Cormani is a bit of a headcase. Haven't spoken to a single person who thinks he'd be a good fit at USF. Granted, maybe he has changed over the last year being a Colorado? 

He hasn't changed. In a week he's gone from, reportedly, just USF and USC. Today it's USF ucf, and Memphis.

Well AD MK better use his ACC connections after the ACC gets about  hundreds of millions times two in buyout money. 

I seriously doubt that any team added after FSU & Clemson would get a penny of the buyout money.

I did and there was no mention I saw of more renderings coming 

My bad. It was in the $6mil announcement.

We had a good QB coach one year. Sean King improved QF’s noticeably the one year he worked with him. Next year one of the many idiotic moves was to move SK from QB to RB coach. You could see the drop off in his mechanics.

If this is the 'detailed' renderings promised in April...then this is a let down. How is there no hype video? Every new stadium has a hype video.

Didn't actually read the article did you?

Well then, for the spring game 2027 maybe one might be able to make a donation for a hard hat tour or sneak preview inside??

Yea, I have no doubt there will be many opportunities to give money in some fashion.

Is there any possibility that the spring game 2027 is in the OCS?  I think that would be very cool for everyone's first look at the new stadium.

In an update to the USF Board of Trustees, the university confirmed that the stadium is scheduled to open in fall 2027.

Did she build an ocs or hire a coach as good or better than Leavitt?

Nope. And no one ahead of her did. Just like no one ahead of her accomplished these athletic endeavors:

Corbett Stadium opened in 2011

The shared baseball and softball complex opened in 2011

The track was remodeled in 2008 to include a new state-of-the-art Mondo surface. It is the same surface used at the Olympic Games and is considered the fastest, safest and most durable track surface in the world.

The 55,000 square foot Yuengling Center facility, which includes a 10,500-seat basketball arena and the adjacent volleyball arena (the Corral), has seen over $43 million in renovations since 2000, including replacement of the original Teflon inflatable roof with a permanent structure, and numerous interior upgrades and improvements.

The $4 million Frank Morsani Football Practice Complex opened in 2011 and features three full size fields, two made of natural grass and one made of artificial FieldTurf, plus an additional 40-yard turf area for drills.

Opened in 2004, the Lee Roy Selmon Athletic Center is the main hub for USF Athletics.

The basketball practice center opened in 2011 as a two-story, 51,000 square foot facility that provides both the USF men's and women's basketball teams with their own practice courts overlooked by the coaches' office, locker rooms, offices, film rooms, and player lounges, plus offering a shared training room and strength and conditioning facilities. The facility also has: conference rooms, a 4,100 square foot multi purpose area, and an underground tunnel with direct access to the Yuengling Center.

We can't change back time, but her leadership is why we neglected  athletics and were sent back down to the kids table in the aac. She fired the godfather of usf football,  neglected investing in athletics, and didn't hire any coach that would win at a rate near and punch up at power programs like Leavitt.

In 2003, under Judy Genshafts leadership USF ADMITTED TO BIG EAST CONFERENCE

From 2005...

Just six months after USF moved into its $18-million athletic facility, athletic director Doug Woolard outlined a vision for the Bulls' future Tuesday, one that includes new and upgraded stadiums and fields for nearly every sport.

Just how much it will cost and how soon it could become reality remain to be seen.

Makes me wonder now if we start seeing more games added to the schedules. Schools are going to want to have the players in more games imo. 

ASSUMING  the schools don’t start actually paying athletes there’s no reason to add games. Some schools already get the extra playoff money.

Cyber security and AI are supposed to be the careers of the near future. I’ll throw a couple more out there, SPORTS ACCOUNTING. Would probably require CPA. And a law degree in sports contracts. I’m talking at the high school and college levels.

All the more reason to extend eligibility in the NCAA. They could cut into profits of both the NFL and NBA.

Not without some reins on the NIL. It’s ridiculous that a college freshman can get more money than a professional. I said “get” not earn.

Is Selton eligible for NIL $?  He's an international student, correct?  I thought they couldn't participate in NIL?  Maybe that changed. 

He can go anywhere in the world except the USA and collect.

Simply handing money over to an NIL is like buying a high priced hooker. You might get an hours worth of pleasure, but that money is gone. I would set up an endowed fund that would pay in perpetuity, or until whatever new scheme they come along with, then have it roll over to that. Worst case scenario, I think, would be to have it roll in to the general athletic fund.

Porta pottys are definitely cheaper because those restrooms would get trashed before and after every game.  Think about drunk opposing fan behavior....no one should have to clean that up...

Just sayin'

Assuming the NFL talk is legit, why would any conference entertain expansion now?
