We left cusa for the big east and are now in a worse version of cusa. 

But, let's be honest with ourselves...we aren't exactly adding value to the AAC.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

Agreed. Which is why I'm an advocate for closing the football program down. It was worth a try, but it failed.

Funny thought. Many suggest if only we could have an OCS and attain AAU status, we would be in a better situation.  

The university of Buffalo has both of those things and is looking to see if they can get into the AAC with us. :D

If it’s good enough for CJL it would be good enough for them

It is a valid point about the cost of running a football program at this level versus the marketing benefit to the school. I don't know what the answer is. 

Up until the building of the IPF, the school hasn't really dropped big $ on football. Sure we have the practice fields, the existing offices and the coaches salaries but in the grand scheme of things, USF hasn't spent that much on football.

Now if you are planning to build an IPF and an OCS, you better hope it is worth it. IF USF stays in an AAC or CUSA type conference and has a solid 20k fan support typically, is it worth that kind of investment or would you be better off cutting bait like it appears UConn is doing?  

It sounds like they plan on moving forward but if football is outlawed in say 20-30 years due to concussions....I would say there is at least an argument to look into if that kind of investment is wise. 

Just go Sunbelt at that point. More regional teams, and competition that is on par with our program. Cuts down on travel costs.
