Syracuse with a recognizable name brand

BINGO!! It’s all about branding!! UCF created a “brand” with the fake Natty, hash tags, ESPN+ mini series, signing Jordan’s son, Keeping Nike even tho they weren’t making much money, etc. not saying they did it right, but they got their name out there however possible, AND started winning to boot. That has been our failure besides losing. The reason WSU and OSU are not even discussed with the ACC is that they have a very weak brand (even tho they are starting in the top 25).

Looks like SEC & Big Ten are warning big 12 to stay out of their way lol

Reminds me of refs in professional wrestling.

Calling what they had a “brand” is a slap in the face to programs that had spent a helluvalot longer developing theirs. UCF is there because of the winning they did the last decade …. and they’re there probably in spite of their “brand”.

Not saying you are wrong but I know what he is talking about.  They were the most hated team by SEC fans for awhile because they were relentless about getting their name out there.  They challenged the idea that even the last place SEC team was better than anyone else and SEC fanboys despised them for it.   I knew it was bad when I happened to tune in to the Dave Ramsey show and he mentioned them to a Florida caller as an affordable option for her staying out of debt.  I knew all of their relentless, in your face comments had made an impact (right or wrong).

Exactly. And given that Cincy was left behind that time even despite their history, there realistically just wasn't anything USF could have done differently. Not unless you built 2 stadiums and went to like 5 BCS bowls in your 8 years in the Big East or something insane like that lol

I think if we had built on the '07 run to #2 and invested in football there would have been a case. Following up Leavitt with the Skip Holtz disaster and Judy leaving Athletics in the hands of Doug Woolard ensured that never happened.

Yeah that and Louisville had Papa John bankrolling them.

They had Papa John bankrolling them, but Louisville was also a very strong, well-rounded athletic department at the time they were invited.

By SEC and Big Ten they actually mean ESPN and FOX.
