Thanks for ignoring that an OCS isn't an actual requirement to join a power conference.

You’re welcome.

USC and UCLA are moving on from  a dying powr conference to the B1g

The conference is dying because they are leaving for $$$$. Don't think the conference would have folded if they remained.

The 340m in that scenario is pure cost. Offset by wins, engagement etc sure but still its writing checks to others.

If we drop 340 now on an OCS, USF has an engine for revenue and inflows for decades. Everything from parking to drinks to suite rentals to Taylor Swift concerts. 

To me that settles it in my mind but yeah others can disagree 

Thought about the potential for concerts, but not sure how likely that is considering there’s already an handful of existing venues in the area.

But how many with that capacity? There may be some larger drawing acts that pass the area by because of date availability. This could be another perk of the VSM affiliation ….. just no monster trucks.

Perhaps, Ray Jay would be its main competition. Problem is there aren’t many concerts that will need that capacity. Vast majority of concerts will still be at the Amp (also because it’s owned by Ticketmaster/Live Nation I believe), Amalie and a bunch of other venues in Pinellas (Vinoy Park, The Sound, etc.). I’d love to see a multi-use facility, there’s just a lot of competition in that space. As you said may be Vinik will steer some Amalie concerts USFs way.

I wonder if ucla and usc had an ocs they wouldn't need to leave for more money ?

Good pod - I agree that turnovers are going to be killer in this game and Memphis can get them.

We need to not do the patented "spot the other team 14-21 points" at the beginning of the game.

Well they didn't listen to the key of the game.
