    No one said anyone didn't try to make anything work with Georgia Tech or Clemson. If Clemson wants a game in 2013 and you're full in 2013, it's late in the game to even try to move games to make something happen. Dates have to line up on both ends. Just trying to establish the level of school USF has had conversations with, even if it hasn't resulted in a game on the schedule. And why wouldn't FSU count toward Florida's nonconference schedule? If you win the SEC, you're going to be in good shape from a national title standpoint.

    CBS deal is only for 12 games a year. ESPN platform is 10 times as many if not more ...

    Fernandez (and Woolard) got $10,000 for reaching NCAA Tournament. His next incentive, also $10,000, comes with making the Sweet 16 ...

    Asked who was on the list, and Taggart wants to keep it private. I'm sure it will come out a name or two at a time ...

    Scott came in with very high expectations and fell short. Still, he rushed for 814 yards in his only season. That's most of any running back at USF in the last seven seasons. So if that's guy you point to as Exhibit A for how transfers don't work out, you don't have a good list. It's hit or miss, like any aspect of evaluating players. Same for signees out of high school, draft picks out of college, etc. ...

    You guys do this every time. Tyrone McKenzie was certainly a productive transfer who is now in the NFL. Ryan Schmidt was a productive transfer. Darrell Scott only had one year at USF, but he led the team in rushing, so hard to not consider him productive for that season.

    Toledo is a 12 seed in latest ESPN projection, USF is a 10. Toledo losing shouldn't hurt USF. Even if the selection committee added Toledo as an at-large above USF, you're presuming that USF was the last team in, which seems unlikely. Toledo is 27-3, which is exciting, yes. But Toledo hasn't beaten a top 50 team all year -- they only played one (Dayton) and lost. They have three top 100 wins (USF has seven). Main thing to root for if you're a Bulls fan is for Delaware (RPI 17) and Green Bay (RPI 24) to win their conference tournaments. If either loses, it takes away an at-large bid from the bubble, which slides USF down a spot.

    No intention to change logo at all. And I don't know anyone who calls them "Lady Bulls" publicly. Most newspapers don't acknowledge women's teams any differently than men's teams. There are a few odd ones that linger like "Lady Vols," but not much.

    That maximum compensation part is looking at a scenario where every USF team wins a national championship. Woolard has every incentive that every one of his coaches has. It's more likely that he would get $100,000-$200,000 in total bonuses in a given year, rather than nearly $2-million. Just saying ...

    Comes out at noon. USF has announced all the opponents and venues, just no dates til now ...

    Sometimes I think you guys spell words incorrectly on purpose. How do you get "Skip" wrong? Separate, sure, tricky word. Loser? Comes up a lot, but still wrong a lot. But Skipp?

    This thread is outstanding in its sheer ineptitude. If it were a horse, they'd have shot it.

    Looks like new TV contract will be seven years. Difference between previous TV revenue and new one is about $1.2 million per, best I can tell, so the entrance/exit fee money should be able to cover much of the shortfall ...

    Here's link. Non-coaching staff can recruit by phone, or on campus when athletes are visiting. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/terrapins-insider/wp/2013/02/25/randy-edsall-really-doesnt-like-the-ncaas-new-recruiting-rules/
  15. Greg Auman
    Do you have a link on NCAA allowing more than the nine full-time assistants to recruit off-campus?
  16. Greg Auman
    TV revenues are down from previous contract, but once you add in money from the "reserve fund" -- exit fees, entry fees, etc. -- USF should be able to operate under same budget moving forward. Doesn't look like anything that would prompt dissolving any sports or making any substantial cuts to staff.
  17. Greg Auman
    Media/pay site screwed the pooch? So when Taggart says publicly how excited he is to have kept Scott on his staff, when McGillis talks about it being Taggart's best recruiting job in the month of February to keep Scott on staff when two elite programs wanted him, we're supposed to leave that alone and not write anything, knowing that Scott could change his mind and leave? C'mon now ...

    They don't need to win out. Three out of four and a loss to UConn might do it -- that'd be 10-6 in Big East ...
  19. Greg Auman
    Even "per" is wrong! This is where, technically, misspelled attribution is better than no attribution ...

    Swanson was on campus today. Still no commitment, but he should have test scores from the weekend in next day or two ...
  21. Greg Auman
    Remember, Big East lawyers have to get paid first. That $70 million is hardly a net total.
  22. Greg Auman
    It's not a violation and UCF didn't announce anything.

    USF is 11th in the Big East in RPI. That has to improve. Computers don't know what to do with Bulls -- RPI has them at 68, Sagarin has them at 37. Winning Wednesday is a huge step -- quality win that would put them ahead of a fellow bubble team. If you count Seton Hall as a gimme win and UConn as a logical loss, that would put USF at 17-7 with the other five games all against top 60 opponents. If Bulls take three of those five, they'd be 20-9 and 9-7 in conference entering Big East tournament -- hold seed there, and they'd have a good chance at getting in.

    No problems with the skip-step today. Just depends on the umpire though ...
  25. Greg Auman
    The guy who posted on BCP is same one who first mentioned Antonio Andrews -- he's known Taggart since childhood and has a nephew who signed with him at WKU. Doesn't mean it's going to happen, but he's more well-connected than just any poster ...
