I'm not sure why you think ESPN is pulling strings in this manner -- Why do you think ESPN perceives USF differently than UCF... favoring UCF?

ESPN is owned by Disney. The mouse has an incentive for UCF to be promoted.

Disney/ESPN

"multiple sources" were feeding ESPN for this. What's the odds they all reside in Orlando...

[edit] or are former players looking for a parting shot. Conspiracy theories are fun.

The Big 12 is smart enough to know that this is a long term play for growth and revenue. 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.

It's not about the sources.  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.

On most of them, the effort would be wasted.

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.
