I look at Men's Football and Basketball as a form of Marketing. You probably aren't going to make money on it but that is okay. I agree with your original premise in that Basketball is proba

Really? The best argument against an OCS is men's basketball. Indian burial grounds.

Maybe someone render what one would look like on campus?  Perhaps using the old Orange Bowl as a placeholder?

I agree. We should put like...$35 million or so into the dome and maybe build a state of the art practice facility and basketball center. That, to me, would definitely show we're investing in basketball and screw this football thing we've been half-assign for so long.

You better include an indoor practice facility in that buying spree.

Simple answer... NO.

Strive to be great at all sports we play...

UF, FSU, UM and even ucf have built up both programs better than USF. No reason both programs can't be solid. Can we just make FGCU a satellite campus and use their program?

It was USF-Ft. Meyers until 1997.

Great factoid, never knew that...pity.

My USF MBB perspective is "if you build it, I still don't think they'll come". Let's get back on the up-swing before we sink a ton of $$ into this.

230 million and we could have an indoor practice facility and an OCS.. Who's ready to drop some cash?

.. for marketing of course..
