With all the P5 talk swirling, It has become obvious these teams are not loosening their purses to revenue sharing, let alone any inclusion of MORE programs.That said wouldn't it benefit our programs if we capitalized and became the faces of "NON P5"  Our natural rivalry and fan bases, based on geography and short history could make us the premier game each Thanksgiving RIVALRY weekend.  Collusion seems to be the new business model for the NCAA and for "US" to work together. promote the crap out of the rivalry. I for one would root to see USF go undefeated into November, and the same for UCF, where the game has EPIC repercussions.... Just sayin...I hope USF has a great season and look forward to the showdown at the JAY....and in the future moving our "home" game to the Citrus bowl (after renovations) and having it underwritten by sponsors...create our own revenue streams....

I really don't think there's much colluding that would really need to be done. It should come naturally. Last year would have been a great start if we had knocked you guys off your high charger, somehow ruining your season. That's how Rivalries really get going.

Even if we did beat them, I think they had the conference locked up on account of them beating UL. I wouldn't be a big proponent of playing in the Citrus Bowl, other than it being closer to me than either home venue, but I would hardly call it a neutral site.

Knightro, as you realize, we would have never said this 4 years ago. I don't think our schools will every truly like each other, and indeed, it's a tough thing.

 

But it's also clear that we have higher profiles than FIU and FAU and that this conference matchup can be good for both teams. USF will of course need to get back to winning, but if we're pulling in 55-60k a year for an annual Thanksgiving day matchup (most likely on Black Friday), it's surely possible that this will happen.

 

Rivalries are built through meaningful games. We had a fantastic rivalry with WVU for the years we were in the Big East, and even viewing the Bulls from Orlando I think you could see that. If USF wins the match up (which I think we will), it's hard to say whether it'll be a meaningful game because it's more ikely than not that at least one of us (and quite possibly two, seeing how much Houston, Cincy, and ECU have returned) will not have a conference championship on the line. 

 

That said, the talent is there at least short term for USF and UCF to pull talented recruiting classes and be in the top 25 every year. UF, FSU, and Miami surely CANNOT have it all, and nor can Georgia/Alabama/Auburn.

You're right. I thought it was the highest ranked in case of a tie ..... which is the way it should have been.

Limited number of scholarships. Want to be close to home, girlfriend, etc.. Talent overlooked. Like the coaching staff and system. Etc. etc. The NFL player of the year two years ago, Joe Flacco,  went to Delaware.   The P5 won't get all the great talent.

Maybe Steve McNair or Jerry Rice are better examples.

A little closer to home would be Freddie Solomon and John Matuszak...
