interesting:

 

 

Because of stipulations by NBC, current Big East new 7-year TV deal can be terminated if 2 more schools leave

 

Brett McMurphy â€@McMurphyESPN

If 2 teams from UConn, Cincy, Temple & UH leave; or 1 of those & 1 of remaining teams, new TV deal for former Big East can be terminated

So it appears USF is not as valuable to ESPN as UConn, Cincy,Temple, or Houston.  That could be why USF hasn't received an invite to join the big-boy conferences.

 

Willie needs to get rid of the bus, and learn to pilot a jet!

 

Sadly it appears that Houston and Temple have both just jumped USF in the pecking order to get out.

or they expect us both to leave and they figured that into the original contract B)

 

Optimistic view, but not totally out of the question.

Philly and Houston are very big cities.  Even if those schools don't get top billing at home, losing those markets from the conference hurts more than the I-4.  Everyone in this conference is separate

LOL .... So the mighty UCF and USF could both leave and they wouldn't care .... Humbling, isn't it?

So, we're getting 1.5 million per year instead of the previously reported 1.8 or 2.0.  Compared to the "power 5" it's close enough to 0 to not really worry about at this point.

Many here are misinterpreting the clause badly. 

 

It's not a pecking order of value, it's ACC-poaching insurance.

 

 - We are not candidates for the ACC right now with FSU and Miami there.

 - UNC, UVA, and Ga Tech are commonly talked about as being next to be scooped up by the Big Ten

 - If/when they go, we are not at risk of leaving, nor is UCF. Cincy and UConn are. 

 - Therefore, no "ACC-poaching" insurance is needed. 

 

This is more a commentary on the relative values of UH to SMU, and Temple to say, Tulane. 

 

The fact that UCF/USF are not in group A is not a statement of our relative worth in the conference. Its a statement about who might leave the ACC next and the obvious fact that USF/UCF will never go to the ACC as long as FSU/Miami are there. 

 

Now, let me put my tin foil hat on...

 

 - If UNC/GT/UVA go, the dominoes are now falling and FSU is likely to go somewhere along with Miami

 - Either FSU has gone to the Big 12 at this point along with Miami, maybe Clemson too, and USF/UCF are there for the taking. Would the ACC be so dumb as to ignore Florida? We'd likely get called up to the former ACC, aka Big East 2.0

 - OR FSU gets that coveted Big Ten offer, leaving something like a Clemson/Miami/UCF/USF combo to the big 12. See my "rumor" thread post, the Big 12 owns the Big 14 name.

Temple will always be small time and everyone knows it...at least USF and UCF have a big future.

USF and UCF probably have two of the three largest football-if not overall-fanbases in the conference.

No, I'm just saying that there is a possibility (however slim) that USF wasn't listed as a Group A school because Fox figured they were likely to move.

Data, I think that Trip may have posted in sarcasm, at least a little.

Then the conference is in knee deep in poo.

They picked group A because they were the ones most likely to go to the ACC, at least in the case of Cincy and UConn, per McMurphy. So its the other way around, USF isn't in group A because insider talk doesn't have them going anywhere.

I like the post stating they already expect USF or UCF to jump
