Absolutely true story:  At UCF last year, a 20 year season ticket holding, die hard USF football fan/alumni couple at the game with us, thought that those buses running around campus would be a good idea for USF.

So...if I read that right, these veterans of twenty-years were not aware of the 'Bull Runner' buses that run the campus - and the campus-to-game-shuttles that USF runs? Here's the URL - though from 2014 - but I can't imagine it's been discontinued. I guess it's safe to assume that the couple in question haven't been to Fowler Avenue in some time.

Also, the DEBT argument is old and tired. Yes, we will go into debt and make payments for our stadium.  However, it is the same as making endless payments to RJS.  Actually, it is worse, it is not like we can ever stop paying for a stadium.  Thus, I would love to know how much we pay for RJS and what that would translate into  our own stadium debt.  Imagine if we stay at RJS another 20 years, how much is this really costing us?  We do have stadium debt, we just pay it to RJS.

There is no way to broad stroke an OCS argument for every program in the country.

Truth .... and there's been absolutely nothing presented that a decent ocs would be financially feasible and have a positive impact on attendance at this point in time. The only positive impact MAY be on the future with getting more current students in the fold.

Attendance will suck as long as our games are meaningless.

If you think the games are meaningless why even bother to post about football at all?

Duly noted and statement edited appropriately ...

Like most investments, the return can take decades to produce.  An OCS is not a day trading endevour.

Attendance for AAC football will underwhelm no matter where it is played.

 

This does not require speculation.

When the team was good and we played in the BE, attendance at Rayjay was more gab respectable.  

 

Now that the the team is good but we are playing a Generican schedule, attendance is embarrassing.

 

stop blaming fans.  Stop talking stadiums and amenities.  IT'S THE PRODUCT. . . . People, in large part, don't want to watch meaningless football games.
