USF OCS on the Cheap

[Cow Pie]

Since $$ is an issue we could always do what Winston-Salem State did and build a multipurpose stadium... they did Nascar

LOL.

That said, I get out to the Old Dominion speedway once in a while. It's a real gem, a veritable throwback. Reminds me a little of the old racing at the fairgrounds back in the 70's

Makes no sense to do it the cheap way when there's an NFL stadium 10 miles away. It's best to just wait until we can build a top-notch stadium like Minnesota's or Oregon's. Patience is a virtue.

Not a chance

This has already been discussed/confirmed/mentioned by the A.D.

Not again. At least not at this time when we can't even get a good tv contract.

[cmhatter]

we need a 45k seat stadium but it will never happen unless we get a decvent tv deal

[smazza]

usf needs to be in a big boy conference to justify such an expenditure

usf is atleast 15 years away from needing an ocs

[Mike Stuben]

Here is the math:

Less tickets sold, declining ticket prices, lower donations raised, debt paying off former football coach(es), debt paying off new olympic sport facilities, debt paying off Sun Dome renovations, less bowl revenue, less tv revenue

equals

No realistic shot at an OCS (not saying it was a priority, but it certainly can't be one now)

until

we move to a power conference

(I am not saying this is a forever problem, but there is really no need to talk about an OCS now ... unless we get an invite to a better conference dependent on an OCS)

I don't want a cheap stadium like UCF. They had to build their frying pan due to issues with the Citrus Bowl. We don't have the same issues with RayJay.

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing WELL. Patience will pay off.
