Smazza is 100 percent correct. MK and the USF prez should be burning up phone lines and getting on planes trying to get USF into the Pac4.
Remember when the Big East was down to 3 members, Cincinnati, USF, and UConn and only had one year of a BCS auto bid left. The Big East was still able to lure plenty of CUSA teams in.
Same deal. The Pac 4 still has autonomous status, auto bowl bids, etc. USF can make the PAC a temporary home until ACC calls, if they call. The time is now. If USF doesn't accept then you can bet everything that SMU, Tulane, and Memphis will accept. Do you want to be left in AAC with Charlotte, Sam Houston State, Louisiana Tech, and whoever else the AAC brings in? Because that's what would happen.
