Marketing and Culture.   UCF had a vision of what they wanted their program to be and marketed their size, youth and location in "America's Vacation Land" or something like that.  They had UCFast.  The B12 does not give hoot about academics and they never worried about that. We floundered in Big East memories and Judy's shortsightedness (athletically, facilities and branding) while they won conference championships.     

Their budget stadium created a new football culture for them.  Students tailgating, Alumni on campus.  Hate it or not the term bounce house has gotten them recognition which while not always flattering, is a form of identity.   Their identity reeks of truck stop conference and they don't care, I think they even embrace it. They are a fit for the B12.   Would USF even fit that conference? 

Here is my worry.  What is USF's identity? What makes USF attractive to a new conference? Yeah, yeah, Florida, AAU, new stadium coming online.    How are we being marketed to stand out?  What makes USF exciting?  I am not so sure that USF has the luxury of sitting back on an AAU designation hoping that another conference will see that as a deciding factor for realignment. USF has to win the conference and show excitement for the program whether that is a against Alabama or Rice or Charlotte. 

Potential. Just need to realize it instead of just having it.

AAU has been realized on the education side and now we desperately need it athletically.

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.

Yahoo is terrible lol. Common sense tells us all that FSU won’t be paying a hefty penny to exit the ACC just to join a western conference. And I thought my predictions were wild lol
