Anyone know if they will have food in the club on Sunday?
@John Lewis said they would, and have some lower seats.

The OCS won’t be big enough

Is there going to be a buffet in the club, as with regular season games? Need to know whether to grab a bite beforehand...
Only 1/2 mile from the YC to Zydeco Brews at MOSI.

@John Lewis do WBB stm get in on this deal?

How many suits can the ACC afford? Unless they’re positive they can win. Only thing I know for sure is that a lot of lawyers making a lot of money.

I know there’s an engineer out there that could tell us the difference between the renderings and a solid preslab facade as to what the winds do in the seats in the stadium.

Just curious. What if the strategy was used, and it took an extra few minutes, for a USF game and USF won the UAB game?

Crap foul calls, bad turnovers, and poor interior defense and rebounding cost us the game. Unfortunate result for a squad that could’ve done better.
Maybe if USF controlled 3 of the 4 things you stated the 4th wouldn’t matter.

International student athletes, by law, cannot take advantage of an NIL deal in America. However, they can leave the country and make commercials and such.

I think tickets were more per fan overall this year counting the price for tickets for the later games.
Early morning brain fog. USF made $7 per ticket... Coffee has kicked in.
GO BULLS!

Good article, but I question the $7 number.
$214,795
Our back-of-the-envelope calculation on how much more basketball revenue the Bulls have gained through improved attendance. We get that number by adding last season’s reported figures for ticket sales and novelty/parking/concessions and dividing it by the total attendance. That equals $7 per fan. Multiply that by the overall increase in attendance (30,685 fans), and you get our good-faith guesstimate. -

I don’t disagree with you. Stanford and Cal bring A LOT more money, cache and negotiating power than Cincy and UCF. My concern is that having to travel across country for the other 25 sports teams that are not football, it’s ridiculous. These are supposed to be student athletes and it’s the Olympic athletes that are getting the raw end of this deal and nobody is talking about it. Back to the topic at hand, haha. I think the ACC needs to stay in the east coast OR have separate west coast/east coast divisions, in which if I was the ACC, I wouldn’t add anyone east of the Mississippi and just add the P2/MWC teams (to balance the travel) which would be disastrous for USF.
I think the term "Student Athlete" is going the way of the dinosaur. These are paid employees and should be treated as such. There always has been and always will be an upper class, a middle class, and a lower class.

Looking at the NET there are a couple of things we have control over when it comes to boosting/padding our overall NET rankings year in and year out. Yes, the most important thing is to win all of your games. Those two Q4 losses are really hurting us, but guess what? FAU also has 2 Q4 losses and they're ranked 33rd. Play more Q1 games? We have no control over how other teams are going to perform when it comes to their own rankings - looking at you SMU and FAU. Memphis has barely snuck back into the top 75 rankings, so they are now a Q1 win again. But, we DO have control over the quadrant system handicap - by lowering the threshold for what qualifies for each quadrant - playing away/neutral site games.
This got me thinking, so I went back and looked at true mid-majors who are highly ranked to see how their home/away/neutral splits were and found the following:
#17 Gonzaga - 14 home games, 5 neutral site
#18 St. Mary's - 17 home, 4 neutral
#19 SDSU - 12 home, 3 neutral
#20 Dayton - 14 home, 4 neutral
#33 FAU - 13 home, 7 neutral
#73 USF - 17 home, 1 neutral
Mid-majors who are highly ranked ARE being boosted by how many Q1/Q2 games they are playing - and it could be a direct factor of playing more away/neutral games than we did this year.
Surprised nobody has mentioned this before, but because the NET rankings reward so heavily to "what games have you played", not necessarily "what games have you won", should USF be actively trying to schedule more away and neutral site games? In football, you want as many home games as possible. In basketball, the "ranking" system doesn't reward home game success because the tiers of Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 are skewed so heavily in favor of neutral and road games to boost standings. Unless the entire conference is highly ranked in the NET (B12), as a team who needs to earn their national coverage, I think USF should drop 4-5 home games and play more neutral/road games both in and out of conference (and of course, request home/homes with all highly-ranked conference opponents, not playing at SMU and FAU this season really hurts our potential NET, even if we lost those two games). Now, the conference tournament is a neutral site, so if we beat FAU/SMU - they will count as Q1 wins next weekend. But home games against lower ranked OOC schools should essentially all but be terminated if the NET continues to exist, which sucks for us as fans. IMO, we should trade any OOC home games early in the season for a neutral site tournament invitational or a road trip. What do you all think? Below are the "splits" for Q1/Q2/Q3/Q4 -
- Quadrant 1: Home 1-30, Neutral 1-50, Away 1-75
- Quadrant 2: Home 31-75, Neutral 51-100, Away 76-135
- Quadrant 3: Home 76-160, Neutral 101-200, Away 135-240
- Quadrant 4: Home 161-353, Neutral 201-353, Away 241-353
Charlotte at home, Q3 win. Charlotte away, Q2 win. FAU/SMU at home, Q2 wins. FAU/SMU away, both be Q1 games (FAU Q1 at neutral) as long as they stayed in the top 50 (neutral) and top 75 (road).
It's obviously a flawed system, but since it is defined and objective, VPoAMK should be doing his best to give our guys their best shot at making the tourney every season, and unfortunately that may mean sacrificing home games for us fans.
Agree with this ↑ But until the surprise of this season there was no real reason to schedule anything but teams with a pulse. Nobody expected to have any reason to look ay NET rankings.
Does VPMK schedule OOC games. WBBCF always made it seem like he did the scheduling. I honestly don't know.

VPMK maybe, don’t remember anyone calling for the firing of either one. Some were questioning their capabilities, I certainly was on Coach Amir but pull the post that said we should fire either one of them after the first 6-7 games?
I’m probably wrong on the exact wording. Not worth the effort.

I seem to remember after the first 6 or 7 games of both football and noe MBB most on here thought the coaches and VPMK should all be fired. My how a little winning will change the tones.

Personally have never been to any venue anywhere, sports related, where exiting doesn't take a while. It seems you guys are so used to losing and 2-3k fans that you think there should be more exit lines. PSA - THERE'S NOT.

Jennings
in USF South Florida Bulls Athletics
Posted
The Buccaneers, always on the lookout to bolster their lineup, could find in Jennings an invaluable addition to their interior offensive line. With the draft extending over three exhilarating days, the later stages, often coined as Day 3, become a ground fertile with high-upside potential players.
