Sat next to Craig Way, the pay-by-play voice of the Longhorns today on the way from Austin and Dallas and he is absolutely for USF/UCF inclusion.   He has a call in show and he does not hesitate to talk us up.

Since this the thread that gets the most looks, I'm going to post it here. Anyone with Netflix who hasn't seen Stranger Things is missing out.

AP Source: Dungy part of USF pitch to Big 12 as meeting wrap

Hall of Fame coach Tony Dungy was part of South Florida's pitch to the Big 12 and former major league first baseman Tino Martinez also went to bat for the Bulls.

The Big 12 on Friday concluded a week of meetings in North Texas with the 11 schools vying to join the conference. USF, Cincinnati and Rice made the final presentations, according to three people with knowledge of the meetings who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.

The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the conference was keeping its meetings confidential.

According to a person familiar with USF's pitch, Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeffrey Vinik was part of the team sent to Texas and the presentation included a video with Dungy and Martinez endorsing the Bulls.

Since I just finished Stranger Things an hour ago, this is tied for the most exciting things to happen to me today.

Love that Vinik was there and not just on the video. If Higgins made the trip to Texas too then I will really like our chances.

Just got that push notification, too. I think we all figured Tony Dungy was one of the local celebs, but Tino Martinez? Oh man that's crazy! The biggest note from this is that Vinik WENT to Dallas to be apart of the pitch. That's freaking huge! Not only is he a successful NHL owner, he is a mover and shaker in the community. Also being one of the last with Cincy is YUUUUUUUGE
