Can fox just give USF money and buy out our games from AAC? I mean if any schools add value, why aren't they trying to cherry pick games from the AAC and partners? 

Are you saying as an independent? If so, do we actually attract national attention to warrant this?

Going independent is worse than not getting in the Big 12.

Its not a good arrangement for the Big East / AAC.  It was a tumultuous time for the conference when it was signed plus Espn had safeguard in old Big East contract to beable to match any competing offers.  Hard to drive up bids when somebody who has nothing to lose can match your highest offer and retain/steal the deal out from under you.  People prob didnt think schools would be top 25 material.

Do you guys realize what the schedule would look like as an independent? All of the conferences are going to 9 conference games. The ACC (and maybe others) will mandate 1 or 2 P5 games. If you add in the obligatory opening patsy, Harlan will be traveling the country begging for games. It won't be pretty.

In fairness, USF has plenty of connections too, especially at the Judy and Mark level. Lots of president and AD connections. 

Are you so sure that Judy and Mark have any more connections than any other expansion candidate?  I know all of our contacts that used to be at WVU are now gone, replaced by other personnel.

And if so, who are these great contacts?

Just saw some really disturbing video of animal abuse by a BU player.  If that player is not off the BU team asap, then the BIg 12 team needs to do something with the team from Waco

If USF doesn't get into the Big 12, we all know the answer why.

    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.
