  1. Are you coming to the game also? Let me know when you get into town and we can grab a beer.
  2. My crew just got to Raleigh and are checked into our hotel. Just seeing if any other bulls got here early and if they are going out anywhere tonight if so. Gonna represent! #US2F
  3. Me and my crew of five will be there! We just rolled in tonight and will stay only in Bulls gear until gameday!
  4. Just got off the phone with my friend. Our AD is a machine. If the B12 stays together, here is what we will hopefully be singing to WVU soon:
  5. I was the first to report when we ditched Skip Holtz in 2012, Harlan leaving for Utah and Coach Jeff Scott coming to USF. Sometimes deals fall through. There has always been smoke in what I’ve heard. This one the smoke is almost fire though . it looks good to be a bull right now!
  6. 1. He did not provide a timeline. So I’m not sure. 2. The usual suspects the media is reporting (BYU, Houston, central) are out there, but have deal killers for one reason or another. But the other front runner along with USF is Cincinnati, former Big East partner. 3. Yes, I have some other things, but definitely can’t share them on a forum open to the public. If there is a private forum for USF fans only, I can expand a bit there.
  7. If I could post this on a private forum for us, I would. There is a lot I’m leaving out because this is public and anyone can read it.
  8. Hey all, I just got back from talking to my friend who works in Athletics (we do early morning runs sometimes). According to him, there has been a ton of behind the scenes activity in USF athletics and moving to the Big 12. He was working till late last night on communications and proposals and apparently AD Kelly has been working the phone, his CFP connections, and every other avenue for the past two days. The big thing is it looks like USF is likely to have a home in the Big 12. However, AD Kelly is working very hard to keep this under wraps and out of the media so we don’t get undermined by some of our competitions. A couple interesting notes: - WVU is the driving force behind USF joining the B12. Based on our rivalry and past games, WVU started reaching out and lobbying the other Big 12 schools last night after their meeting. - USF’s status as being in a BCS conference before and being able to be ranked #2 in the nation is carrying a ton of weight with the other schools. - USF is prepared to offer a deal where they will accept no revenue from the Big 12 for the first two years as provisional members. After two years, if USF can prove their worth through increased attendance and performance, they will get full membership. These are two of our weak spots and they think offering to forego revenue for two years will “sweeten the pot.” The excitement in the air is palpable, with one old timer comparing the feeling to what was going around in 2005! He also gave me a couple other really interesting tidbits, but I can’t post them here on a public forum, these are things that can’t get out to the “competition.” Go Bulls!
  9. He was never turned down by the BOT, it did not get to the BOT. That was supposed to happen this week but was scrapped when Scott came back in the picture. The group against Levitt was claiming that he would have been turned down by the BOT when it came up. That is probably where that rumor came from.
  10. I hope Scott doesn’t fall through again. Apparently plan B is gone, the relationship between Leavitt and the current admin is now nuked beyond repair. Lots of hurt feelings right now, many people over there think it was wrong how they treated him. A quote I got from my friend: “the shadow of Judy looms large.”
  11. and this board wonders why nobody ever posts inside info on here...
  12. I just got off the phone with my friend to ask what happened. Like I said, things change. There was interest in Scott since last week, but by Thursday it was clear we were being slow walked. Leavitt was already clearly interested so USF put some feelers out and everything started to come together. By mid-day Saturday, after some meetings and phone calls it was looking like it would happen. A meeting with the trustee was planned for early this week and Leavitt would come in to negotiate mid this week. Around Saturday evening, Scott’s agent again reaches out to MK and things started to move fast again. There are some hurt feelings and they are trying to find a way to have CJL involved in the program, but nobody expects it to work out. Not sure what the deal is with Scott falling off and then popping up.
  13. I think I’m pretty clear that I am only relaying info I get from friends who still work for USF. I think it’s pretty clear these are just rumors things can change. Sometimes what I hear happens, sometimes it doesn’t (but it does more than not). Heck, CJL can still not be coach, things can change, someone can get involved. I get a lot more info that I dont post. I lurk a lot but rarely post info because some people here are crazy suspicious and negative whenever I post.
  14. Just talked to a couple friends in admin. Nothing official yet, so things can change. But if negotiations go ok and everyone is onboard, we can expect the return of CJL.
