Maybe Stanford and SMU are propping them up? Also, which person was lobbying for them again? Oliver Luck, George Bush, or Condoleeza Rice?

Who is our most famous/wealthy alumni that isn’t embarrassed to be affiliated with us?

Um not much fire power here.  We'd need some non-alums willing to step up for Tampa Bay like Vinik, Glazer (I know he would rather push Tulane), Sternberg, Dungy, +++.

Where does all this money come from?  

In the case of SMU, oil. In the case of Stanford, tech. In the case of USF, restaurants and strip clubs!

At least we're diversified...

Soo when will this big update happen?

Anyone know? I don't even see any cryptic tweets going. 

Guys I need another hit of realignment rumors to get me through the day!

I'm pretty sure USF didn't "willingly drop down." And in any case, it's this kind of thinking that makes me really hate CFB. There's lots to love, but also lots to hate. 

I'm not embarrassed that USF is in the AAC. Do I wish they were in a better conference? Sure, but really only because there's this strain of weird elitism involved in CFB, and I want whatever is best for USF. When I push away from the desk and really think about it, it all makes me feel kind of dirty. If Stanford/Cal/SMU are that desperate to avoid us, I'm not sure I really want to share a conference with them anyways. Good luck in the ACC.

I don't understand why folks follow CFB at all if they take such a dim view of their schools. USF started in 1956. Football started in 1997 (I was there). They've come a very long way in a relatively short amount of time. I'm proud of my school. In that sense, I don't care what stupid football conference they're in. 

You do you of course. Those are my two cents. I think I'm going to check out of this realignment thread for a while. Good luck everyone and #GoBulls!

I will miss your posts.  I get it though.

Admittedly, my Japanese is a little rusty, but here is a rough translation:

"Looking at Mhver and OS_Beaver's recent tweets, I can only feel their desperation... Lies are solidified with lies, and it's hard to tell what's true and what's false. If you pretend to be a college football insider, why don't you put fraudulent or beggar in front of the college football insider first? It's the only truth and there are no lies...

A school of the people. A school with culture.

Is it time to blow up the whole system and start over? 

And the new PAC can start it.

End the idea of scholarships and just pay players of all ages to come to your school.  No HS diploma necessary.  NIL and contract salary only - from the school and it's well compensated administrators/coaches.  Sort of a good old they/them club. 

No classes, just stay out of jail and rehab.  Break all the other rules - a Ted Nugent inspired free for all.   Let's let "college football" kind of lead our society to the bottom.  

It's still "exploitation", but who cares?

Stop relying on the pockets of alums to fuel this wayward train.  We'll be busy with the NFL or Pickleball, Ax-wielding and cornhole.
