The only way for USF to get out of the hole the have dug themselves into, is to spend spend spend on NIL for players in both major sports.  We need to WIN and Win alot.  Maybe not today but soon to get into one of the 4 major conferences that everyone knows where this game is headed.  IS it 2 years, 5 years who knows.  But its obvious that a stadium isn't going to win games.  Players and coaches win games and that is the name of the game not stadiums, not IPF, not academics, not fancy uniforms. Just WINS.  if you win the rest will come .  Its time to spend and win or just forget about trying.  This is why professional sports has Salary Caps to try and make it an even playing field.

Sorry but you don't get into a spending war if you're the G5.  That's literally our weakest hand to play.  I agree it could be the fastest way to get better players for *some* schools, but not us.

At the same time, while I think facilities are a better investment...I have to admit that even if USF was halfway to some fundraising goal for a stadium, I don't know how smart *that* would be right now.  If the AAC gets a smaller paycheck from losing members and USF is completely left in the dust from realignment...you won't have anyone going to said hypothetical stadium (and no income to pay it off).

I'm confused on what you're proposing here? NIL is the ability of a player to make money on their Name/Image/Likeness, no? So you're saying we should spend money on marketing our players? Wouldn't they have to put a quality product on the field first?

What I'm saying is pay the players a high amount to come and play here.  we have a talent problem and winning is the only way to get invited to a better conference

In theory the school/alumni/someone can just spin up a company to "promote" players, and you would then pay the player whatever price to "exclusively promote" them.

So if all you want to do is create a Twitter handle for them and give them 80k, that's how you could game the system to get better players.

(I just don't think we have resources for bidding wars)

We can't outbid Alabama but we can sure outbid a good number of schools ahead of us right now

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
