Claiming Publix for Tampa is a stretch.  Winter Haven/Lakelanders associate more with Orlando than Tampa despite being slightly closer to Tampa.  That would be great to get them aboard though.

Because they are the local business with the deepest pockets and thebullspen loves them.

It would be cheaper to build the IPF adjacent to the OCS. Completing both simultaneously but, that's just my "2" cents .

It certainly would lessen the "mobilization costs." I just don't think there's enough revenue coming in to justify bonding these two projects simultaneously.

My thinking is that we'll know more about our future revenue streams later this season. More then likely we'll have a hint as to where we will be regarding conference affiliation and revenue levels towards the end of the season. I think they make no announcement until late October - November or even December. There is a shift coming with this contract for the AAC. My guess is that both Fox and NBC will be bidding this go around. It was pointed out by someone else on another forum that ESPN has been locking up all FBS schools in the major population growth states. I.E., the Southeast and the Atlantic states. These properties are held primarily in three conferences, the ACC, SEC and AAC. The ACC and SEC are locked in but the AAC isn't paid enough to be locked in.

It was proposed that ESPN will make a run at Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas and Texas Tech to lock down Texas and Oklahoma and adding them to the rest of the states that they own all of the primary FBS teams. ESPN will continue to keep at least a portion of the B1G's contract as they want to maintain control over advertising of PSU, Maryland and Rutgers. This maintains their total monopoly on College sports in those states. That means they can charge a premium from advertisers in those states. It's just internet fodder but, if you pull it up on a map, it's downright telling. It sure looks like this could have been ESPN's play all along.

At this point however, Fox and NBC could crash ESPN's grand scheme by taking the American intact from them. That then opens up Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Kansas, Tennessee, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Connecticut for bidding wars.

Sorry for the long response I just found it interesting. anyway, the bottom line is; USF and the AAC will have a hint by the end of the season as to their true value on the open market. So if they make an announcement for an OCS, we're headed to P5/6 Status. If not, we're probably in limbo a while longer.

Also, site work and utilities would be less together than separate.  A big factor would be fundraising.

Vinik Field at Publix Stadium, next to Vinik IPF sounds better.

Think of it more this way; Cincinnati has it's Sky Line Chili. Philadelphia has it's Cheese Steak. Memphis has it's BBQ. Tampa has it's Publix Subs and they're available right at the stadium. No useless or unwanted driving around looking for them. :thumbsup:
