Having Ga Tech in the conference would be an epic win though.  So easy to travel in to that one and there's mass transit right near the stadium at the North Ave. or Midtown stops.

Yes Ga Tech was a fun road trip. Also love trying out The Varsity.

Very true. Easy (fan travel wise) road game.

1.) This happens

2.) The PAC adds 6 teams to go up to 16. Ok State, Texas Tech, Baylor, TCU, Kansas, SD St (get back in socal)

3.) We end up in a backfilled Big 12 that is very similar to the "Big East" that UCF joined 10 years ago. Something like:

Iowa State, Kansas State, WVU, Houston, Cincinnati, UCF, BYU, USF, Memphis, SMU, CSU, Boise

Where its definitely better than what we are now, but the Big 12 in name only

The Big 12 is reportedly "involved in deep discussions" about adding Pac-12 teams to its conference following the latest conference

That’s insane that he would publicly state that they should hire him back just to fire him. Everyone at that time knew the SEC and Big10 were on better trajectories than the ACC. If you have an out why would you possibly decide to handcuff yourself to less money for as long as possible with the hardest path out of the conference you should have left. MK is even laughing at him, sad.

The whole alliance thing might make sense if they can hold out on the GoR deal and see what shakes out with that. PAC would get ACC early games and vice versa.

I see that being a legit deal that happens if the PAC schools resist jumping to BIG12.

Historically some poor choices by USF but also some bad timing and bad luck. Timing remains critically important.  USF football remained largely on its back when it needed to be appealing, high performing and wildly  successful during realignment discussions.  The fact that this realignment stream is 80% nonsense, noise or impotent bickering amongst Bulls reveals exactly where we are.

Just one question, where the hell is the 20% that does not meet this criteria?  I agree though that we were very bad at the very worst time which didn’t help our plight, sometimes it is better to be lucky than good and unfortunately we were neither.
