what would be a terrible outcome for USF…PAC2 reforms conference with best of MWC and AAC as far East as Tulane (Tulane, Memphis, may be a Texas team or 2). 

Hmmm...odd that this would be 'terrible' for USF. If it is your opinion that USF will eventually, someday - not any day soon - wind up in the ACC, how does a PAC, reconstituted via the MWC & perhaps Tulane & UTSA/RICE bode poorly for U of SF? Not seeing the connection. The only way it could possibly be bad for U of SF is if you're clamoring for the next available P(x) slot, regardless of conference. Is that the case, or do we not want to bide our time until the ACC invite...

We've been bide-ing a long time.  We have our doctorate in biding.

Saw someone (Stewart Mandel of the Athletic - whoever he is) spitballing what would be a terrible outcome for USF…

I'm glad people are out there riffing on different terrible outcomes for us!

You may have me mixed up for someone else, not your fault - I have a pretty generic user name. I’m personally not in the ACC is our destiny camp…too much passivity hoping something lucky breaks your way. Fact is, FSU is making noise because they can’t get out; otherwise, they would have already gotten out. If that happens, some time before 2036, as people have said, UM may block USF. 
 

I’m in the get a seat at the (power) table anyway possible camp. So a reconstituted PAC with top AAC but without USF, would mean the AAC just dropped down another notch (team make-up wise). The reformed PAC of best G5s seems like our last best chance for a while, perhaps long while.

Yes get money if possible.  ACC would be ideal but who knows if that will even line up.

Why does USF always get screwed in every realignment scenario? Would be nice if VP Michael Kelly would finally work his connections!

I guess that is why this thread is 3395 pages and continuing to power on!

Let's say the stadium gets final approval and we start winning again this year, maybe we would not be so screwed.

Haha. To clarify, the terrible outcome was my take on his reconstituted PAC theory. He wasn’t specifically singling USF out, the idea just happened to leave USF out because of geography. He was speculating that AAC teams from Tulane west would be a better make-up for a conference.

It's possible no one knows we exist again until the Alabama game.

This is longest domino game ever for VP Michael Kelly

USF Athletics is such a dumpster fire!
