Stay the course. Keep getting locals to invest in USF, and USF will end up in the tier below P2. Winning never hurts either.

 

The 3 weaker conferences will be forced to adjust their reality, that their old peer group is done, and it is time to go with schools set-up to win this less. Many G5s are better setup for that than 5-10 former P5.

The Big 12 was the first forced/willing to accept this. The objective is to get a P3 setup that is too large and has too many schools that can compete even without equal funding. Which does not mean Wake and BC, but does mean adding another school in FL that can have great success even on AAC money.  3 if Miami is available, which is unlikely at this point. 

UCF, USF, WVU, Cincy, Louisville, Pitt, NC St, GT, VT, and Miami looks rather familiar, right? Possible in a 24 team P3 that forces its way to getting autos to the expanded CFP. On the other side is Utah, BYU, AZ, ASU, CU, KU, OK St, Baylor, TCU, TT, Houston, KSU, ISU.

Clearly a lot of possible deviations, but the main point is the Big 12 rather have USF than 3-4 ACC schools, and rather have USF than 3 PAC schools. As long as the Big 12 or ACC are the base of the P3, USF should be in. The sooner the PAC is done the better for USF imo, although rump P5s fading from the view of P2 is still relative improvement.

I'm in Big 12 circles, so if just 4-6 PAC schools go to the Big 12, USF would have just gotten closer to an invite. If we can sell the PAC on UCF, we can sell them on USF. And I know there is a faction that would want to invite USF soon, in preparation to corral the upcoming ACC leftovers, but media is less thrilled about that. Some still love the Boise ratings (ugh) and SDSU market, but the media doesn't care about what is best long term for the conference or surviving in P2 era. Don't get me wrong, a MWC with Oregon St, WSU, SDSU, Boise etc is more formidable than any want, but going west makes getting a P3 harder. 

One could argue that 3rd super conference splitting up into 2, but the value in the P3 setup is being the "other guy" to the BIG and SEC. That is a role. Multiple "other guys" is not. 

Keep investing, keep working on growing your base. Keep winning. Good luck, I hope to see you in the conference soon. 

Beat BYU !!!

Fresno and SDSU are lucky to be in the right geography for this move if it's for real.  Makes sense to replace 2 SoCal with 1 SoCal and 1 MidCal (is that a thing?).

GO BULLS!

Fresno is considered "Central Valley" but you are close enough.

Yeah I know and I apologize lol. I could not stop laughing at the FSU fans replying and losing their minds at the thought of USF joining their conference lol

Wouldn't they be smart enough to know that we kinda need them to leave for that to happen?
