Of course so is every other G5 school...

You guys are actually bringing up what I consider a valid point.  Since the demotion, I have wondered how many potential players might have considered the program under better circumstances but dismissed USF since there was limited opportunity . Just a few years ago the Bulls had an offense which could score on anybody.  I wonder what could have been had the defense just had a 2-3  more playmakers.  We all remember the ones USF was able to entice to come here in the Big East days.   Anyway, at least now, everyone in theory has a chance when they start the season.

From my understanding this is NOT a done deal... Or did I miss something?

No it’s a recommendation from the committee put in charge. A final vote happens in September but its a rubber stamp. The committee put in two years of work and had the full backing from the university’s presidents and ADs. This is happening.

This was a HUGE deal with Leavitt when we came to the Big East...he legitimately sold the chance of winning a national championship...many players quoted Leavitt saying this...same thing applies again...this is big big news...

I make recommendations for a living, but not everyone listens. A lot can happen between now and September, so I'll remain cautiously optimistic.
