Who knows how the other conferences will respond if all of this goes down as reported. USF could end up in the ACC or SEC if they decide to go super. I think we fit in better with the ACC, but would rather be in the SEC regardless. I would love to see our average attendance continue to rise and our University continue to strive towards AAU status. We are about as far away from AAU as we are an OCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thus once the 7 schools bolt the Big 12 would lose their AQ and essentially cease to be. Odds are the leftover schools will team up with the MWC and that new league would have to become eligible for AQ but it may take a few seasons. I doubt the Big East football schools would break off because that would require one of the AD's and/or Presidents of the football schools to head it up. Obviously the commisioner of the Big East would be against it. I don't see that leadership at this time. All the AD's and Presidents appear to be leaving this to the higher up's at the Big East to worry about. In doing so, I doubt we would see any serious thinking outside the box as regards football. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
