  1. There is still approximately 12 Million in outstanding donation oppourtunities for other parts of the stadium. See link. It is listed on page 10. With that 12 million filled, that only leaves 18 million. Also, the stadium is only 47 million. The additonal 13 million was added in for moving baseball, soccer fields and roadways, etc. Bottom line is that UCF will have the stadium paid off very quickly if they continue to exceed ticket sale projections and estimates in the feasability study.
  2. No, and no, and the other is illegal.  The top 5 programs don't do this because most of what you are suggesting is illegal, and simply voluntary.  Kids would just opt for schools that didn't require it. You can do criminal background checks on your football players, but you would have to do it for ALL students at the University. It would be too costly for a University to do background checks on all students.
  3. Congrats from a Knight. You have a great looking family there.
  4. That is an interesting train of thought. I would post more, but this is the respectable board and not the smack board.
  5. Bueller?? I am curious myself. How is recruiting going for USF so far this year? UCF is rumored (by GOL) to have at least 7 commits so far. 5 of which have been confirmed by rivals to date. This is obviously a great start for us this year. Is USF sharing in similar success?
  6. http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/sports/4001357.html Here is the article.
  7. I question, along with most on this board, the need for smazza.
  8. Actually it is being rumored that it will be close to $20 million that he COULD make over the 10 years with added incentives, etc. Sounds like the base will be 10 years/10 Million.
  9. Yeah, I don't think MAV wanted the fans at the University of San Fransico to know we were talking about them...
  10. LOL. I love how they black out the name on the front page but then leave the teachers comments at the end that say "Mr. Freeman". Wow. That is the future youth of our country, God help us all. **** that was funny though.
  11. Did Stirrups end up qualifying? You guys should be ok at the DL this year even without Harry. That is very odd to leave suddenly because he was home sick.
  12. Does anyone know what the record is for the length of a thread? This seems close.
  13. LOL. This thread is great. I sure hope the MODS keep it so it can be re-read 10 years from now.
  14. You do not think that USF will need to ask for more than 5,000 tickets??? If USF doesn't bring at least 8-10K, you all should really start looking at increasing your fan base. It isn't about "rivalry", it is about seeing your team play. If UCF played ANY team within a 2 hour drive I would be there.
  15. Oh, now this non-rivalry thread is at 11 pages...let's see if everyone can rehash the same arguements over and over again until next years football game. Lets make it 50 pages! ;D
  16. Seems to be a rivialry for some.... and not for others. I personally think that it has developed into the start of a rivalry. If the game sells well this year and the series is continued, it will pretty much be sold as a rivalry from here on out, especially if UCF wins this year. It is not about "Football Rivalry" it is about an all sports, school rivalry. These schools have been "rivals" for 20 years. Football is a new addition.
  17. The way I read this post, it seems as if MOST of the USF fans agree with the UCF fans that this really is or could be developing into a rivalry and is a good thing. Especially for attendence. Just because UCF and USF have only played 1 game in football doesn't mean that the schools do not already have a rivalry. As mentioned above, they have played each other in sports for years, were both founded at about the same time, and compete for students every year. With the attendance showing last year in Tampa and IF there is a large showing in Orlando, it would be STUPID of the administrations not to continue the game. Leavitt himself said if the attendance is there it is a good idea. Follow your leader....
  18. You may very well be right Joe, but the last NCAA legislation update I read said that a team must have a "winning season" to be eligible. The 2002 and 2003 seasons (12 game) there was temporary legislation that said 6-6 record was was ok, but that legislation expired. Do you have an NCAA link for the legislation? Thanks.
  19. I believe it does KB. 7 wins to get to a bowl. There was talk of changing it to 6 but I do not think it went through yet.
  20. They will have losses to Virginia, Mich St and UCF for OOC. ;D
  21. I would agree with you smazza. It is simply due to USf's missed/rescheduled games. USF wins 2 of the next 3 and they should be getting some serious top 25 votes. Now is UCF beats Rice and then UTEP in the CUSA Championship, UCF will also be recieving serious votes. Both teams could end up ranked in top 25 at the end of the season if all plays out right.
  22. USF will not score 30 points. Not unless UCF has a few turnovers and USF D scores. The game will hover around 20-23 points for both sides.
  23. See that was written on April Fools of 1980. It was just a big joke.
