It is quiet around us!  

Going to be funny to see all those so called experts freak out once we see USF get the invite.

How many times have you posted something from the WVU conspiracy theorist?

He never did say to put stock in them, though ....

Thanks! And during the previous years BCAG ( Before Coach Alex Golesh) we had a lot of chicken littles running around so I was trying to change that narrative anyway I could. Now USF is back on track with both revenue sports which makes things much more enjoyable during the down times. I’m still going to find more conference realignment crazy rumors but will continue to post on that probably titled conference realignment threads. Sign that said I’m still going to be biased towards USF and try to spin any negative rumors and spread the positive rumors on that thread regarding USF lol

The other option is that FSU stays in the ACC and stops whining because next year 12 teams get in to the playoffs. All they've really done in the last couple months is create a lot of enemies with their conference mates lol. Florida doesn't want them in the SEC, because of recruiting. B1G doesn't want them because of their low academic standards. Funny stuff.

FSU academically is ahead of USF in most measures. We do have AAU which is a big deal, and is largely about research (other things too). 

While it is possible them stay, either because they are stuck, or because the ACC finds away to be more attractive to their top teams, it seems more likely that divorce is coming.

When it comes to Florida expansion for the B1G, Tampa/Miami makes far more sense than Tallahassee. If we can really continue to excel these next 3 years while FSU is in their legal battle - why wouldn't USF become a viable target for the B1G? Ultimately I think the best case scenario for USF is that FSU lawsuit takes a couple of years, USF (obviously) continues to win in media draw sports, we win our conference at least once in both sports, flirt with or make the CFP, FSU settles for a sum that no other ACC school can handle in the short term, and then FSU goes to the SEC and is paired with Kansas. This will not only open the door for USF to the ACC, potentially become a player for the B1G, remove the top remaining brand from the B12, stabilize the ACC further until nearly 2036, and (hopefully) increase support across the board for USF from fans, alumni, and local business alike.

The thinking is ... by adding FSU you also add Tampa, Jacksonville, Orlando . . .  People watch FSU across the state.

People barely watch USF in Tampa.  (Winning will fix that.)

Even the great ones make terrible mistakes.  People will be guided to the light.

WOW. That took a ton of thought. And special logic. The kind of logic you get from the expensive stuff on the side of a mountain in Colorado, watching the sun go down, and come back up again.

 

Fun to read though.
