USF Football Schedule

The problem is none of the big schools that are not in the state want to come to Tampa and have 15k people in the stand. Yes it is reality.

I don't care if all P5 games are on the road. I like the old @Bull-by-Marriage mantra. "Any time. Any place." Just make the buyout $2 million +. Better to beat them on their turf than ours anyway. 

Had some of our finest moments on the Road......Auburn and Notre Dame immediately come to mind.

The problem with 3 for 2's is that they will be scheduled over a 7 to 10 year period.  With that length of time, cancellations are almost guaranteed.  But I guess if we can negotiate very high buyouts then we're good.

When you schedule far out, you simply have to have something like this in the contract:

Cancel (not mutual) - big buyout

Postpone (mutual) - no issues

Postpone (not mutual) - small buyout if done at least 24 months in advance, medium buyout if done 12-24 months in advance, no postpone in last 12 months.

There wouldn't be 15K in the stands for "big" schools

[Gismo]

The count is not against P5 teams, it is against “top 35 S&P” teams.

No, that's opinion ..... with no basis in reality. We had more than 15K for Ga Tech. Common sense says that bigger schools would bring at least 5K by themselves. We've had at least 15K of our own fans to watch schools like Elon.

Let's see how your "reality" looks for the Wisconsin game ...

I'm going with 42k.

I think Wisconsin will bring some fans. They travel well.

JK is going to bat for us on Twitter right now. I think his account got hacked.

Opening game, higher USF expectations, large Wisconsin presence........>= 35K easy!
