    The lawyer knew that other lawyers were going to scare leaders into canceling football.  I am stunned.

    imagine your university having an unpaid college athlete with some underlying, undiagnosed heart valve condition that's amplified by a covid complication and he succumbs.

    do you want to be on that board, sorting through the litany of pr mudslinging and litigation to follow?

    plus the vitriol you can expect today's student body to dish out?

    hard pass. if you're schools the unfortunate 'chosen one', it could literally ruin your program, or certainly tarnish it for foreseeable future.

    their longterm risk tolerance as a conference was weighed against shorterm revenue loss and the decision was made.

    Thanks Trips I know exactly where that is, I assume it was in one of those shopping centers, I was a regular at Beef o Brady’s on Fowler, for a 7 mos lease I lived about 100 yards from that place on the same side of the street, used to hit Cooper top across the street as well for a few years.

    copper top. correct the record, that was the spot. bomb wings. shame they shuttered, place was a 'college town' hold-out in the Fowler franchise apocalypse.

    "Marks earned a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences degree in Communications from the University of South Florida."

    Surprised there's not more fanfare from Athletics around Anita as an esteemed alum. She has a weekly midday Sat/Sun live show on the largest ESPN Radio network, with national syndication, and often gets cover duty during week, along with latenight slots.

    Heard her rep USF on air live just today.

    Am i shocked by the lack of coverage or regard by USF marketing? Not at all.

    Gold standard for success in a male dominated sports media industry, or otherwise really.

  4. haven't posted in a while. university area is largely abysmal and truly a blight for students. as someone nearly a decade removed and making annual trips to st pete and DT, the lack of development around USF is a shame. how no one has leveraged the pool of student capital to build up a thriving local economy continues to irk me.

    oh well, florida'd.

  5. betting on myself. i'm considering appealing to ncaa for eligibility reinstatement as a doctorate student, maybe try and fold in some religious mission extension, a la byu with the random 30yr old player every few yrs.

    wouldn't go through with this if i didn't think there was a legitimate chance to sit on top of depth chart.

    or there won't be g5 college football this season, in any traditional sense at least. prob one of the two above outcomes likely

  6. I've actually felt bitter towards usf bball as of late, in that I feel robbed by mismanagement and ineptitude of what should be a source of personal entertainment and a social campfire for friend group. how this program failed to capitalize on membership in greatest bball conference of all time during our tenure, specifically in bolstering fan support and recruiting, and seemingly now have nothing to show from this period aside from facilities, is frustrating and perplexing.

    what midmajor teams accomplish year in and year out with comparable or lesser resources is astonishing compared to this disaster.

    an aside, tourny run was senior yr and we threw memorable house parties during games that I have warm memories from, and following last season's CBI run in nyc sportsbars was a thrill ride. I want another hit of that good **** damnit! once you know what's possible, it's more difficult to shake off the losing trend with some self-depricating, ho-hum usf-ism.

    go bolts
