If we were still in C-USA, we would need at least one name program on the schedule to sell recruits, balance our budget and get the possibility of media exposure from an upset. Second, if a I-AA team meets minimum scholarship requirements (65 full, I believe) then they can count towards bowl eligibility. There is also a stipulation that you can only use a I-AA win once every three or four years. If we win 5 I-A games and beat FAMU, then we will be bowl eligible again. Finally, there is a philosophy, which Florida State used to gain national prominence- play anyone, anywhere, anytime. Fresno State has used the same philosophy to make a name for themselves. UCF tried the same thing, but with different results. I would be very surprised and disappointed if USF ever signs a "money game" ever again. We are in the process of transitioning from a mid-major to a BCS program and we play an uneven conference schedule. Our new AD has done a great job with football scheduling so far. He has signed Miami for a probable 1-1 and North Carolina for a definite 1-1. He also signed a I-A team (FIU) for a 2-1 in our favor. Our scheduling is going to be awkward the next few years, but we have to make the most of our situation and we are doing exactly that. 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
