU/ Clemson want out. This would be a way for all to get something out of it. FSU/ Clemson get into BigTen. Get the ESPN money plus a bit more from BigTen contract for their away conference games on BT networks. ACC gets the exit fees, which I’m sure will be high. Gets them to guarantee them playing 1-2 games a year till 2036 vs them. Gets their TV contract as is and with the addition of two more schools. Same amount from ESPN. Those two schools might take less so more for remaining schools. ESPN for 60 million gets FSU/ Clemson home games till 2036 and thus gets 4 games each vs BigTen schools. Getting back into BT without a huge expense. It would had cost them way more than 60 a million to get BT piece plus no guarantee it would had been a big name.

Two things. First off it gets them into BigTen content with two big names at a lower cost than what they would have to pay BigTen, because they weren’t paying BigTen 60 million it was much more and they would likely be getting Indiana vs Purdue instead. Im going to say they will guarantee the ACC same amount no loss of money would make them more likely to go along. Finally don’t be surprised if FSU and Clemson have to play at least one game a year vs ACC till 2036. Guess who covers that game ESPN The talk is Oregon/ Washington and FSU/ Clemson to BigTen

Keep those fingers crossed and candles lit that if FSU and Clemson exit ACC, the Bulls slide in

I think ESPN is behind it once again. Since they have the ACC schools GOR until 2036. They can technically keep FSU home games rights if they go BigTen. So they are in a way buying themselves into BigTen content they didn’t have. Now they will probably have to add two replacements and still pay ACC same contract amount they were with FSU and Clemson.

We have no idea on coaches nor players since so many are new. So it will be a huge question mark until we see them on the field. Im hoping to see better play specially defensively and that we pull out a win. But that just me, I expect to win every games, that’s why the last three years have been horrific

It will be interesting to see how it works. This could be a way that ESPN gets access to BigTen games since they own the rights to FSU and Clemson home games until 2036. If as you said ACC sold those rights to ESPN. ESPN would then have to not penalize the ACC contract for FSU and Clemson moving. Thus FSU and Clemson would just be paying exit fees to ACC since they wouldn’t be breaking GOR and the conference isn’t losing any tv money. Question is, would ACC then add at least two to replace them. This could be interesting for the Bulls

We have many positives and have won in past. But let’s be realistic we are horrible in football and basketball lately, for a conference like the B12 or PAC that is reeling and needs names that will bolster the way people look at it, adding USF at 1-11 and with 4 wins in last three years would be a PR nightmare. We need to win this year, so we at least have the semblance that we are on our way up

I was painting the worst scenario for the PAC losing Washington,Oregon,Utah and the Arizona schools. Even with that outlook if invited as I showed USF would be stupid to turn down.

USF can’t be choosy at this point even a depleted PAC would have better known schools academically and athletically and have better pay outs. So even a PAC with West: Oregon State, Washington State, Cal, Stanford, SDSU, UNLV East: Colorado State, SMU, Rice,Tulane,Memphis,USF Would be a Yes in my book. If the ACC eventually loses FSU, Miami, Clemson etc. we could end up in some mixture of the two. But in both cases it would be better than where we are now or would be if more AAC schools were raided and we stayed waiting for ACC implosion.

I think the two kids from Edison Chenellson Exume OL and brother Dinellson Exume DL are supposed to commit tomorrow also

True. But if they fill up with PAC schools there is less likely they could add ACC schools when those moves happen.

That moves changes nothing for both leagues. Now if they were adding Oregon and Washington those would be huge moves.

College Hoops also reported that USF will play Loyola Chicago in Thanksgiving Tournament in Atlanta. Dates and times to be announced

Defense will decide how far we go in 2023. USF will face three of the top 10 returning QBs in passing yards, including the #1 WKU QB

Hoping for a full and fast recovery

Victoria Blasigh incoming freshmen averaged 20.3 pts per game playing for Italy in the FIBA U19 World Cup. Third leading scorer in Tournament. Her team has been eliminated after 4 games Carla Brito playing for Spain is avg 12.8 pts and 5.3 RBs in 4 games. Spain is undefeated after 4 games and is playing in the Quarterfinals

I like the defensive players he is signing so far. Reminds me of Schellenberger when he started at UM. Fast, hard hitting kids that were a bit undersized to the big names schools but that were being pursued by the middle rung schools from big conferences.

Plan to be at UAB since that’s closer than home games for me now
