USF, UC, and UConn to pocket 100 Mil. in settlement deal

[BullsFanInTX]

USF needs to take their share and buy their way into ACC or B12.

Even the Housewives of ATL, NJ and Beverly Hills are impressed with our take in this divorce.

AKA Invest in the athletics programs. Yes, we do need to invest in our programs, from a fan-experience and a performance standpoint.

OCS cash?

[Quo Vadis]

This $30 million, when combined with the $2 million a year we will get from the new (putrid) media deal, basically means that for the next two years, we will get paid AS IF we had gotten an invite to a Power 5 conference starting in 2013-2014, approximately $17 million per year.

 

So we need to capitalize on that, pour that money into recruiting and facilities so that we can improve out football and basketball performance and maybe thereby make ourselves more attractive to an ACC or Big 12 should more realignment take place in the next couple of years.

 

PS .. i have NO SYMPATHY for whiny UCF fans who think that pot of money should be more evenly split . Like hell it should. We were in the Big East for 8 years so we "earned" it. It's ours.

Upgrade facilities and sell UCF/USF as package deal to Big12 while only accepting 1/2 of their "per team payout" for the first couple years. 2 for 1 special over here....cmon!

OCS cash?

 

I'll be the first in line to donate for an OCS.... but are you crazy??

 

Pay down our current debt and put it away to get to a better conference.... maybe an indoor practice facility.

 

 

OCS is a very long way away now.

Not if TV execs and B12 officials want both of us. At that point off we go.

Not crazy jsut a knee reaction thought reply. Indoor practice facitlity is a must and should be first. An OCS may not be fiscally prudent/responsible but the OCS needs to happen sooner before later. For the benefits of the students and recruiting unless RJS gives USF more latitude in field decor and parking/concession dollars. If you wait for the perfect timing for something more than likely it will not happen. Just sayin'. Start with bare bones tinker toy but upgradeable and expandable every decade. With the new building code inhancements, 175mph wind designs, the dang thing will be structurally sound for 100 yrs if maintained. Yell waiting until now probably cost some serious $ to the newer hurricane design wind loads.
