There is absolutely no chance the acc takes us over ucf. Fsu moving does nothing for us but give ucf another step up. 

The time is now for decisive action. Call a press conference and announce that we are folding the football program effective immediately. Don't even play this seasons games. We can do this. 
 

Don’t push me doing his loser best….

Should we get left behind after committing to this OCS then all the coaches, ADs and Will Weatherford should all be shown the door. 

They should get lifetime contracts with no outs clauses that are tied directly to the athletics profits (minus student fees), why should we be the only ones that gets to enjoy the fruits of their efforts?

We have 3 wins in 2 years has any conference picked a bad program to move up?

Program absolutely picked the worst time to suck on the field. 

Hope something good happens...Program has to show real solid improvement 6+ wins this season.

Butgers is the most recent one that comes to mind.

ACC is the better option over the sinking Big 12 hands down. Travel distance is better. Academics are better. Hoops are betters. Miami Canes conference opponent. 

Like we have an option of either the Big 12 or ACC.  That "sinking" B12 looked at USF and hard passed.

Probably too late.  Chairs are being rearranged now, not later.

Tells us everything we need to know about the terrible decision making the sinking B12 makes. They will once again get raided.

To be fair, USC was 4-8 last year and they got picked.  (But I agree it is still a terrible time for a program with only 20 years of history to suck)

It's all about money and USF was probably seen as more of a drain on the conference due to

- No football investments

- lack of sustained football success

- lack of fan engagement/ticket sales/ratings.

The potential for USF to generate money is there though.  And the potential for a big rivalry (aka exploitable set of fan bases to make money off of) exists for UCF and USF....and the Big12 knows it.  Hell USF and UCF both advertised it when they pitched the 'War on I4' as a package deal for the Big12.  So if the Big12 feels USF is finally doing the bare minimum of investment in their program (IPF/plans for stadium) and can bring hype/ticket sales/eyeballs, they'll call USF up at some point. 

Especially if the Big10/SEC go to super conferences and the Big12 only has leftover teams with no shared history... they'll need *some* marquee games to hype up each year.

Does it though? Would you have realistically put USF as one of the top 4 options for the Big 12 at the time? If the PAC 12 or someone else does raid the Big 12, there's no move the Big 12 could've made last year with additions to prevent that.

Then again probably not too late. You know as much as the rest of us…nothing.
