Wouldn't he have to sit out a year since this is his second transfer?

Can someone explain to me how UCF keeps showing up in bowl projections for a bowl with that has no tie-ins with the BIG12?

Remember the 340 million is not just for the stadium, so when you see the renderings you have to understand that.  Plus things are more expensive today than ten years ago, so comparing a $250 million stadium from 10 years ago may not be entirely fair.

Thank you!

Is this loan more like a line of credit where you don't pay any interest until you start to use the funds or have we already started paying interest from the day of the closing?  I was in marketing, not finance.

More than likely the capitalized the interest payments during construction into the structure of the bond, basically deferring interest until a revenue stream comes online for it.

Just listened to bulls unlimited this morning and MK said that there will be an update on the OCS at the next BoT meeting the first week of December, which looks like 12/5.

Fsu has renderings. The rays. It's asinine we have absolutely nothing, at this point. I have been in the camp of "who cares they will release them when they're ready" but it's becoming a lot like Jeff Scott not broadcasting the spring game at this point. It's gimmicky and only increases doubt and expectations. 

 

Edit

I'll add that these apparently are things we are NOT getting. So we're not getting any of these club seats or suites, I guess. I guess 340m for bleachers? Absent any communication from the department this is all we as fans can do, is guess, and its self inflicted. 

 

This is from the BOT finance committee meeting in May. It is from the feasibility study. Nothing really new here, it just slides showing what is around at different venues.  You can find it here and scroll down.

Solid get if we can get him on campus. I have a feeling bigger programs may come calling with more NIL money before signing day.

Don't worry, he will be a 3 star soon, now that he committed to us.

Hey all, I was going to buy a ticket to the Green and Gold Gala at the Aquarium on Saturday to join my friends but it is SOLD OUT. Does anyone have an extra ticket or looking to dump one that I could purchase? Thanks. I'm glad there is still enough support for the university that we are selling out stuff like this.

They should be all over Jason Sumrall unless Brian Hartline absolutely crushes an interview 

I think hardline tweeted he was staying at OSU.

I don’t mind this hire. He is supposed to be a rising star according to TDS. We actually took him off cincy’s board. I can only image they are having a meltdown as well. Here’s a fun question. Who in the world does cincy go with now?

Sorry everyone, my sources weren’t as accurate as I thought.

For what it’s worth, I believed you were genuine from the start and appreciated the updates. We all got played. Hope there is 10ft of snow in Colorado.

Back on topic ...

 

These three companies want to build USF’s on-campus football stadium

---

One built Raymond James Stadium and the Trop. Another has built two Super Bowl venues.

 

 

I'm actually impressed we got those quality of companies bidding. Which one do you go with? The one that did all the local stadiums, the one that did Colorado State, or the one that's done a bunch of NFL stadiums? I almost say if you built the trop, you are automatically disqualified lol

@Brad also, is the page gone with all the relevant Twitter feeds? I liked looking at it since I don't really use Twitter.

What section are our fans sitting in?

Are the short sleeve Columbia shirts any good?

Saw they have them online and considering.  Anyone else got one?

If you like Columbia shirts, than yes. The shirt model is called "Tamiami II". They should have it at Dicks Sporting Goods or Bass Pro shop that you can try on before buying to see if you like the fit and material. Very breatheable, I own the USF one and wear the same model for work daily.

If anyone is interested, you can go here, Adidas twitter, and look at multiple new Adidas uniforms for other programs:

I still don't understand why we couldn't have gotten the newer prime A1 kit and got stuck with their old kits. Georgia Tech signed thier contract the same time we did and they got them. The only reason I can think is because they have a traditional look that isn't going to change much in the future and we are hopefully working on a rebrand.

I believe this is what it will look like. Not bad, definitely better than the last one.

Not necessarily.  You don't know what the debt service on the stadium would be.

According to the report, to maintain a debit service coverage of 1.65 we could afford about $100 million in bonds. At 4.5% for 30 years, that's an annual debt service payment of $6.1 million.

"I have the old USF license plate and am not scheduled to renew my license tag within the next 3 months. Can I change to the new USF tag now?

Yes, once the new design is available, it will cost approximately $36.40 per tag to upgrade."

Can't wait!

Here is the website with more information on getting one. Available mid August.

Just a quick FYI, it takes time to create custom jerseys. Due to when the contract was signed with Adidas left us without the necessary time to have custom jerseys for this season, so that is why we have the stock jerseys. Someone posted earlier with the ECU jersey and that was the same situation as we are in right now.

When I read the ECU press release I believe it said it took them 18 months to do the branding and design. Given the same timeline, I would think we would have these non-custom ones for the next two seasons since the contract was just signed.

Also, I was hoping we would get similar effort put into our brand as ECU got this year. Although it looks like they have an agreement to change uniforms every 2 years, and this branding took them 18 months to complete. So I'm guessing we will have to be pretty generic for a couple years. Watch the video in the link below to see how much more attention they got on their uniform vs. ours. Also, after doing more searching it looks like they are getting the new uniform template this year, so it's not just P5 schools getting the new stuff.

"This innovative development is an example of how the multi-year partnership with the sports brand can, and will, further ECU's brand recognition and national exposure."

Did some research on Adidas and it seems like it's not even the newest technology for this year according to this article. Looks like only P5 schools get the new stuff. I kinda agree with the poster above, they look pretty generic. Someone even posted on Twitter how similar they are to a local high school. My issue is, the font, most schools have a certain trademarked reconizable font that matches their branding, and I've never seen this font before.
