Some good press from Hookem-Horns. States that UConn and USF are the most valuable available programs and that USF while at #2, UCF is at #4. Houston is at #10 and ECU at #11. :icon_drink:

The Data comes from two previous Wall Street Journal stories.

Hopefully that is on one of the first slides in our double secret presentation to them.

Thankfully they didn't blame us for stealing their "horn-finger" sign. I've always wondered why that bothered people so much. Weird.

If USF is left on the outside looking in, it will probably destroy my interest in College Football.

I'll take the positive press but it's hard for me to see how we are valued that high in MBB. Is it due to the previos Big East affiliation?

Feel the same but then again last few years i've only watched USF games anyways. Knew this crap would happen with the P5 shift... I hate it.

^ I'll always follow USF football, but obviously the interest will be greater (for me and I bet many other people too) if USF is competing with the upper echelon of college football.

Just want what's best for my alma mater. And a fair shake.

I am not sure I buy how UCF football is valued more than USF, further, I am surprised that we are ranked ahead of BYU in basketball, especially by that margin.

Forget BYU, I turned it off when I saw it put us over OU, OSU, and WVU MBB. Heck, even Cincy & Memphis should rationally be well over us in that list. I guess they factored heavily in favor of our potential there (before this recent debacle). But the football looks relatively believable. UCF is still riding some of it's own success in 2013 & 2014, so I can believe it ranks slightly higher in program value. Next year, their value probably drops significantly esp if they don't make a remarkable rebound.
