Why in the hell is he having reps from the Trop as part of this committee?Because he believes that USF should play any games that would conflict with the ACC schedule at the Trop. He's gone on record with that already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can find the "viability" study (means before it was played) feel free to post that. The easy internet search uncovers the estimated impact AFTER the game had been played. Nonetheless, I think Gary's point is that viability is not an issue for those conferences as they feature marquee teams, travel well and buy tickets (sellout). Not so with the ACC thus far.
