Obviously the Storms we're out of  USF's control. Just hope that USF gives all season ticket holders who already paid for the UMASS game some kind of discount or this will hurt what very little season ticket fan base that we have left.  If  USF hosts the conference title game maybe give those fans a discount there or roll a credit over towards next season tickets.  Hoping USF does something. 

This. I could go for a discounted or free conference champ game ticket.

While adding Georgia Tech would be attractive from a fan standpoint and help our SOS, that would mean playing a lot of weeks in a row and that game would be in the middle of a lot of conference games in a row.  In short, I'm not really sure it is best for the team although we could use the SOS improvement.

There is information in the press release relating to this.

This will actually help SOS

Here is the information related to the now postponed UMass game (It is right under the graphic on the press release)

THINGS TO KNOW
 
WITH THE LOSS OF A HOME GAME, HOW WILL SEASON TICKET MEMBERS BE COMPENSATED?
USF is committed to honoring season ticket members and their investment in the program. USF will e-mail specific information to season ticket members within the next two to three weeks once options are finalized regarding either a proportional refund or credit towards the 2018 season, which would include tickets and parking.

It's like people on this board don't bother clicking on the links that were provided... all of these questions are answered there.

Thanks, John!! USF has been awesome with dealing & handling all of the craziness this season. I want to thank all that they do to continue to keep us USF fans happy. Go Bulls !!

Indiana’s shopping for a football game 3 weeks from now. Here are the options

College football’s pretty insignificant when hurricanes are putting lives and property in danger across much of the South and Gulf regions. But teams have had to react to Hurricanes Harvey and Irma all the same, with safety and logistics in mind.

So far, that’s meant 16 Division I schedule changes, including eight games canceled altogether. The latest is FIU not traveling to play Indiana on Saturday, with the Hoosiers trying to set up a different home game for Oct. 7 to offset it. That’s IU’s bye weekend, and it’s in the school’s interest to get a game’s revenues and another win toward bowl eligibility.

--- <cut> ---

Option No. 1: Schedule another team that had a cancellation and has a Week 6 bye.

There are two FBS teams that fit that bill: Georgia Tech and USF. All of the other FBS schools involved in cancellations thus far are booked for that weekend: UTSA, Houston, Florida State, Florida, UCF, USF, Miami, ULM, Arkansas State, Memphis, UConn, and FIU itself. So is FCS Northern Colorado, which had its game at Florida wiped out.

Edit:

However Indiana is looking for a home game... I highly doubt USF would want to schedule another away game this year especially in such short notice.

...But perhaps it opens the possibility for an 8 home game schedule next year?

And it would help with SoS for this year.

I just don't see Georgia Tech agreeing to play us this season given the senior roster attrition we will see next season. Unless of course we agreed to an extra road game up in Georgia. I am sure that all of the options were explored prior to announcing the schedule changes. It looks like it will be an 11 game season for us.

Indiana has already scheduled a game against Charleston Southern for the date they needed.
