Part of why this seventh generation Floridian got out.  Love Tampa Bay area but it just outgrew me, particularly on the traffic front.  So I made like Oliver Wendell Douglas.

Why was Navy originally added as football only, and now Army?  Anyone know?

Because that is what they requested.  Their other sports are in the Patriot League.

South Florida is another school which many wouldn’t immediately think of as a Power Five-worthy team. But there would be some benefits for a league like the ACC or Big 12 (now that UCF is a part of it) to add the Bulls.

USF hasn’t been extremely successful recently, though it did give Alabama some issues this year and does have a shot of earning bowl-eligibility at 5-5 overall. But because of those struggles in recent years, the energy around the program hasn’t been great. 

But maybe that all would change with a Power Five move. With Tampa, USF is part of a substantial market. The team also plays in Raymond James Stadium, home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so it has the capacity for a move up.

Quite a few Group of Five teams have gone to the Power Five in recent years. Which other G5 programs would be the most likely to move on?

Couldn't this start a ripple if they reconstruct the Pac?  Or is it too early for me to be thinking?

I wonder about that too.  Stands to reason that things would change further.

We know changes aren't permanent, but change is...
