Just a reminder once again...

There are only 2 teams in all of college football that were once in a Px/BCS conference and are not in one now:  USF and UConn.  Wash St and Oregon St will join this pity party soon.  We can hash over the past and bad decisions but need to find a way forward to not be left out of the substantial tv money in the next network/streaming deals.  I like what we're doing with the OCS, facilities and getting back to winning form, but will it be enough?

Who knows in an era of consolidation!  But then I look at what we offer and of course our geography and think to myself...aren't we a steal?  Who's going to be the lucky conference to get us?

I checked his account, and it all looks like unbiased objective statements to me.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

eventually programs will be paid out individually based on the number of streaming subscriptions their fans buy. similar to mlb and their local tv rights.

Eventually the vandys and northwesterns of the world will be left behind financially just as the rays are left behind by the dodgers/yankees/ etc.

I think all the smaller programs clamoring for an invite will be disappointed to find no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

the free money train is ending and the live sports bubble is bursting. Just look at the diamond sports bankruptcy. amazon is picking up the streaming rights for 40 professional league teams for peanuts on the dollar.

geography doesn't mean anything anymore.

how many subscriptions you can sell is all that matters now.

I would subscribe to a USF channel if it guaranteed a spot for me to watch USF sports.

Yup. Pretty much what we are hoping for. USF & UConn have the edge out of everyone else for the ACC invites once FSU leaves. Tulane & Memphis probably follow if ACC wants more schools imo

Yes absolutely. Fairly priced of course.  I wouldn't need espn plus or youtube tv anymore which I have solely for USF games. Would save about 90 dollars.

The ACC Network will help solve some of that

I agree with you on this, but everyone is just trying to loot the corpse before the laws of economics kick in.  

Not to mention playing better teams...

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
