Nobody can truthfully answer your excellent questions until UCF is chosen, we're not, and their new conference explains why they were chosen. Up until then, it's all ******* up a rope ...

Indeed, and well said.  It’s what I figured. No one has a clue.  At some point one has to challenge ‘propagation of conjecture’ as just more of the same nonsense- truth is, ‘no one has a clue’. As was previously pointed out in this thread, sports writers have an uncanny knack for writing and propagating previous conjecture born of previous conjecture- rinse, wash, repeat. Clickbait.  Unless someone has measurable data on what makes UCF>USF by a P5 suitor (which I’m open to hearing) short of the win-loss ratio of the last 48 months, I’ll wait to react to an actual announcement.

Having witnessed the replies to this expansion thread for some time, a serious question constantly comes to my mind.  Notwithstanding the ‘OCS’ and a recent ‘winning percentage’, what specifically are people referencing when they claim that UCF has ‘surpassed’ the USF football program in attractiveness to a P5 suitor?  While I recognize our recent failures on the field, what exactly distinguishes UCF over USF as being a potentially better candidate for P5 expansion?  I see people write this endlessly on this board, but in truth, I’ve missed the specifics?  Is it season ticket holders?  An actual, objectively larger and measurable fan base?  An OCS?  Athletic budget?  Team revenues?  Can anyone offer specifics, or are there any any I stead people are relying on recent perception based on recent winning percentage.  Serious question.

expansion candidates are just judged on money generated. So attendance numbers and tv ratings are really all thats considered. Academics used to be a consideration but not sure if thats still the case

This is the main reason... 

 

How much does UCF bring to the table versus USF? Over the past 10 years....
