those  3 games we lost cost alot of money

[IHuckItDeep]

UCF got their new logo and stuff so of course people were buying alot of there gear......but i actually thought we would be lower than that......I would like to see where we ranked in the present time.....

the clc does not represent all schools...schools such as West Virginia and USC are not part of the consortium and market independently...fyi

[E.T.]

BULL Nation will continue to grow.

Also I may be wrong but I think people are thinking of this the wrong way. Royalties should be a result of manufacturers and orders made by retailers, not based on individual sales within retail. This seems to be more representative of where USF ranked as far as royalties when initial orders would have gone out to retail stores (what they normally buy to carry at the beginning of the season). This being a ranking based on royalties, not actual sales, combined with the dates leads me to believe this is not at all reflective of where gross sales of USF products would rank over the course of the season.

I'd expect USF to see a big jump NEXT year in it's royalties sales and to rank a lot higher (lower number) as a residual from this season's performance and exposure.

I thought 64th was pretty good, considering our youth as a university and football program.  I would have guessed we were lower. 

I too would figure we'll show a jump next quarter.

For a relevant benchmark....please note date of reporting period.  It is the last report before the one I published above.

I would expect to see a big jump next time this is reported and for next year. I know Bealls has had a hard time keeping USF gear in stock (prior to the fall from #2) and other anecdodall reports  indicating USF gear in new retail outlets and displayed prominently in other stores. 

The preordering for next year will also be much greater from long time retail supporters and new retail supporters (Publix, 7-11, and other non-traditional USF retailers).

A friend has always wanted a USF gnome that was available in the decor of the former Big 3 (now Big 4 retail wise) but I suspect that themed items of this sort will become widely available (see thread about USF sign).

After all the years of limited merchandise it appears the flood is about to hit!!!

Go Bulls!!
