Ross Spano (District 59, Rep., Hillsborough) Sen. John Legg (District 17, Rep., Hillsborough/Pasco) Both of these folks are USF alum and represent the area that would be directly benefitted by increased revenue from BXII membership. I know we're taking a "behind closed doors" approach but it sure would be nice if one of these guys mused on camera, "gee golly, it sure would be good for the State of Florida and Tampa Bay Area if the BXII would take a gander at this here university" or some-such. You know, a kind word. Something. But we get nothing but crickets (and Fennelly). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's get to work Scott. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's get to work Scott. Would be a major boost to both schools and the state of Florida. He certainly needs to make a strong push for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets just play football in the AAC, the best by far G5 conference. I can deal with that. Idk how to deal with losing possibly 3 of the best teams here to be stuck with Tulane, SMU, Tulsa, and whoever the hell else.

Sit back and wait. However, I would like to see Judy and Mark getting their contacts to speak out. Let them carry the stick for USF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
