In my opinion it is simple. It really comes down to what Oregon, Washington, and Stanford want to do. If they leave then the Big12 will gobble the leftovers and we will have to wait until 2036 before any ACC school leaves for the SEC and we get a shot as an ACC replacement.  If Oregon, Washington, and Stanford give it a go in the PAC they will poach the Big12 then we will get an opportunity to move to the Big12…albeit a very watered down Big12. 

I think that is just the first level...

Notre Dame to the Big Ten could happen, because NBC is pursuing part of the Big Ten TV contract ... and that will force the SEC to do something... and they will want Clemson and Florida State ... who may not be available, which could mean Kansas and OK State could join OU and UT...

It's fun to speculate.

I disagree. Not going to happen (he says in faith)

Think positive until there is a reason not to, we got the IPF, Soon an OCS, a Lacrosse team, women’s beach volleyball, upgraded tennis courts, new locker rooms,  I believe in MK.  I don’t think he did all of this on a whim, he knows something.

OK…I’ll trust you guys. I feel like an abused person who keeps coming back for more because I can’t do any better.

It’s crazy with the degree of possibilities. I really hope that the PAC can keep it together…somehow.

Stop hoping MK has some type of magic connections.  Stop hoping some picture of some dominos means USF is going somewhere good.

USF got left behind in 2011.  USF got left behind again last year.  Shouldn't that tell you something?  Conferences aren't clamoring for USF.  They just aren't.  Stop deluding yourself that they are.  

There is a greater than 95 percent chance that USF will get left behind once again, for a third time.  I sincerely hope that I am wrong, but I'm likely not.  I know it and you know it in your heart of hearts.  You just don't want to believe it so cling on to some hope that USF is overly valuable to these conferences.  There is a reason we were booted out of the BCS.  There is a reason we were excluded when the Big 12 added 4.  Think of that.  The Big 12 could have added anyone, never once did I hear USF seriously considered by any media outlets.

Michael Kelly couldn't get USF into a B12 on it's deathbed.  He couldn't.  Plain and simple.  What makes you think he can get USF into another conference now?

The sooner you accept that, the better off you will be, rather than sitting around hoping on a wing and a prayer.  Dreams for a 35K stadium 4-5 years from now and 2-10 football teams are not getting USF anywhere.

Stop hoping

So this is basically your message.

Without hope, what's the point?

Why hope when history has shown you there is nothing to hope for.  At least you won't be disappointed when nothing happens.

smazza & Rose Bowl won’t let the PAC 10 go down without a fight. So we will see them take Baylor TCU OK St & Kansas or KSU

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
