I mean it's great their presidents have confidence, but they don't decide.  The one thing I've learned is it's not always the most confident and loudest that get in.  Looking at the criteria... I can see Memphis not getting in.  Media market... academics (which is a big deal)... and quite frankly facilities.

We'll see.  I mean you're on a USF board pushing Memphis.  To me that says a lot.  I don't really care if Memphis gets in or not, I'm concerned about USF.

From what I am now understanding, they want to decide if they are going to expand and by how many schools by September.  I still don't think they'll make a decision on the schools until after October.  I think that will be a variable.  I also think they will likely expand by 4 teams.

It also sounds like some haggling over partial member shares might occur with presidents and ADs.  Who would Bowlsby reach out to first?  How does a school like USF negotiate something like that?

    "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."
