No, but we can name the bathrooms after you

I’m going to take that as a win, they are provide value and relief to the people. Not everyone will step on the field but all will bask in the glory of Puc86’s potties

That would be JTrue. Duece Field.

I’m feeling a bit disrespected, can I get a complaint box or something?

with all the capital avail to university, its a complete mystery how endowment/trust/etc didn't double ~YTD.

who didn't get filthy rich at the institutional level during covid markets?

I'd chip in for the bathrooms if I can get my face on the wall behind each toilet.

Last post for the night. Read it guys. Good stuff here. 

It's been a bummer of a week but this fires me up.

They have announced at every step of the IPF that the laws changed and they needed full funding by private investing. They then had a ground breaking today for a structure that is roughly half of the IPF plan because it is that part fully funded. They then said oh but don’t worry about all of our failings, that we can’t buy a win, make horrible hires, took 10 years to build have an IPF, still don’t have the other half and probably never will, UCF it turns out isn’t a package deal with us and they are moving on without us, because we are going to build an OCS at some point with some idea we haven’t came up with and this is a totally real idea that we didn’t just throw against the wall because we are miserable failures that all should be fired and we thought you would clap harder and not think about reality.

USF has blown by UCF in prestige and academic ranking. 
 

I will take that over a Big 12 invite if they were mutually exclusive. The big 12 is not even considered a power conference any longer by many fans (especially SEC fans) with the loss of OU and Texas, and is now left with a bunch of weak academics and football programs. 
 

When I enrolled at USF we were about even with UCF in academics. Today we are 60 or more spots ahead on the USNWR list, nearing top 100, and are now on par, if not surpassed FSU academically. 
 

I would not say the USF leadership should be fired. They’ve done well, very well. 
 

USFs better academics is now being recognized by future students and their parents. A parent told me their son chose UCF because of his friends but she had hoped he would choose USF because it’s a better school. In reality it probably makes almost no difference except for certain technical majors, but USF is being recognized as the better academic institution.

Hopefully we get some details on everything very soon. The fund should have been opened years ago. Will Weatherford is going to become one of the heroes of USF Athletics or just another individual with empty words. If he makes this happen, just give him the presidency 

The time really was 5 years ago. Honestly we should have opened the fundraising for an OCS under Holtz.

So can we just put the ocs on the mosi property already? Bulldoze the elementary school for a parking lot and boom we’re in business

Think the idea is the area on campus on the corner of Fowler and Bruce B Downs, or the current Fowler fields area.

Hoping for the former because that would be a great intro to campus for anyone driving from 275. Also with the Univeristy Mall turning into Rithm at Uptown there could be a big walkable bar district right across the street
