Not to mention out doors, beach, restaurants, etc. There are always alternatives to USF Athletics. It would also be nice if many of those who bought a ticket actually went to the games and showed their physical support for the program. Hey, did you forget that “they are there, but out of sight, schmoozing in the clubs..probably 20,000 plus Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unlike the AAC, Big East teams, had many fans in Florida who attended games. Heck..bus loads even came from Louisville to root for the Cards. One year UL had like 29 players from Florida, on their roster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So it’s not so much the University, the community, the alumni or how many professional teams we have but what we are currently selling doesn’t seem to appeal to our market. Maybe we should try changing that and find something people will actually buy since they have demonstrated a willingness to do so. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm sure the university would love to sell P5 football, but P5 football doesn't want to allow that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m just saying... if we know for a fact that we can’t draw fans, get support, fund IPF’s and balance a budget at this point in our AAC journey something has to change. There are teams out there we can be playing that may spark interest even if we aren’t in the P5 but the AAC? That ain’t it chief. I would rather die fighting and forging our own path than continuing to whither on the AAC vine, it literally brings nothing to our lives while having destroyed pretty much every semblance of a base we established. What do we have to lose? We have nothing left. 1 minute ago, NewEnglandBull said: Beach volleyball?
