Let's make the tradition on campus a party that people are interested in going to.

For sure, we need that for fans for sure, the winning culture for our players.

Man, woke up this morning, got into work, and just logging in here on my lunch. What a busy day on these boards!

Looks like SMU is leaving and getting paid in exposure? USF is still in the AAC (along with Memphis/Tulane). The PAC is officially dead?

I agree it’s a loss, BUT, we are in no way shape or form ready for the ACC. We need to build a culture of winning and that can happen easier in our current conference while still having access to the CFP. Hopefully in 4-6 years we will have a conference championship, a CFP appearance and OCS; then we will be ready for the move. We can’t afford to go to the ACC for free right now. 

I 100% agree we can't offer what SMU did. SMU had the resources are were smart enough to use them. We are not rich or smart, when it comes to Athletics. 

Not sure there will be an opening for us in 4-6 years. We **** the bed at the wrong time. Judy G is to blame for this ****** athletic program.

FSU Clemson made themselves enemies.  Maybe they should keep diluting their vote and try to screw them over in any way possible.

That is the byproduct of realignment.  Does seem worse for the leftovers.

Be patient.  This is far from over.  The ACC or BIG12 will both be courting us at some point AND/OR the PAC2 will join the AAC/MWC or whatever.  No matter how you slice it this is not done and we are too valuable a TV market and a high quality institution to be left behind forever.  It is very dynamic.

sad thing is we also have no real rival. Atleast with UCF we had 1 game to really look forward to each year. I guess we can be rivals with FAU. I'm gonna go ask for some anti depressants now.
