The more chaos in the college football realignment landscape the better. Keep those dominos falling…

bye bye bye justin timberlake gif GIF

You have to begin to understand and appreciate the fact that the "chaos" of which you speak is coming to an end. We have missed out on the last 4 rounds of "chaos." There appears to be 1 round of "chaos" left. After that, we will be eternally relegated to irrelevancy. I will always cheer for USF athletics no matter what, but to say that my desire has shriveled along with our future prospects to play meaningful football games would be an understatement.

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.

FSU is reportedly working with JPMC to raise cash for a ACC buyout. USF should take those stadium funds and help fund that cause. Win/win.

Location played a major part. If SMU was located in the Carolinas or Florida, the ACC would have ignored them ....

Let start winning first. 

SMU didn't have to win anything first. 0 conference championships and a very similar record to USF over the past decade. SMU's leadership took the chance that I had been advocating for years. Take a reduced share and prove your worth to the conference. I hope everyone enjoys the on-campus stadium while playing the likes of UNT, Charlotte, and our new rival, FAU.

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.

army smith GIFWell we are not disappearing, Sport!! USF is going to continue to grow wether you like it or not!!

Name one way in which USF's football program has "grown" in any appreciable way in the last 14 years? Aside from an indoor practice facility that was about a decade too late, we have stagnated and shriveled. Attendance is down. Season ticket holders are down. Our media deal is down. Our winning percentage is down. Local interest is down. Quality of opponent and conference is down. Our debt is about to increase substantially, so I guess there is that.

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.

One thing that might be of value to the PNW teams is that the AAC is the only conference that has shown upward mobility for their teams.  One thing that USF is counting on, I'm sure.  Who knows.

Easy. I remember in the earlier years it was hard to find people wearing USF gear. There was no serious talks about an OCS. There was not huge IPF. Basically the media didn’t even mention USF. Even when USF only won 4 games in 3 seasons their attendance is not that bad. USF has grown & will continue to grow.

I remain of the opinion that USF getting LUCKY in 2003 has made a lot USF fans delusional about USF's place in the world of college football.

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”

    "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."
