We were still that start up back then and by your logic Ray Jay was ok for us then but now that we are in a second tier conference it's not ok for us? I've been to USF games where Ray Jay was electric; but you know we were a start up then compared to now so... Crying over the Big East is like Memphis fans crying over the Metro Conference...pointless as those days are long gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one's is crying. I'm just pointing out a flaw in your logic that now that we have a shot at access bowls we need an OCS but when we had a shot at actual National Championships Ray Jay was fine and dandy.

There is no flaw as USF never consistently sold out Ray Jay...even in the 'mighty' BE...USF was just an upstart who went from D1 Indy to BCS conference in 5 years...that's the definition of upstart program...now you're in a position of stability in the AAC coming off back to back bowls.

Sure as **** seemes like you're saying because we are in the AAC we need an OCS here. I was just pointing out we've been in better conferences and played in Ray Jay at a time when you seemed it was ok for us to be playing there. Seems flawed to me but what do I know about USF, crowds at Ray Jay and what the school should put the money I donate to it every year towards?

Same as FAU and UCF. From corporate naming right, seat licenses, luxury box sales, and an increase in student fees. (from your base of over 45,000 students) and of course, ticket sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just now, TyBull said: Question. Does U Memphis own the Liberty Bowl & is it located on your Campus? nope, Memphis does not have room on campus...as I've stated we have the 'Park Ave Campus' where other athletic fields are, but it's still 1 mile from the main campus, while the Liberty Bowl is only 2 miles away. so essentially Memphis would be paying 100 million to move to a stadium that's still a mile from campus.
