So, are we getting the renderings prior to the bowl game or after the bowl game?

I was hoping it would be before the 'transfer portal' opens back up... 

 

If memory serves me well (it doesn't always), there's a BoT meeting next week at which VPMK said more information on the stadium would be made available. Watch for that agenda and you may end up seeing if we'll be getting renderings afterward

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 believe the transfer portal is open now until January 2nd.  Under the new rules, the next one will be only 30 days in the Spring.  Am I wrong on this?

I think you are correct. In the meantime...

It doesn't open until Monday (the day after championship selection day)... and the spring window was reduced to 15 days (May 1 - 15).

The window is not open for all schools ... only for those who have fired their coaches (or graduate transfers, who can enter at any time).

Anyone else have a feeling this could go south?  I know everyone says "it will happen" but the delay in releasing renderings and after all the hoopla, we are now getting crickets from the administration.  Just seems weird to me.  They should be pumping this up big time to start the donations flowing.  Also, we have to be getting down to the wire with a major donor announcement.  $5 million is nice from the couple that have stepped forward, but if we don't have someone ponying up $40-$50 million soon during the silent fundraising phase, I'm not sure this will come to fruition for the 2026 season.

TGH and $25 million was announced a few months ago.

There will be more gifts announced in the future.

I sound like a broken record but it is my hope that they are building a larger capacity OCS and that is why it's so quiet.  They will just spring it on us!

I actually have a good feeling about USF’s OCS. Now for the Rays new stadium I have a feeling that it will fall through in St Pete. Just my gut feelings…
