Welp, USF has a vote of confidence from a BIG 12 school.....

in TCU's AD.    Not sure what to think about it, but and interesting quote about USF's new AD.

 

“Mark Harlan is a tremendous leader of people. The University of South Florida hit a home run. Mark is someone who is a great person, a great leader, a phenomenal fundraiser and his word is gold. When he tells you something you can count on it. The University of South Florida got better the day they announced Mark Harlan as their athletic director. You are going to see someone that is going to invest in USF athletics.†-Chris Del Conte, TCU Director of Athletics

I think TCU is just happy that they aren't in our shoes.

If someone there likes Mark I suppose that's a good thing. I think.

Well, there's one big contact for us in the Big 12. Let's see who's next.

And why is Del Conte lauding Harlan's hire a bad thing?    I'm failing to make the connection there.

Curious as to why he'd say anything at all, what connection does he have to EITHER Harlan or USF that would move him to make a comment?

Del Conte was associate athletic director at Arizona from 1999 to 2006

Still don't get the connection. Harlan was at Zona from 2007 to 2010

That's the best I've got.

because the BIG12 would love to have a team in Florida
