More revenue coming in than what we would have been getting in C-USA. Hawaii going to a BCS game was a joke with the schedule they played that season.how is that a poor comparison? it's not like UCF has been playing for 100 years. Our relative age is similar just like AU and Alabama.revenues do not = success. just ask Notre Dame pr Boise State or any number of programs. it's a poor comparison because you're taking one of the best rivalries in college football, if not the best rivalry, and trying to equate USF-UCF on that level.UCF also had a 20+ year head start over our program.My revenue comment pertained solely to USF.what does it matter how great their rivalry is?it had to start sometime. usf v ucf , on a micro level, is very similar to AU v Alabama. 2 geographically close schools that are near mirror images of each other.UCF did not have a 20+ year head start. they also started in D3. they went d-1 like 4 or 5 years before us.

We should play them again someday. Sellout crowds make for the best games. And as far as true rivalries go, I don't care what you want call it, we truly hate those guys and the game (when it was played) was extremely important to the players, coaches and fans.

It's not because we are scared of them. FIU isnt scared, why the f would we be?tell me why you don't want to play them or why you don't want them in our conference.Unless them entering the BE is the make it or break it deal for the BE to keep its' AQ designation, it is not in USF's best interest, as an athletic program, to let them in. You've been supplied with the reasons on numerous occasions .... Now, other than one home game, every other year, that you can get all giddy about, why should we want them in the conference with us?

Also, didn't we help them get into CUSA, by leaving. How can they say we're keeping them down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We paid them back by opening up a spot in CUSA for them. ;D We don't owe them anything now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
