At some point USF athletics needs to stop asking what more everyone else can do for it and start asking what it can do for everyone else. USF athletics despite what some may believe is a business and is in the entertainment business which is only confusing to people because I can’t remember the last time it was entertaining. We went the religious model of trying to make people feel dutiful guilt with the promise of a future reward that never comes. USF has a half a billion dollars it can borrow against, fleeces $18 million dollars a year in fees from the students and has squandered every dollar it’s ever been given sometimes paying three head coaches at a time. If USF wants to fix things at some point they need to demonstrate it and not always ask people to come up of their pocket books because this will be the first time they demonstrate a vision that’s not been communicated or realized since the most powerful man in the building left and was replaced by a void.

This is absolutely, 100% correct. All of it. 

This university and this program has gone to the well of relying on blind faith and loyalty for WAY TOO LONG.

I really think this is one of the silliest comments that I’ve ever seen. And it’s not just you saying it but hearing it from time to time. So it’s nothing personal professor. But it’s kind of stupid. #2/Big East was an opportunity that we mishandled and failed to take advantage of.  It was great that it happened. It was poor that we couldn’t handle it.

Thinking it was tongue in cheek?? But anyway, "we" didn't mishandle and fail "we" just sent money and supported USF as fan's. It had a very large cast involved that assisted in the failure part. In reality, there is probably a very large segment of us(from variety of backgrounds) on here with experience other than in academic administration, that would have handled things much differently But.....as they say, That's water under the bridge. So...onward and hopefully upward. It's time for USF to get it's **** together from the Top down and make this all work so we can play with the big boys and girls...Maybe fewer Wine and Cheese parties and more Beer and Brats

Lol I’ve given too much to USF athletics for too long and have received what can only be described as negative returns. 
 

At some point you have to cut your losses. Today, is that day.

Getting to #2 and playing in the BE was the worse thing that happened to us. 

My family would agree. Every #2 I have is the worst thing that's happened to us.

What is the going rate for an OCS that holds  say 42K-48K fans? 90M ?  I would think that the money from ticket sales, concession and merchandise would help recoup that money very quickly.  That's how to show us that you truly want to put a product out there for the fans and make it our own.  Not some rented out TSA experience.  Yes its an NFL stadium but it is not the same experience for the players or the fans.

Univ of S Alabama just built one for 28,000 for around $30mil..it's nice

It cost $78M and holds around 25K per Wiki.

Dang not a bad place at all for the price:

 

I mean would the double ( $160M for 50K) be a terrible bill to foot? 

Let just call it Vinik stadium and get it over with, who cares.
