Here's my plan...we build an OCS, go all in, 50k seats, luxury boxes, scoreboards, the whole nine...then, strategic default. Let the bank take that **** over. They're going to have to rent it out to make back their money and we pit RJS and the new OCS against each other. We can rent our own OCS for the same price we're paying at RJS. Boom! 

You're welcome, Kelly.

money seems legit GIF

Nah... I'm still married to the same woman and don't know any porn stars. Not to mention, I don't make enough in education to be able to hire someone to cheat on my taxes. Plus, the White House plumbing is from the 50s renovation, those toilets don't stand a chance against my 21st century bowels.

This is why I keep coming back to The Bulls Pen.  :)

I can’t cross check that data, but the analysis makes sense to me.

As someone with inside knowledge (and a copy of the contract in front of me), I can verify that the information in the post is correct. 🤘

As fans we need to just open up a 10 million dollar Bitcoin fund, then when Bitcoin goes parabolic again, we close it out at 100 million and BOOM we got ourselves a stadium

We will get to that $10 million right after Brad finishes his drive to get $10,000 donated for the IPF.

You never know, we might inform and excite enough people while trying to find donations that someone pays closer attention to the Bulls and reaches out to donate big $$ or sponsor a program or facility.  If we only manage $10,000 it will be appreciated AND hopefully create and maintain some buzz as we head into the season.

Our plan is a blue print for the demise of USF Athletics.   Default and the state would shut down the program, lock, stock, and barrel.

The issue is that every year that goes by is another year where the projected cost of an OCS increases. The bonds on such a $220 million stadium would require $16 million in annual payments for 30 years. Given the TV contract, we wouldn't be able to pay that amount. Additionally, the flexibility to do 2 for 1's like we have seen against marquee programs goes out the window, as we would need the revenue from 7 home games per season to have any chance of being able to pay back the construction bonds. I highly doubt that a few big-name donors are going to step up to help pay the cost of a stadium, as we cannot even raise $20 million to build an IPF. If we issued bonds to pay for the other half of the IPF/Athletic Center, that will cost us about $1.5 million a year for 30 years to pay it off. 

I really don't see a viable option for USF to even attempt to build a stadium without a change of conference into the P5 or Jeff Vinik deciding that it is in his best interests to somehow help USF construct a stadium. Maybe give him naming rights to a college, a statute, and some legacy like naming it Jeff Vinik Field or something like that. Outside one of those two scenarios, I think we are Ray Jay for life.

    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.
