I must have missed that one.

Ok, I caught up.  Absolutely ridiculous if they signed the contract giving the Big 12 specific money if they expanded.  If they didn't want certain school, include it in the contract.  I hardly feel sorry for either ESPN or Fox IF this is true (and I consider the whole rumor doubtful anyway).

Game day, the "official" paper of the BULLS, by default. In a small box announcing game times for all Florida schools is the ONLY mention of Bulls football in the whole sports section section.

Please don't hand me any BS about not being their responsibility to promote the BULLS, yes it is. Certainly a hell of a lot more than UF and the frigging ACC!

I'm fairly certain most would agree that Joey and the Times are or can be assclowns at times.  However, they view the product the same as the community and publish/print what draws readers. I would hope they would be better partners and try to promote the product as it helps them.  I think USF needs to find ways to get creative and leverage the partnership. If we can't rely on them to push it, then we should.

Close to the cuff article, but some nuggets were dropped in there:

It's becoming clear now that the only way USF gets into the Big 12 is if they expand by four teams.  Additionally, it will have to be both USF and UCF to make it work for the non revenue generating sports, they could travel to Florida and play both schools to make it work financially.  Houston and Cincinnati are the heavy favorites.

It's oils be so strange if Cincy gets in and don't even make a bowl game.

Nothing about us,. But some interesting points regarding Big 12 at the 32min mark, about 20 minutes long.  Avoid any thing else,   By the way,  does USF have a similar style podcast?

Yes there are two different USF pod casts. Bulls 247 is the better one though.

Another writers perspective of a University getting into the Big-12 based on week one game performance.
