the Big East Conference is not going to get the ACC leftovers. Swofford has them a guaranteed spot in the Orange bowl. They have 2 things we donts have, a TV contract and a Seat at the table!!! We have a contract pending musical chairs work the paper it is printed on...

You don't have a stadium and no future plans for one.............

Neither does Pitt

Pitt is an AAU member institution ranked in the top 50 nationally, they also have over a 2 Billion dollar endowment, Miami is also an AAU institution, with 5 National Championships, are we really trying to compare the situations at these 2 schools with USF?

That being said, they are not making the off campus sharing the stadium with an NFL teamm work, (Attendance and Wins) neither are the other very few schools who operate under this scenario. UCLA and USC do not share with NFL teams.

So I'll ask the question, based on past performance what makes anybody here think that USF administration can succeed in this type of shared stadium environment when nobody else in the country can?

UConn going to ACC solidifies it as the #1 basketball conference. They also just went to the Orange Bowl what...3 years ago? I hope they're headed out...

I also see us getting picked up before cincy.

Not in ACC if FSU is there, if no FSU yes.

Yea...that's true :(

C'mon FSU! You can do it!

analysis is completely off, no offense. uconn plays 30 minutes away from campus on an old airfield.

this has nothing to do with pretty stadiums or football performance. (Syracuse? Uconn? Come on). This is about empire-building, TV contracts, power grabs, etc. Football performance and stadium quality are distant after-thought.

Well I am going to take a different approach. Let all the teams run to their new conferences and leave USF the last standing in the BE. We should get all that exit fee money, build an ocs and smile all the way to the bank.

Dead on ... and to answer the actual question asked, I think the USF administration has already succeeded pretty well in the 15 years we've had "this type of shared stadium environment".

isn't the remaining "gang of 5" (or whatever they call them) still guaranteed a game in the 6 bowls?

Add St Johns to the list of BE schools jumping. Trying to get in the ACC as a package deal with The Hoyas.

23mMHver3â€@MHver3

To all those thinking this to be the demise of the ACC guess again.The ACC will be changed but the BigEast is the conference being put under

32mMHver3â€@MHver3

Latest word from Bowlsbys office: super conferences are imminent. We have options. .

36mMHver3â€@MHver3

The biggest loser in this could be NBC if Delaney can smoke the Irish out.

45mMHver3â€@MHver3

UNC has apparently rethought their options. Duke officials are aware of the situation and are livid. Duke contacted B12 this morning

47mMHver3â€@MHver3

My sources are saying UNC UVA have emerged as the Big 10s next 2 targets. GT will have to wait. Delaney wants contiguous state lines

    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.
