Can you help @Triple Blearn that lesson?

What happens in phase 2 is besides the point. Not saying it doesn’t need to be figured out, just not the topic of the conversation. The point is, profit can’t come before collecting underpants. Triple B is basically saying that the reason we don’t invest at a comparable level to other AAC schools (collect underpants) is because we don’t have have the same level of revenues (profit). I’m saying that there is a clear causal relationship between USF’s level of athletic investment and the revenue produced. Additionally, there will be a period (years) where the expenses significantly exceeds the revenue. Another way to think of it is, our bottom of the AAC level of investment in athletics is roughly 50% of the average in the Big 12. We would need to make a significantly larger commitment to athletic spend to be invited to the club. Look at UCF, Cincy, Houston’s level of investment over the last few years. Now look at ours and Memphis. The schools that are spending in the $70m range got invited. The ones in the $50m range got snubbed.

The entire world (e.g., business, sports, life) works that way: 1) Invest 2) Wait 3) Benefit Suggesting 3 comes before 1 is crazy.

Stop being thick. The revenues are directly related to their levels of investment. Only an idiot would think the revenues come before the investment. What kind of Wacky Wednesday world are you living in where the athletics revenues come before they invest?

The math says we won’t. USF refuses to invest in athletics at a comparable rate: Athletic Program expenses 2019: FBS Median $71M Cincinnati $67M UCF $68M Houston $73M USF $54M American Athletic Conference | College Athletics Financial Information (CAFI) Database

-14? I’ll take that all day. No way it’s that close. Unless UCF starts with their second string.

UCF 63 - 14 Joiner Horne 225

Simple question: Is this rock bottom or can it get worst from here for football? Left behind by UCF, only 1 mediocre FBS win, +5.5 on the Tulane game, administration still bsing on the OCS, no real path forward. Thoughts?

You guys know who picked the DC?

This is the result of years of under investment. You “reap what you sow” and when things were good for us we chose to sow nothing. It’s only going to get worst with next years recruiting. Regarding recruiting, we will be competing for the higher end of FCS talent. We’ve drastically changed our value proposition from up and comer with the opportunity to slay giants to downward spiraling program with FCS level opponents. We need an MBA or a for-profit executive at the helm. These educators have proven to be incompetent. Look at what happened to the last guy when he got a little pressure. He folded like a cheap billfold.

I think the real answer is USF has to put their money where is or be satisfied with the current talent level. Why would a kid go to a school that underinvests in athletics when there are so many options? Imagine if you had the option of USF or UCF. The only reason you would even remotely consider USF would be because of increased playing time. Why would you get increased playing time? UCF has better players at your position.

Clearly you didn’t do enough positive thinking. Looks like we are getting the **** kicked out of us like everyone but you predicted.

Whatever man. Stay delusional. I saw your post in the other thread about how you think USF is going to spank UF this weekend. I’m not sure what you are smoking but it is severely impacting your relationship with reality.

1. USF winning the national title 2 seasons from now 2. Think it and it is true BS 3. The self-help book you are trying to push on us to share this “enlightenment” you’ve uncovered. It’s all delusional crap. Your post reminds me of talking to all those brainwashed people after “The Secret” came out. Hope that’s clear.

I don’t post often but I had to log in to comment on this post. It’s the most ridiculous thing I have ever read here. It’s a blatant denial of reality. You need to find someone nearby and ask them to shake you. Literally as hard as they can in hopes that’s some semblance of sense makes its way into your body.

Gold!

This thread has a very UCiFness about it.

It seems the only vote alumni has is with their wallet. Why would we give that up? I and apparently everyone else who is not spending money on this s. show are saying something very clear that seems to get ignored every year.

and how would you pay the bills?

If they fired Skip Holtz. Just kidding.. But in all seriousness an OCS fund. I would definitely spring for the donor brick with my name on it.

Actually, if he's already talked to all our committed recruits... this is a smart move. Firing them during the dead period would give the recruits time to think and have their minds wander without getting any input from CWT... +1

LOL

Some of the other contracts are worded so that if he finds a job we don't have to continue the 500K a year. They also require that he makes reasonable attempts to find employment. Anyone know if this is true for Skipper?

This is the best news since the Nevada win!
