Has the WAC ceased operations? The sun-belt is the eastern WAC.

"Big East says San Diego State prefers it to Mountain West"

Reports: SDSU considering MWC vs. Big East, decision by "end of the month"
-
It isn't ALL doom and gloom... but it sure feels like it.
-
For the love of God, make "It" stop!!!
Very punny
-
sorry but south tampa people that are influential don't send their kids to plant.
That is pure unadulterated BS. There are people that live in flippin' Avila that send their kids to Plant. You know a lot of stuff, this is not one of them. I'm often in South Tampa, and 99.9% of the collegiate plates are UF or FSU. Plant's parking lot is filled with cars that I may never be able to afford.

I bet the Glazers made a call to the Harbour Island Mafia
-
Let the South Tampa paid him conspiracies begin...
-
Maybe this is for the best... he could have hated the job and left in a year. Now, maybe he can put in a good word for Willie and USF and send us a recruit or two without being on the payroll.

LOL really? Is he going to the mountain west conference?

There is an article in the WSJ this morning about the value, in millions, of major-conference college-football programs.
USF was ranked at number 53 with a value of $101.2. I was shocked to see that we beat out some other football programs with a lot more history and success. As a comparison, UCF is ranked number 65 with a value of $57.0
Perhaps the Gods to be at the ACC or B12 will read this and see how valuable we are
I think we beat out everyone else that is currently in the BE, Connecticut was ranked 52 with a value of 101.8.
Interesting find.
The chart in the link you provided has us at 53 and UConn at 52. Was there another link somewhere in the article. I don't UCF ranked at all on the chart. It looks like Pittsburgh is number 65, not UCF. According to the article, these rankings are for the 2011-12 season. With that in mind, it wouldn't have taken into account our 3-9 record this year and conference mess, so we probably dropped.
---------
The chart just shows a ranking of selectively chosen universities. Not all of them in order.
The interactive chart you are linked to if for 2011 evaluations. The one in the first link is for 2012. The value represents what the price of the program would be to a buyer.

Imagine if the top 14 schools formed their own [big Money] conference:
Big Ten/12/Independent Division
Michigan
Nebraska
Penn State
Ohio State
Notre Dame
Oklahoma
Texas
SEC Division
Tennessee
Florida
Arkansas
Georgia
Alabama
LSU
Auburn

This bowl, coupled with the other BCS games, are snoozers
-
Oregon would have been a better game than ND.Name a team outside sec that had a shot of beating alabama? I can think of any. -
He'll be a plague to any team
-
Bama clearly has the better team [in the first half].
-
What does the bowl structure look like once the play offs start? Will there still be the BCS bowls or will those now be play off game?
-
As I recall, the "girls of UTEP" thread from 2011 was quite nice.
This would be the ONLY reason to take UTEP, imo. It was indeed quite nice.
Given the options, that is as good a reason as any.
I guess this means Ball State is out of the question...
-
I'll take whatever gets us to 12 wins
-
OUCH!

“What Boise State wanted was outrageous and unprecedented. It was not palatable to any of the other Big East institutions,†Gladchuk said. “In the final analysis, Boise wasn’t worth it. There is zero television interest in Boise along the Eastern seaboard. What it tells me is the Mountain West was desperate. Clearly, the Mountain West was willing to make whatever concessions necessary to keep Boise in the fold.â€

I'm looking for the most bang for my buck
-
Should I join a alumni Association, contribute money to the general university fund, contribute money to my department, etc... What can I do that will give the most help/support to the university?
Thoughts?
-
34 players from Fla.
Imagine if we hired Strong....
-
We should allow teams to keep 100% of the bowl game payout. That is really the only "outside the box" thing I could think of.
As for the TV deal, what do you think those negotiations are like when teams are going and coming to the conference?
-
They can hit all they want. 14-0 Louisville.
If UL was in the MWC, would we cheer for them if we knew they were getting 50% of the payout?

Can't imagine anything earth shattering will come from the meeting.
Pesonally, I have no problem adding any of the following:
ARKANSAS ST.
UTAH ST.
NORTHERN ILLINOIS
BALL ST.
SAN JOSE ST.
KENT ST.
TULSA
They're not great in name. But their performance over the past couple of years has been good (albeit in weaker conferences). TV market wise... meh.

Do you think they could come out with a new revenue sharing plan to attract [or maintain] teams? I'm not talking about the really sweet deal that Boise/MWC did, but maybe something that would sweeten the pot?
