I had a huge debate with a coworker of mine (fellow USF grad as well) over the chance that USF will ever be relevant again in CFB:

 

I think the demise of the USF football program is this:

When USF joined CUSA from D1A indy: 2 steps forward - this was inevitable
When USF joined the BE from CUSA: 500 steps forward - we hit the jackpot (at the time) with this
When USF fired Leavitt and hired Holtz: 500 steps back - Still haunting us
When USF joined the AAC after the BE was dismantled: Another 500 steps back - By this time the BE had been non-stop criticized for being a weak conference that undeservedly rec'd a BCS spot; so to be relegated to a ***** ass CUSA-wannabe hurts more than words can explain

The chance of joining the Big12 is nothing more than a pipe dream. It will never happen.....no matter how hard USF and UCF push collectively.

We will be nothing but an irrelevant Directional School in the minds of your average CFB fans. It sucks, but it is the reality.

Yay, fun with made up numbers! :D  USF will be back to college football relevancy; it'll take time and donor money.

Reports of our demise are greatly exaggerated.

I'd agree with the OP and the topic headline if we were to lose to WCU.

I guess someone sees the glass have empty.  I think more changes are in store and the B-12 will have to add more teams, just a matter of time.

Overblown...

 

USF football is only 17 years old... year for year, we are much better than most programs in the country. period.

 

Financially, we are in a much better situation than many other programs

 

If we start showing success within the next few years, I am not worried. It all comes down to MONEY. If our new athletic admin makes that their focus - we will continue to be relevant.

Can't wait to see you proven wrong. See you at the games.

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
