Compete for a National Championship!!.....the Bulls haven’t won a  Conference Championship, and yet not competing for a NC almost makes you sick.   LOL!

 

You got me there.  

For a second I forgot we are a school with no traditions or winning culture.

That is definitely a better description of our shopping options, with the transfer portal being out thrift store equivalent. Never know what we could hit on ....

 

14. A legendary sweater

Coach Vince Lombardi, pictured here with Bart Starr, had worn the sweater in younger days.

 

Sean and Rikki McEvoy loved picking out cool vintage clothing to sell online. One day in 2014, they picked up an old West Point sweater at an Asheville, North Carolina, Goodwill store for just 58 cents.

After discovering it had some moth damage, Rikki McEvoy decided to keep the sweater and fix it up for her husband.

Later, the two of them happened to be watching a documentary about legendary football coach Vince Lombardi and noticed he appeared to be wearing the same sweater.

Sure enough, the McEvoys found Lombardi's name written inside the sweater. They got it authenticated, and sold it for $43,020.

 

 

 

A fine investment on their part. Now, if our hand me down transfers turn out to be high dollar performers...?

The only clown here is you. You prove it over and over again. Can you imagine? What idiots we are for having pride in academics. You’d think USF was a university or something.

I may have touched a nerve.  As stated before, we are not really known for academics and are are a far cry from the elite, I simply feel we have a better chance of competing and becoming well known through a superior Athletic program, but Judy “clown face” Genshaft robbed us of that opportunity. I am currently paying tuition for a top notch University and see the opportunities it provides through the employers interest in the school, we aren’t even close to that level.

The lazy hiring authorities may care more about the name of the school, but anyone interested and knowledgeable about the field for which they are hiring will know the top programs (not school names) for that specific job and hire accordingly.  USF has a few of those - accounting and I/O Psychology come to mind.

Very good point, I have a daughter interning in Dallas in accounting.  Almost everyone she knows got an offer from all of the big 4 and her University makes up about 75% of the class at this firm.  Dave G or you would know best but I can’t believe USF is near that level in accounting.   i am not even sure they beat FSU, forget about UF altogether.

Jesus that is a low starting salary for a business major...$40k? The national average is $51k. Students at the University of New Hampshire Paul School of Business are averaging $54k entry level.

We live in Florida, remember? There’s a sunshine discount. It applies to every field. Have you ever worked in this state?
