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

I have a hard time believing eight schools from the ACC are attractive enough to other conferences ("have a place to go") - that combination of eight in particular. The SEC/B10 gain nothing by bloating their ranks with VT, NC State.

I'm slowly coming around to the idea that this guy just might be a bozo without all the internal knowledge he proclaims.

Let's say the SEC and Big 10 take 2 each. 

The remaining ACC plus a few key additions (USF) is as strong as the Big 12. If schools in the ACC panic and run. I could see the Big 12 taking 4 of them. 

The sweet spot for USF is top 4 leave the ACC. ACC adds 3 which includes USF, and then we get a period of stability.

This is my dream scenario.   Our efforts will pay off (I hope).  AAU, OCS, winning records in FB and MBB, etc.  Keep grinding.

Did some reading up on the NC BoG business yesterday when I couldn't read the article from the Observer that was posted. Essentially if a team wants to leave their current conference they have to provide the BoG with financial impact and validate why they should be able to go where they're going. I assume some of this is to financially protect the schools like Duke/Wake/NC State that would not be moving into a B1G or SEC.

His "have a place to go" is banking on those who don't get B1G/SEC invites fleeing to the Big 12. Louisville, VaTech, and others have no appeal to B1G/SEC

🤔  It seems the financial impact for UNC would be so great in a positive way since they would receive the uptick in revenue and research funding provided by joining the B1G.  Is that all they would need to say?  Sorry to the others!

The most interesting thing to me, what does Miami do. 

We know FSU is gone from the ACC. I am not sure Miami is one of the top 4 that gets the step up. If not, how does that impact us. 

Another wild scenario. SEC takes Miami and FSU. Then does the Big 10 look at us as a path to Florida.

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
