I really feel good about expansion/realignment now. 

A year ago, we were hopeful but really only had 2 things:

Tampa's market

Potential

 

One year later we have:

Turned around football program. 

Dominant bowl win over P4 program. 

Best G5 recruiting class. 

AAU Status

Turned around basketball prgram. 

Signature basketball win over top 10 program on national tv. 

Tampa's market

Potential

 

Bring it on. 

 

 

And who knows, maybe we’ll land Karter Knox. Don’t think for a second he isn’t paying attention to his brother’s team and what we are becoming. He can play 1 season with his brother Kobe, win a conference championship, make a run in the NCAA tournament and then declare for the NBA draft. Would be a momentous shift in the USF Matrix.

Yes.  Right up there with the squeaky wheel gets the oil.   Should we be more vocal about our goals for expansion?

What the ACC will look like: Cal, Stanford, SMU, Boston College, Clemson, Duke, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Louisville, Miami, North Carolina, NC State, Notre Dame (non-football), Pittsburgh, Syracuse, Virginia, Virginia Tech, Wake Forest

Why the moves? There is palpable concern among some prominent ACC members about how much money they can make in this market, and the conference responded by adding teams that will, in turn, raise more money from ESPN, which the league will direct towards those schools in the hopes that it can quell the rebellion. Cal and Stanford needed an escape hatch out of the disintegrating Pac-12, and SMU wanted to get into the Power Five, even if it means not making any more money for the first few years. Plus, the ACC moves into prominent media markets in San Francisco and the Metroplex.

More from the article above:

Big 12

Who's coming in? Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Colorado

Who's leaving? Texas, Oklahoma

What the Big 12 will look like: BYU, Houston, Cincinnati, UCF, TCU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, Kansas, Kansas State, Baylor, Iowa State, West Virginia, Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, Colorado

Why the moves? After the bombshell announcement that Texas and Oklahoma were leaving for the SEC in time for the 2024 college football season, the Big 12 got aggressive from the jump, adding the three former AAC programs and BYU, and then again this offseason by plucking four Pac-12 brands from the Four Corners to expand into all four time zones.

So they grew by 6 with UCF on an island.  They have used their pro rata additions so not sure what happens.  But they would make room for FSU, right!
