There was no real school we could have modelled after because we were unique at that time. Starting a football program in a major metropolitan area that had an NFL team, along with an NHL team, and then moving up divisions at the speed of light. If we had modeled after UCF, we should  have started football at the lowest level, 20 years earlier. They're where they are because they hit on coaches at the right time and we didn't ...

Just a guess, but I believe @MMW is referring to the model UCF set when they decided to make football a priority. The same priority Golesh talks about since he was hired, from the top down. USF, IMO, had zero intentions of building an OCS until UCF left us wishing we had done something sooner.

Well said! It has been fun to see both USF football & hoops come back to life. Looking forward to seeing these programs take off and achieve heights that they have never seen before…

A closer comparison might be UCONN but they have a much higher profile stemming from their basketball program.

What should we have done differently?  Hire better?  Invest in facilities sooner (including OCS).

Sadly, the school we should have modelled after (or beaten to the punch) was UCF.

We were highly critical at the time of the moves they were making, like the bounce house.  We kind of scoffed at them.  We were wrong.

That being said it is never too late.  If we have a great year and win the AAC and have an imminent shiny new stadium we might get lucky.

Three years of that success with sell out crowds works for me.

UConn also had a great home to place all of their other sports. We have the A-Sun. Make Stetson and Lipscomb our rivals.

Yes that is what I was trying to say.

My favorite part is where he/she/they treats us like we are dumb and simplifies the complexity for us.

In other words let me preach my conspiracy theories on how fsu is breaking  the gor because Disney sued Florida.

Noice.  That's another vote off the board while the new members' voting kicks in this year?
