So based off of this, the Admin has to show that they’re serious. No more feasibility reports, OCS NOW!! Aggressive marketing, NOW!! They need to find a way to engage current students and find a way to get them to the games. The culture can change faster when it starts with the student body. It’s up to USF!! If they don’t take this serious, why should the alumni? There some good competition in those teams, we are not shoe-ins with the Admin pushing it.

Actually Thamel said the same thing on his Twitter that the Big12 could expand again for its new tv contract in 2025

USF needs to do everything in its power to be relevant in next few years and if you aren’t wining on field you better be getting in the news with other positive news. Notice the IPF groundbreaking announcement, more it’s needed.

Navy, Army, and Airforce in before USF.

Based on these reports of a second round of expansion in 2023, a few key points come to mind:

1. UCF will already be in. They'll obviously do all they can to block us. We'll just need to get the other 11 on board or whatever percentage is needed. 
2. I think we need to start Timmy McClain right now. I know Scott loves Fortin, but we're not going to be great this year. With McClain we at least get 4 years with him and can peak at the right time for once. We can't afford another rebuild in two years
3. We need to stick with and commit to Scott. Those people calling for his head need to chill. We need time to develop an identity and culture
4. ESPN just committed a few million dollars to our Athletics facilities to upgrade some in-house broadcasting equipment. They aren't planning on losing USF anytime soon after spending that on us. We could be in ESPN's back pocket if all goes well in a couple years and they may push the Big 12 toward us as well

I said the other day I think we have one more shot at this and to get where we need to be. There will inevitably be another round of expansion. This next time is it in my opinion, we can't get left behind three times. If all goes well, '24/25 could be our last year in the AAC. In the meantime... let's hope Aresco gets us App St, UAB, and some others to keep us as the top G5 conference

Maybe if we charge more money for tickets, it will give the illusion of a premier product and fans will flock to the games, for status.

 

Or we can get a bunch of gen z influencers in the games for free to create tiktoks about the football team.

I don’t know anybody that is calling for his head now, too early and can’t afford to for a variety of reasons.  Extremely disappointed in him thus far but have to stick with him on blind faith and hope for the best.
