Well, this makes the immediate future much bleaker. Just have to keep winning and hope that we can land somewhere when the major ACC programs eventually bolt. 

Let start winning first.

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.

So what....do you really get excited about the prospect of playing Oregon State and Washington State? I sure don't. A rebuilt PAC with Stanford and Cal would have been much more enticing. OSU and WSU seem destined to land in the MWC now. There is no advantage to them going to the AAC. 

Yup. You could see some connection to the AAC profile with Calford, big city academic schools. But with only the little brother PNW schools left, those are 100% MWC schools. Makes no sense for them to be on an island for barely a higher payout in the AAC vs MWC. The slight lead the AAC has in TV money would have gone to fund their cross country travel anyway so might as well stay regional.

Just stop. It's because of "fans" like you that there's no way in hell we could make that offer ....

Fans like me would be more supportive in droves, fans like you are the actual reason we are gleefully disappearing. Being content with failure because it’s not your actual family is not the virtue that you like to delude yourself that it is.

It feels like chaos because we are on the losing end to smu it feels like advancement. This is not better for us in any way and we need to have a plan to stop it.

If only there was some sort of way to invest $350 million into the program that could be used on something actually consequential instead of a mausoleum vanity project or we could see the same math that smu sees that the conference distribution minus the tv is still higher than the entire aac distribution…. If only.

I think it's a very fair point.

I still might hesitate to sign a long term deal with a conference that has a recent history of making bad long term financial deals.  Plus, they just set the market for themselves at 0 dollars.  What leverage will they have in 7 years with whatever the ACC is at that point?

On the other hand, what leverage does USF have by continually getting passed on realignment and living in a bad G5? 

Ooof.... probably smarter to take the sure invite now than a potential one later.

    "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."
