Wait, when was MOSI completely taken off the potential USF property acquisition table?

For those who might remember, my post on Feb 8th that called EXACTLY what happened in regards to the Indoor Practice Facility-

The same source confirmed to me that USF will NEVER have an on-campus Football Stadium.

Why?

State Subsidies is what he said

State Subsidies, which are given based on how old your university is, is why USF won't ever have an on-campus stadium. We don't get nearly enough of State Subsidies to pay for the on campus stadium.

Also, with the Super Bowl being hosted in Tampa just recently, the USF logic is "Why would we build our own stadium, when the Superbowl was just hosted in the same stadium USF plays at.... how many college football programs can say they play their home games, in the same place that just hosted the Superbowl?"

He confirmed (just like he confirmed the time and location with the IPF) that it's absolutely never going to happen for USF.

 

 

I'm in agreement.  The only part that sucks with the whole thing is that we don't get the money deserved from the concessions and parking profits.  Maybe we can re-negotiate that at some point.

Otherwise, its a pretty **** good recruiting tool.  Play in the same stadium that Tom Brady and the SB champs play in.

Wow, tell me something we don't all ready assume unless a) a billionaire donor gives us the money or b) we are invited to a power 5 conference with the stipulation we add an on-campus stadium.

Campus tradition and brand cohesion/authenticity.  Generations of tradition building to massive donor base.

Seems like a bunch of fallacies being tossed about...

Maybe, but a USF game at Ray Jay will never have the same feel.  Anyways, I think the survey proved that we want cupholders more than an OCS anyway.
