The good news about USF compared to SMU is that I do believe USF will have multiple options whereas SMU basically had one option for the power conference opportunity. I believe USF can use some leverage as long as they win in both football & hoops

USF has zero options.

And, a we may be told our invite depends on having a larger stadium. The Big East mandated we renovate the YC, it wouldn't be unheard of for someone to say, you must have XXX number of seats if you want to be in our league. 

 

Not saying this to argue, just saying we don't know. 

B1G Northwestern is building a new stadium to replace 97 year old Ryan Field.  The new stadium will have a max capacity of 35,000 fans, about 15,000 fewer than their existing stadium.

Yeah, Which I think is crazy given the number of big name opponents that could come through. 

(unrelated side note: I caught the second half of a game at Northwestern, after the USF vs. Illinois game ended a few years ago)

But, different animal of a team already in a big league vs. one hoping to gain admission.

There are multiple P4 teams with stadium upgrades announced and/or under construction. I believe all of them are lowering total capacity, except for maybe Vanderbilt. 

SMU expanding their stadium: 32,000 -> ? unannounced  (not p5 yet, however may have been a prereq to joining either PAC/ACC?)

Northwestern 47,000 -> 35,000

Kansas 47,000 -> ? (press release says 2,300 more club seats, but also larger average seat size, leads me to believe less overall capacity)

Vanderbilt 41,000 -> ? (indications of more seats)

Oregon State 43,000 -> 35,000

FSU 79,000 -> "between 65,000 and 70,000"

UF 88,000 -> "reduced by thousands"

PSU a bajillion -> "less than 10,000 removed"

OkieSt 60,000 -> "additional leg room, more aisles added so less seats between aisle" = less seats

Nebraska 85,000 -> "adding more leg room"
