Interesting about SMU as I didn’t think PAC 12 liked religious schools. 

They aren’t crazy about them. But SMU is  non sectarian in their teachings. So very different from a Baylor or BYU

How did the topic on USF and the Transfer Portal morph into Conference Realignment?

We still thinking USF to ACC, right guys?

In an ideal world. Think it's obvious that ACC is next for poaching as they have the strongest brands. Would not surprise me if SEC and B1G both move on ACC. I'd love to join ACC with Tulane, let Memphis/ECU go B12, and ideally not lose anyone from ACC to B1G or SEC except maybe Syracuse and BC. I think long term (10+ years) though the B12/ACC merge after B1G/SEC take theirs.

Yes, we have to hope for chaos; whether in the Big 12 or in the ACC; or both. I think its likely that teams like Clemson, FSU, Oklahoma State, Kansas,... will be poached at sometime by SEC, Pac 10,...

We have to make sure when that happens that we are in a better position then we were before. If we start winning soon, break ground on the OCS, increase attendance,... I think we can be.

I think there is a reason that the Big East in early 2000's saw us as a good add; and we were. I think we can still be that sleeping giant that at one point wakes up and lives up to its potential.  If UCF was able to do it; there is no reason we can't.

I don't think that us being in the ACC or Big 12 at some point is a pipedream. I think that it can happen; but our current administration has to do its part. Coach Golesh has to start winning games soon, and Kelly has to finalize the OCS.  Everything else will fall in place. Go Bulls!

Nobody will touch us until the stadium is underway.

We should get it underway and then get touched.

Yes exactly! The question is how many conferences will start chasing USF once the OCS is being built. Probably at least ACC & Big 12. SBC is already chasing USF’s tail…

I think we should work first on winning more than one game in the newly diluted American before making plans for our next conference.

P5 will keep a close eye on USF, but none will chase. They have the leverage and no need to add G5 teams until chaos happens. As is tradition.
