I hope this is happening. PAC/ Mountain West/AAC combo would make for one exciting league.

I agree. The PAC needs 8 teams to keep things moving for now. Just add USF, Memphis, SMU and Navy, then add the MWC 4 and I think it’s a respectably GOOD conference, that’s worth an auto 5 spot.

My dream scenario would be this:

West.                  East

Stanford.                      South Florida

California.                    Navy

Oregon St.                   Memphis

Washington St            Temple

San Diego St               Tulane

Air Force                      SMU                        

Colorado St                 Rice

Substitute Navy with Tulane and you're on to something.

I get that all the time up here in Michigan, they get USF and UCF mixed up or it’s just a “what school is that?” If I start with South Florida 75% know it’s the Bulls and Tampa and the other 25% say “that had to be amazing going to school there, why’d you come back?” Haha. South Florida from a marketing standpoint is on a whole other level than USF. 

I agree that it is way easier to brand South Florida and USF only leads to brand confusion. The desire to run from South Florida is based on letting other people define our branding and they are intentionally being disingenuous in their confusion. No one north of I-4 and outside of Florida has any concern for Florida geography.

Did you not but a sign on the wall above your door that says "Believe"?

Who would be our protected cross division rival?
-Cal could be a trophy game. If we win its a Bull market, if they win its a Bear market. AAU nerd bowl type ****

-Stanford is battle of the bays. 

-Colorado State is battle of the "why do these teams always suck even though they burn through cash?" schools

Would have kicked out UAB or FAU for UCONN, but I would take it.

I am okay with no FAU... 

I would rather have UCONN and UNLV

Let's make it happen.

 

It's funny seeing central florida twitter folks rage out over rumors of USF in a new conference.

I believe in things I control, not in people giving no evidence of ability that are unfortunately destroying something I want to enjoy. I think we aren't dynamic, I think we are risk adverse, I think we do not want to be disruptive, I think we are boring, I think we are patient and most unforgiveable of all I think we are completely forgettable which all contributes to why we are slowly disappearing. Having blind faith in people that keep showing you who they are (and it is not successful) is not a good idea even if you want to have a sign above their door that says believe (unless of course you have many doors and want to use it to tell them that's to one they should exit from once they collect their things).

FYI, I was making a reference to your picture and the show. It was supposed to be a joke but I did a terrible job putting that out there.
