Non-USF fans are pointing out basic flaws in the article. He is objectively biased and misguided. 

The truth is we can't NOT build one. I like to think they are building the best one they *can* afford. I don't think this article was objective enough to base on whether they can or not. 

It's obvious the AAU status has rattled a few chains .......

Does this athlete bring in as much revenue as a winning football program or  a big bowl win? I hope you win kid, but football has only gotten worse and is now at rock bottom because of AD MK. The only thing that solves this is winning and we suck until we prove otherwise on the field. If coach golesh doesn't get usf to at least 5 wins  and near 0.500 this year ad mk has got to go.

Thanks for posting this! I knew that they (like the entire newspaper industry) were in financial decline; this just proves it.  Reminds me of the saying - “when you point a finger at someone, three are pointing back at you”.   

I am surprised that the plan is to only go with 20-year financing on the debt. Would think that a longer term  (30, 40, or 50 years) would make the numbers work better.  Then again, my major at USF was Geography, not Finance…

With the AAU announcement, we’ve now got momentum. Let’s get the OCS built and take this school to the next level!

That's amazing.  Reddit is usually more cancerous than even Twitter.
