Wonderful. Two more teams to jump over us.

Thanks USF!

Don't worry, eventually the aac will be adding D II teams and then maybe we can win a conference championship.  All 500 remaining fans can parade down 30th street.

 

Question is why is a USF fan still following Brett McMurphy?

Because he is almost always right about breaking news.  I don't pay for the service that employs him, however; so he doesn't get my money.

SMU -  Started football in 1915; has 11 conference; more donor $$$

SDSU - Started football in 21; has 21 conference titles; more donor $$$

Whine about "thanking" USF when a program with a lesser resume "jumps" us ....

They were in lower conferences that we were. 12 schools have passed us by for power conferences invites the past decade. 
 

TWELVE.

The voice of reason. I agree. USF will be fine.  I guess SMU will be never heard from again if they do decide to move out to the left out coast conference.

USF is too late to the party when it comes to figuring out football. Until USF starts/or potentially has started asking the right questions to the right people to advance ourselves, we will be left in the dust. The athletics department needs some serious thinkers working in there and analyzing the current landscape (all facets). The singular goal should be focused on winning in todays environment. Not yesteryears environment, but todays. Time to figure out our true value to student athletes and where we seriously need to grow. Time to seriously evaluate coaching hires (hopefully our new staff will work out). No more 2000 mindset. Real strategy to win ducking games and garner recruits.

I'm trying to think of all 12. Does this already include SMU or SDSU or not until something official? 

 

Depending on which schools are on your 12, how many actually passed you by vs were older schools already with more established football and athletics overall? Take Louisville for example. They were brought up from CUSA to the Big East with you guys, but I would argue they had a much better case for football vs just the potential of the FL market, which is all USF had at that point with barely any history as a football program.

To be honest. The conference is not as big of a deal now that the 12 team playoffs start in 2024 which guarantees a spot for the top six conferences. Now if we start hearing rumors about the AAC dumping USF for another school then I would be more worried. USF will be fine especially if we start winning conferences championships lol

Also I want to add that this can be a positive for AAC if they add a school from the Sun Belt to weaken the competition for the top 6 conference threshold

I am not sure there are any teams left  in  other g5  conferences  that fans would be excited to see and play. Hell is debatable are fans excited to play most of the teams in the aac that have been beating on usf for years now under our current Ad mk. I am not sure he is putting us in a better spot for realignment to any p5 conference. Let's hope Golesh finds his MOJO and just gotta win to move up.
