We have deep-cover professional intelligence resources tasked with reporting substantive rumor, innuendo and outright fiction and fantasy to the cleared consumers of the 'Bull' product. A world of difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could money gained by the auction of WUSF's spectrum be used directly for a stadium? Some estimates show the sale being very profitable for USF.UCF has two classes of bonds.

The thread poses that the time is now-- the time started in 1995.It is a matter of resources or lack of them basically holding them back. This has led to most deciding the logical move was to delay the building of an OCS.People compare the situation to UCF-- a school that has had a football team about 20 years before USF did. Putting aside what they built, we need to realize they had far less attractive options other than building as the Citrus Bowl was both much further away AND falling apart.Whatever we do build someday-- I certainly hope capacity is an important consideration. Right now-- if we needed it, we could have a crowd of 67 thousand fans where we play. Most talk about only getting am expandable stadium built that is about 45K seats to start. If I were a P5 decision maker looking for a new member, I would see that RJS as much more fitting to the rest of the conference stadiums. 45K is not cutting it - be it on campus or not-- even if we turn people away at the gates because it is standing room only. It might suck to have to endure having a pirate ship in one end zone or other Bucs signage. I think we need to get over the whole Bucs hatred or need to have that traditional campus feel on game day-- or even give a **** if if Joe Coed can be expected to roll out of bed for a game because now it is so convenient for them.My point is simply this-- we do need an on campus stadium eventually. The time for that process to start is now BUT not for conference joining reasons or image or some other attendance related pie in the sky WANTS (these are not actual needs). USF can get the ball rolling but you are fooling yourself if you think we will have an OCS completed within the near term. Money and time is what it takes.I would encourage you to embrace what USF has going for itself today-- take pride in playing in an excellent stadium that is within reasonable distance from the campus.Focus on FILLING that stadium with people-- as this is something that would definitely help our case for inclusion with the big boys. And winning would help all those things happen-- even the OCS at some point. That is what we as fans can do. It is our main job in supporting the team.sorry Mike, but all that is just your opinion and speculation. There could actually be progress happening with an OCS right now behind the scenes. Yes, this is just speculation too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps if you had a cogent argument about something I wrote other than simply casting the entire comment aside as being "speculation"--- let me tell ya-- my opinion about how we should handle this is not speculation at all. It is how I think it should be handled by the parties involved - fans, donors, USF admin, city officials-- all of them. BUt please-- be sure to keep telling people the size of the stadium doesn't matter as much as the location on campus. This just in-- WATER IS WETthere are 14 pages in this thread with valid opinions in both directions. Didn't mean to rustle your jimmies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how the abysmal season attendance will effect that rating, https://fixedincome.fidelity.com/ftgw/fi/FINewsArticle?id=201510261422BIZWIRE_USPR_____BW6362 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
