I know we have spell checkers and newsrooms are understaffed and all that.  But is it really too much to ask a professional writer to use peek instead of peak when appropriate?

"Our football program is really a peak into the future at a peak, so in the future... This year, we won seven conference championships. We're also not a program where we have a football team and that's it. This year: football, volleyball, women's soccer, women's golf and softball won conference championships."

 

Freudian slip?

I believe USF is still getting the money owed by UL, Rutgers, & WVU for leaving

My understanding was that it would be paid out little by little over the years.

The Orlando school is actually doing better than us if you look at those numbers.

You've got quite the eye for numbers to uncover that.

Hopefully his first clue was this:  "UCF in Orlando and USF in Tampa ranked 56th and 57th, respectively ..."

But the license plates say otherwise

Being UCF pumps out hordes more alumni, I would think they should be ahead in the money category, especially with some of their sports doing pretty well recently. Money won't tell the whole story though, so even if USF is getting some revenue from the Big East split, the fact the numbers are so close is a good thing. If USF gets their sht together in football, the revenue would increase some more.

 

It would be interesting to see the makeup of both donor bases. If one school has more donors, but they all donate less, or if USF's donor base is holding back due to performance reasons (would seem possible reading this board and how many people are ticked off and not paying until so and so is good).

The worst years in our existence versus the best years in theirs and we're still neck-and-neck?? That bodes well for us ....

 

 

 really, it looks pretty bad for us to most

 

 

Move along, smazz, we're talking financial support to Athletics ..... One of the numerous things out of your expertise.

I could've sworn we got left in the dust. This just corroborates what we knew already from the license plate data.

It also confirms the Facebook data mikey posted was pure ********. He almost had me convinced on that one.

 

 

You forgot the tv ratings ... You know, the ones where they were playing the likes of USCe, and PSU and on nights where there were no other games on, but everybody was tuned in because the Kanigits were playing.

Really incredible considering what has happened on the football field. Can only mean great things once we finally get this thing turned around. This is with UCF winning a BCS bowl in the last few seasons too.
