Mike, you imbecile, what's the biggest difference in those scenarios and ours? Those 4 schools affected the majority of college sports fans/graduates in their respective states at the time those "deals" were done ... Relatively speaking, nobody gives a **** about this but the 407 area code. The Guv probably can't keep who is who himself ... This coming from someone who's school in the much larger Tampa Bay Area is virtually invisible? Here is USF's "announced" average attendance in basketball this year: 3,307 (most agree the actual crowds are just a fraction of that number) Plus, your BCS Football team can't even fill up half their seats in their own 65,000 seat plus stadium. Actual USF Home Football Attendance in 2010 as noted by the St Pete Times: Stony Brook: 32,870 Western Kentucky: 29,939 FAU: 28,946 Syracuse: 30,344 Rutgers: 25,755 Pitt: 30,999 UCONN: 30,815 You moron, that doesn't negate the point I was making .... Hell, it probably reinforces it.
