who cares. for most of our history, USF has been in a better conference. it's been one year, and the system is about to collapse. There is no more P5. There is P2. we're in the same boat now.

just win games.

Great points. What is funny is that USF is now doing better across the board now which is good. Winning cures all and that is what is happening for USF now imo. 

Thanks! Happy Easter! 

10-2 or better.

And people thought the big 12 was the best hoops conference this season. Welp! Not anymore after all of their teams got eliminated & none even made the Elite 8.

With the rise of streaming and decline of cable, this isn’t as straight forward as it was in the past. 
 

 

Plus Florida recruiting still matters.

Extensions after year 1 for MBB? Isn't he under contract for multiple years still?

Yes but they can always update the contract and make the buyout even higher if all agree. 

Whatever happened to the grave yard that USF had dirt from the big road wins displayed by the Ponderosa?? Think that was moved but not sure where.

Wait. Our AD has ACC connections? 

Tons! Heck MK was the one that got the ACC championship championship game to RJS years ago.

I think he will enter the NBA draft without hiring an agent to see what he would have to work on to maybe be drafted in the future, but the transfer part I don’t really believe. 
 

Grass is not always greener on the other side.

Great point!

We shall see. Nothing can take away from all the work he put in to help turn this USF program around.

The only hang up for us is if the ACC wants western partnered for Cal/Stanford, then OSU/WSU/SDSU become real threats to us. 

They do that then then pretty much only have one Florida school which would be a set back for other schools to recruit in Florida imo. No reason to think that ACC won’t expand more down the road and add western schools. Right now they need to focus on stability and remaining the 3rd best conference in which USF & UConn accomplishes that imo.

Nope not doing it. Not going to get caught up with the hype after the Mike Jenkins thing to the Bucs. I don't believe them anymore.

Would be great though.

Seriously, I’m expecting MVS will be a Buc anyday now. If somehow this doesn’t happen I’m going to be very hangry!!

I second this. It's SDSU moreso than UConn I'd root against if I were y'all. They're more well rounded. If UConn wins it all yes it's great for them, but does it really change who UConn is? They're a known basketball powerhouse that is the current defending champions. Would add another feather to their cap but doesn't change their football weaknesses that have kept them on the bubble but never quite in over the last few realignment cycles. 

USF will more than make up for UConn on the football side of things. ACC brings in UConn to help keep the basketball schools, UL, Duke, WF, ND, others from leaving. USF brings in a strong football program that finally found themselves and is expected to contend for the CFP spot. ACC will be fine.

I’m hyped to finally see more USF Bulls getting drafted this time.

I don’t see SDSU winning it all this year. Not worried. Plus I don’t see the ACC connections there like we are seeing at USF. UConn is more of an alley with USF plus they help stabilize the ACC regarding the tv contract negotiations with the NE market.

I agree with this Syracuse fan.

Absolutely but they cant afford it.  They want to whine and scream to get out of a contract they signed, but FSU had a chance to prove their worth on the field and got demolished by Georgia who had more NFL talent sitting out than FSU. If you want to be the best you have to beat the best and not get murdered on the scoreboard in the biggest game since Crab legs were free in Tallanasty.

 

Exactly! I seeing FSU & Clemson heading to the SEC. The rest of the ACC will be there for both USF & UConn to join imo.

We need more lifers  and winners like him and Jim. It must have been the selling points from @Bull Matrix of the Tampa Cuban and ACC rumors that kept him here. 

That & plus the fishing is pretty good at the west coast of Florida too.

They won't be able to afford the exit fees or break the Big 12 Grant of Rights ... they're in the Big 12 for a while.

Basically it would be like this. 
Hey are you interested in coming to the ACC? - ACC

Heck yeah!! Just say when! Can you help get us out of this mess?? - big 12 Eastern Islanders (UCiF, Cindy. WVWho)

Sorry about your luck, we are going go in another direction and bring in someone with less baggage this go around. Maybe next time! - ACC

So just need to move the school to Texas, multiply the donor dollars by at least 100 and we're in ........ sounds like a plan.

Think we should see a better deal

I think he's done all he can do in the AAC.  If his ambition is to take the next step, he'll have to move on to a better conference which attracts better recruits.  

I do believe USF will probably be moving to the same conference…..  New challenges incoming….

Here is a positive sign.

It would be funny to take WVU in a power play in the next ACC expansion, but I don't think the preppies at UVA enjoy the hillfolk coming to their campus.     

Basically the argument ender to whoever disputes what conference is better between big 12 & ACC. It is the fact that WVU, Cindy, & UCiF would drop the big 12 like a rented mule if the ACC sent them invites. Anyone disputing that are just blowing gas….
