they did the work and deserve their shot. Hopefully they can make some noise.

Since Cincy made it to the CFP, how does the payout work? Conferences get a chunk of that money, right?

Go Bearcats! If they someone upset Bama it will be a Christmas miracle.

The math says we won’t. USF refuses to invest in athletics at a comparable rate:

Athletic Program expenses 2019:

FBS Median $71M

Cincinnati $67M

UCF $68M

Houston $73M

USF $54M

 

 

UCF 1st football season: 1979

USF 1st football season: 1997

They are 2 decades older than us. UCF's 25th year was 2004. Ours is 2021. Their 25th year was the first year of George O'Liar. UCF's entire Athletics budget was $56 million in 2018. It was $35.5 million in 2008. I could not find their 2004 budget in a quick search, but the point is - we are actually far ahead of them on an even time scale. Our budget is more than double what theirs was in their 25th year of football. We ran almost as quickly as we walked and we got used to football success far sooner than most schools get to. 

Give USF a chance to prove we're doing it faster, but also better than they have. Let's  not even go into how much older Cincy and the other schools are... we are lightyears ahead on an even time scale from the vast majority of schools in similar current position.

FAZA, what can we do to make the university invest more into athletics and generate more revenue by having a successful Football and basketball program. They are the big Tv contracts.

Are you just oblivious to what's going on right now?

It is all talk until the stadium is built and they pour money in.
