I checked his account, and it all looks like unbiased objective statements to me.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

DW is making his case:

"I will only tell you the Big East has been a great league for us and I don't want to see schools leaving, but we've never been in a better position,'' Woolard said. "We have the eighth-largest school in America. We have great facilities in place, including a new Sun Dome and a (men's) basketball team coming off an NCAA appearance. People know where our football program has been and the potential it has.

"And we're in Florida with a great TV market.''

Sell it baby! Sell it!

Sorry Doug, your missing one huge part of the equation that does play a big part in perception of the program and the overall university in general. You don't have a stadium and no future plans for one.............

That matters just as much as recent on the field success does in all these movements .... ie very little, if at all.

It does not matter to you, some on this board, or the Big East, and maybe the ACC since they have Pitt and Miami, but the Big 12 and the other conferences would demand that we add an on-campus stadium with "X" years.

LOL ... Do you have any shred of proof to that being true?

Only what I have been told from big donor buddies I know with UGA and Tennessee... they said that USF would be more attractive to conferences at the level of the SEC if USF had a OCS... they said its in the SEC rule book that all member schools have to have On Campus Stadiums.

Not sure if its in the rule books for the Big 12 or not, but if you look at the member schools they all have OCS's. So I'm assuming on that level.

If we have to promise an on campus stadium within x years to make us look more attractive/serious, we need to do it. This is important.

If we ever made a boatload more cash per year we could get that stadium sooner.

Ah...twitter sources.

FSU to the Big 12. June 15th. No wait July 15th. No, no August 15th

Was there a year specified?

The people on here who blindly follow any and all Twitter feeds that issue predictions were certain it was twenty twelve

Makes sense from a market perspective. Obviously, who knows if it's accurate...

    "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."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.

    Kevin Patrick
