This too shall pass. If we were one of the 4 prior to this news, we will still be one of the 4 even with this news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about the timing of the release by ESPN. Article was released at 2:37pm EST the day after Big 12 announced plans to expand by 2-4 team. Make you go hmmm...

Someone should tell the UCiF crowd that if we don't get in, neither do they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USF_Bullwinkle Posted July 20, 2016 Group: Member Topic Count: 8 Content Count: 146 Reputation: 38 Days Won: 0 Joined: 10/24/2013 Share Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) This news couldn't have come at a worse time. With the Big 12 already filtering through Baylor's debacle, how do you think the presidents will feel about having another cloud over the conference?! This is complete cowsh1t! Academic violations are probably viewed worse than athletics. Was this "Kentucky rules" inspired? If so, at least they are already in a mecca conference and basically have nothing to lose, but for us being in a G5 we have little to no room for error and then this happens! Judy needs to step up and give some kind of conference to address this pronto. Edited July 20, 2016 by USF_Bullwinkle 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
