The LAST THING ANY university marketing department would want to be involved with is the kneeling "controversy." 

I'm sure that USF is now very glad that the team comes out AFTER the playing of the national anthem.

"CONTROVERSY" is to be avoided at all costs.

 

 

Agreed. This is the double edged sword the NFL took on when they took federal money for public displays of patriotism in 2009. NFL teams used to stay in the locker room and no one cared. Now they're out there kneeling and everyone is angry at each other. A college team needs the distractions and controversy even less.

Which is the sad part in all this, people relying on somebody else to decide for them what's relevant. 

Well I think it's relevant because I went to USF, but if you are John Q Public...

Exactly. I'm guessing There are plenty enough students and alumni in the area that are also college football fans that selling 40k tix per game should be a snap

Speaking of "numbers," we need a pool for the date when the thread crosses 2,000 pages...

 

The problem is, there's a variable we can't count on.  Just one mention from a P5 conference on expansion and we'd be there in a few days.

Make it "Price Is Right" style, where closest to the date without going over wins.

I wish that us and UCF being good would make the Big 12 regret their decision not to expand, but they have four teams in the top 25 right now. :/

Besides 'butts in the seats' and viewership;

 

are there really any true obstacles that make us undesirable to the P5

Yes, we’d probably steal more recruits from their beloved big name schools and they wouldn’t know what to do with themselves.

    With the climate going on in NCAA athletics, you’re either moving forward at a hard pace or you’re not. I think what intrigued me the most is they’re very determined to become a big player nationally.
