USF is in the process of working a deal with Illinois for a 1 and 1 in 2008/2009.Can anyone confirm or deny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormalBull Posted May 13, 2006 Group: Member Topic Count: 236 Content Count: 1,797 Reputation: 1 Days Won: 0 Joined: 08/20/2002 Share Posted May 13, 2006 It would be a smart move by Zook. An arrangement like that would be a recruiting boon for the Zooker. First, he can promise his Florida recruits their mommas and daddies can see their babies play a game in Florida. Second, all his IL, IN, Mich and Ohio recruits will want to play a game in exotic Florida. Third, we are the only BCS school in FL that the Illini might have a chance to beat and has room on its future schedules. If Zook wants to play in FL, it almost has to be us, unless he wants to do the 2-for-1 thing with UCF, FAU or FIU. I don't think he wants to run the risk of losing to a non-BCS FL team.So the old rumor mill may be true....at least from the 'it works' angle.Normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe, I cannot confirm or deny, but I was told about 2-3 months ago that USF was in discussions with about 9-10 BCS programs about 1 for 1 deals. The only tangible one I heard was the one I mentioned earlier.As I told you a few days ago, and mentioned before. We're BCS, and must dictate how contracts are negotiated. We must act BCS, that means 1 for 1 only with BCS, even if the offering may seem tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should flip flop from the 2008 conference home/away. That means 2009 has a home opening. But that opening will probably be a I-AA. Also, you have not factored in the Samford home game in 2007. I would look for Illinois in Tampa in 2008 and in Champaign in 2009 if this rumor flies.Normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
