I agree with the previous comments - Strong has lost this team.

why are our uniforms always just all green?  no love for gold.  why not gold pants?  or at least a gold stripe or something.

Feel the same but then again last few years i've only watched USF games anyways. Knew this crap would happen with the P5 shift... I hate it.

+1 to both comments, unfortunately

Chicago on the map

Anyone know of a place to buy the helmets with the usf logo that looks like an American flag?

 

Dougie not so Fresh is off the books this year as well.

 

We will be paying FOR dogie for the next 20 years at least!

 

I'd be curious to hear the thoughts from our new AD about how he plans to use the cleared up capital - beyond the obvious of paying our current head football coach's buy out.

 

Probably to make up for our negative income while operating a failure of a football team.

spoiler alert:  FSU will cover

Well, would you look at this?  A real, well thought out discussion of an issue without all the name calling that accompanies most threads on this Board.  Maybe there is hope after all.

You're dumb.  I hate you.  Your mom is ugly.  OCS now!

it doesn't matter how they perform against the have-nots; they're still going to get a ton of money from their contracts.  you guys need to stop worrying about how we do against those teams because we're still going to be left out.  none of those guys are going to be embarrassed after a loss when they hug their huge piles of cash.

the pics for items aren't loading for me online.  anyone having a similar problem?  i don't live in the area, so i can't stop in.

FYI - the bookstore is the only place I've found to have the legit correct colors.  other retailers in the area have similar ones that have slightly different coloring.

authentic replicas (not suitable for game use) are around 140 and available int he bookstore.  i believe they have the gold ones and the white ones at full size.  if you're looking for a game-used helmet, then the only way you'll find it is ebay.  i have a few replicas and a game used one and that's the only way i was able to obtain them.

wtf

$500k is pennies for the Big 10.  They make millions per year each just from tv, let alone tickets and merchandise.

 

The IRS should go after it.  Additionally, now they'll have to pay union dues.  This falls into that, "Be careful what you wish for..." category.

 

 

apis- i see you are a problem identifier not a problem solver

 

they should go after an under educated kid that is already being exploited!    makes no sense

 

and let cliven bundy keep stealing 

 

if kids were paid fair market value there would be no problem

 

I'm sure most would agree that SOMETHING has to be done, but just not so sure unionization is the best way to go about this.  I'm not a tax expert so I don't know of any other ways to make sure their compensation is fair and taxable.

to be honest, the worst consequence of this would be if a team went on strike right before a game.  who is to say this couldn't/wouldn't happen if they were unionized?

we can barely get people to come when tickets are $5.  we have much larger problems.

 

Future hinges on hiring of new AD

http://tbo.com/sports/colleges/usf-bulls/bulls-beat-future-hinges-on-hiring-of-new-ad-20140122/

Excerpt:

"The new AD must have the creativity and vision to address USF’s needs for an on-campus football stadium. Anyone who attended the USF-UCF contest in November saw how much that added to the atmosphere.

USF is fortunate to have Raymond James Stadium. But it isn’t a true home. The next game-changer is a 40,000-seat stadium that would invigorate the football program – and the campus."

An invite to a P5 conference Is much more important than an on campus stadium. The new hire could have insight or pull to get USF into a P5 conference. I would take P5 over on campus stadium all day long.

 

why not both?

I hope you're right, but we do say the same thing every year.

sadly i must recommend that you each mortgage your house and go all in on UCF covering - think about it... they're hot this year, we're garbage, and this is their superbowl.  this is the most important and biggest game of their lives.  they've never been more excited about a game in the history of their program.  Trust me, they're going to cover.

hopefully they just get their program shut down.  it's worth a wish.

last time i checked, if they're wearing a USF shirt and/or buying a game ticket then they aren't doing that for another team.  like it or not, we benefit from those fans.
