I'm not saying it will end up being a good or bad decision, but I don't think USF/Tampa beats UM/Minneapolis in football culture, town, or academic support.

And lets be honest, would you rather tell the grand kids you played college ball and got to lose to Temple and Cincy, or Penn State and Ohio State?

you mean losing to the 2017 National Champions by 7 points isn't a good recruiting tool?

Big 10. Brand new stadium. Insanely nice IPF and athletic village. Just as many conference titles as we have the past 20 years. 

Man **** Minnesota. if he wants to spend his career on an average P5 team then all power to him. We have lost recruits plenty of times and still survived or did better with who we got instead.

Still...to go there sight unseen...

As has been mentioned.....Cash money. NCAA football is nearly on the level of men's boxing or WWE. Nothing is on the level. Alabama's donors just pay the most money.

And its definitely a ballsy move going sight unseen, but Minnesota trounces USF academically. Minneapolis smokes Tampa as a sports town. And UM once finished 2nd in the West in the Big 10, so they have us on football success, too.

Oh yeah? Well we were ranked number two in the whole country for like six days. We just weren't prepared for that kind of success.

Yes, based on your assessment, that must explain all of the success Minnesota has had in football.

Why are we investing in ipfs when we should be investing in bag men?

I mean, I'm a huge Bulls homer, but we're looking like an average G5 team as of late.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.

    “This is not a broken football program by any means. It just needs to be united, to get everybody on the same page, share that same vision, and really to have that standard - best is the standard.”
