How does our contract compare with other G5 programs? You can piss and moan all you want about utter failures and subsequent regression of the Athletics department but the last UA contract was signed when we were a BCS school. What matters is how our contract compares to our peers before claiming it's something the forum shouldn't be happy about .... and maybe it does suck in comparison but you can't compare it to something we had at a higher level so some relevant data could help stoke those flames of forum unhappiness.

Just that I would not typically make 30 year investments into something that will at best break even to renting and has zero ways to go liquid should football or the P6 model prove no longer viable. People typically build stadiums because they feel they have to not because they ever feel they want to. Someone will inevitably point out renting vs buying a home and ignore that the payoff for home ownership is when you get to sell the home and recoup some of your investment, the value of a stadium on the USF campus to anyone that is not trying to field a college football team at USF is somewhere close to zero dollars. Did I mention that professional teams that are worth Billions of dollars make sure not only to not buy stadiums but to also not even have them given to them and prefer to lease them? The reason is owning a stadium is a horrible investment and should only be considered by desperate people in what they feel is a desperate situation.

You knew I was joking yet you wrote all that.  You are relentless.  We need to find you a job so you don't have so much spare time on your hands.

Everyone needs a hobby and a vice or two or three (this is pretty cheap, keeps me entertained enough, isn’t something real enough to drive a person insane fretting about, has been with me longer than my wife, my kid and most of my friends and my wife tolerates it).

I love scotch but I think it doesn’t seem to love me as much. On a bad day on the Pen I could get a few downvotes. A bad day of scotch can get me divorced, in jail or dead.

Can you get all hopped up on scotch one night so we can see what it looks like when you get argumentative and opinionated?

Trust me you have seen it; I am not a teetotaler I just know if I drank as much as I posted I couldn’t have a very serviceable life. Of all the things I do as a pastime this one seems to be the one with the fewest opportunities for consequences or lack of enjoyment.

Was actually wondering how long before someone brought that up. UConn also has a pretty good deal with Nike  .... and what do both those schools have in common, that they don't have with us? They were both nationally branded because of basketball before joining the Big East, in UConn's case joining for football. There's no comparison to make with USF here.

So we suffer for your aversion to consequences and lack of enjoyment .............. wonderful.
