How did USF get into the former Big East?

Fly to OKC and bus an hour north?

Why hop a bus when you can have Apis' lovely charter plane? Plus, before you die you can dust a crop on the way.

Its obvious that we don't 'need' them in order to get an invite but something tells me that if we get an invite at some point UCiF will get one too.  Why not work together and try to expedite the process. Like it or not guys, UCiF is our rival...

If you learned anything from the past two years --- it doesn't matter if they are our rival or not

 

We need to build a product that can stand alone... because they will pass us by... That includes fans showing up to games

taking both gives bragging rights and the ability to post billboards in several cities and along 1-4 "this is big 12 country"

every school would make a trip to florida every year or two at the least

i dont know what these conferences are waiting for

if the big ten can take rutgers and maryland why would a conference lock up tampa to orlando?

It would be unfair to boil it down to any one or two things. I was at the press conference when they announced the Big East invitation and acceptance. We had the right people in the right places at the right time, including Dr. Genshaft and Lee Roy Selmon - they personally traveled to sell our school to the Big East and their presentations and personalities topped off a resumè which Tom Jurich noticed and was also able to sell effectively. We showed commitment to the things that matteree most, and the conference recognized that similarly to businesses... its more about the people in leadership than the wares themselves at any given time.
