For those who don't know, Brett McMurphy has been the most critical of the P6 label. Based on his past writing, that seems par for the course from him.

This article mentions him and much more. I think it is worthwhile reading.

?? Not sure if serious but he has helped USF out a lot. If it was not for Scott vetoing, USF would have not got preiminnent status. FSU and UF were trying to block USF out of that but Scott vetoed the

Good read.

 

One thing really killing the American right now is attendance.

 

Also wish USF had our stadium. Make it 40k... we don't need bigger. Attendance is decline and it will be decades before the P6 catches on or USF steps up to a new conference.

Very good read. Can anyone explain exactly why the ESPNs and McMurphys of the world don't embrace having another power conference (P6)? To me it seems like it would be good for business, more national level hype for them to cover. It can't just be a negotiation tactic to get cheaper TV contracts for AAC games, can it? There seems to be a bitter hatred from some (McMurphy) toward even the thought of a P6. It's baffling to me. Any thoughts or theories out there?

I am sure ESPN would like to consolidate the amount of power conferences it has to negotiate with for some reason I can't fathom. raw.cf.gif

ESPN was instumental in breaking up the Big East. I suppose they don't want to payout big money for another major conference.

What a punk. Wonder what his issue is. He's acting like having 6 "power" conferences affects him directly. Weird guy.

So it's all about TV contract negotiations for ESPN, and it's all about old grudges for McMurphy. I'm thinking there must be more to it than these well-worn explanations, but maybe that's all there is to it.... I hope the AAC keeps throwing P6 hype in the faces of those that, whatever their motives, seem to want to draw a line to keep the AAC in some sort of oddball "Major Mid-Major" status. After all, it took very little time for terms like "P5" and "G5" to stick in the college football world. A little self-fulfilling "P6" prophecy may just go a long way...

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
