This. This is what the OCS opponents don't seem to get. 

Ask SMU how they feel about their OCS and the invite to the Big12 - or any other team not getting an invite.  Our lack of money and following is the biggest problem IMO.

I don't see the Big12 lasting too long tbh.  But UCF should do well for 4 to 10 years while it does last.  Hopefully by then we will be watchable again.  IPF is still the right move.

We just got hammered by a school without an OCS, or an OCA, for that matter. Bottom line, not enough people with deep enough pockets have cared enough about USF football up to this point ..... maybe this rattles the cage.

I don't believe we have a bunch of filthy rich people that have been sitting on the sidelines just waiting for this moment to step up and donate big bucks.

It's not just that.  It's also stating that you are going to build it so they will come and provide incentives.  Start lining up corporations, private donations.  Allow me to pledge only for that specific thing.
