USF and UCF could not be going in more different directions at the moment. I don't think preeminence is coming any time soon to our friends to the east.

As schools, sure, but athletically and name recognition-wise, the other way around.

So if we’re talking as universities, the University of South Florida is more recognized than the University of Central Florida?

imagine if you will that this is merely the tip of the proverbial iceberg and that UCF has been cutting so many corners over the years that it finally catches up to them. To make a clear example of them (and sort of keep these troublesome G5 wannabees-never-weres in line), the mighty NCAA steps in a gives them the death penalty ala SMU (shocker!).

Crazy? maybe

Possible? who knows

early Christmas? you bet!

Deflate the Bounce House

I mean-- it isn't like this bag of dildos conference we are in really matters to anyone anyway so I say let it burn.

When you make false claims about winning a national championship, having a parade, rings made,  and taunting Alabama at one of their games, one can become popular for all the wrong reasons. UCF is the college equivalent to the "Cash Me Outside" girl right now...

Charlie Manson would have been highly rated on social media, too ...

I bet McDonald's is beating Bern's in social media mentions, too.

Well, their university is located close to the Land of Make Believe; it's par for the course in Mouse Town. It's all smoke and mirrors.
