We need salary caps or something or it's all basically a joke.

same can (and has) easily happen to dead weight of a conference if they reorganize.

Wait a minute... I was onboard and agreeing until you called us dead weight. How dare you!

We could be a great backfill for the ACC.  

We've seen the top dogs sabotage conferences on the way out.  It's an interesting business case.

I’m so ready for the season to start. Over all this expansion talk.

Well not yet. We need all these super conferences to collapse. Then hopefully teams will be going back to more regional conferences. That would be the best outcome that will probably save college athletics…

I am too but I won’t enjoy it as much unless we start seeing USF win

I told you several weeks ago, USF was wanted by no one, wasn't going anywhere, and will remain in an AAC like conference.  I still believe that to be true.  I've accepted that.

However, I do have a question.  Why isn't USF trying to SMU their way into the ACC or another power conference?

SMU is offering to not receive TV revenue for 7 years.  Notice, that this is NOT offering to receive no revenue, only no TV revenue.  SMU will receive revenue from other ACC income such as NCAA tournament credits, bowl revenue, etc. that will probably be near what they currently make in the AAC.  For the sake of argument, let's say SMU still receives 10M a year in non TV revenue from the ACC.  

Why can't USF offer the ACC to take no TV revenue for 8 years, one upping SMU?  USF would then live of the "other" ACC income, basically taking somewhere in line what they are currently getting in the AAC (around 8-9M a year), in exchange for being in a power conference.

My idea is for USF to not take any TV revenue for 8 years, which would be around 30-35M, and have those funds diverted to other in state programs, FSU and Miami, to secure their votes.

Has any at USF even tried to come up with a similar plan and pitch an SMU type plan to ACC, or are they all just sitting around on their *****.

SMU is getting the job done.  USF has no plan to get out of the AAC, and that is why I have no faith that they ever will.

outside of a few deep pocket boosters the students and locals don't really support SMU.

But they have an OCS.  Wait, wrong thread.

Ok I will ask you the same question as I did for others. How in the hell do you know all this inside information?? So you know for sure that USF didn’t give their goods away for free like SMU??
