This is a massive gamble. If we can get ourselves into the acc it was worth it, if we're hosting fau, Birmingham, Charlotte North tx etc we may as well just use the on campus soccer stadium. 

It is a gamble that I feel USF had to take. They could keep playing in an NFL stadium and be another Temple or take a chance to build something special on campus.

Speechless. The day we sit in that stadium for its opening, we'll be shedding some tears, boys.

The BOG is the last step in the process. I believe their vote is a formality since we are not asking for State money in order to build the OCS. I would say the vibe around athletics is

I don't know.  I personally love the idea of generations coming to this new stadium and being connected to USF.  Seems amazing actually.

They wouldn’t build it unless they already knew the outcome.

The only outcome they were concerned about was how while failing in every measurable way can I manage to keep my job for a few more years, they seemed to guess correctly and the ultimate outcome will be of zero consequence to them.

We shouldn’t have wasted our something on this and been bold like SMU, been bold like Colorado or figured out a new way to be bold by utilizing whatever borderline behaviors we could come up with to funnel every penny into a collective that can buy a team that wins now. Not one time has an OCS played even a small portion of a role in realignment and there is no chance this plays any part in getting us called up, if anything it is a check in the negative box.

But the Big12 pinkie sweared that we would get in if we only had a campus stadium.

At least this is one topic we agree on entirely, I’ve never been so sure of anything than that no one in the last three rounds of realignment mentioned a topic of an OCS to anyone.
 

This lie grew out of but how could they have picked UCF over us? And that being the logical choice over the NY6 wins, the national relevance, the P6 wins and the national championship parade (that our fans made fun of their OCS for years helped UCF fans keep inspired to fan the flames of that insane take).

I wonder how the B12 brass sleeps at night after making us commit to a $350 million project and then almost immediately going beyond full in conference members before we could reasonably be expected to complete it.
