Going off 2015 attendance is meaningless, because it was the lowest USF attendance in, well, ever. 

Attendance should average around 40,000 this year and has on many occasions in the past.  The Big 12 knows this (or should, if USF is doing it's job).

TV numbers look pretty good I thought...

There is an upvote for the offset 

Just remember to dig up the voting etiquette thread I made a while ago and down vote me lol

I'd say it's a good sign, given that most think we're a package deal, that there hasn't been a whole lot of public lobbying to the Big XII by USF and UCF's athletic departments. IMO it says a lot about our chances being pretty good.

We be good. Maybe someone not around as much doesn't understand the dynamics at times. I appreciated the opportunity to post the Donate link again ...

You nailed it.  Like I just said to Goldie, we're playing it smart, humble and the way a good potential business partner should play it, which isn't exactly how John Hitt played it with his comment that there "ought to be a place for UCF."

Hitt's statement was taken out of context.  It was a dig as soon as he compared us to ECU.

Here's Hitt's actual true full answer/quote:

"Long term if you look at, or near term, if you look at UCF versus all the other possible additions to these conferences, we ought to be considered very seriously. There ought to be a home for us in one of them. Whether there will be or not, we'll see. We're going to do everything we can to be sure that people make whatever decision they make based on good information."

Hitt never mentioned Big12.

 

First, thank you for posting this in this thread rather than the one dedicated to JK's article. Second, STFU with the whining. You've once again provided a shining example of the Kanigit lack of reading comprehension. From JK's linked article, "We ought to be considered very seriously. There ought to be a home for us in the Big 12. Whether there will be or not, we’ll see," Hitt said Wednesday morning. "But we’re going to do everything we can to be sure people make whatever decision they make based on good information."

Ga said that we were playing it smart and humble and HItt wasn't, which is dead on. They may not be pandering as much as some of the others but, publicly, they're not taking the same tact as USF is.
