thread...to whittle together fantasy conferences with your favorite teams and then cost justify it with voodoo economics.

You would he surprised to know how many legitimate operations run this way.  The key is to just pay a consultant to recommend it.

20 years in IT @ CGI, AT&T and Nielsen Media Research. Not sure 'surprised' is the right word, more like 'painfully aware'.

I'm pretty sure UCF even told recruits we were Big East bound well before we eventually got invited to the Big East/AAC.

I distinctly remember talk about UCF recruits being told about an impending move upward before anything was announced. What I don't remember is whether it was the BE or B12, but what matters is it actually DID happen no matter which time it was. It's happening, baby .......!!

Per a google search (AI Overview):

In May 2024, The Athletic reported that Florida State University (FSU) and Clemson were expected to inform the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) of their intentions to leave by August 15, 2024.

USF has more than just football and basketball to offer in next round of realignment

We won’t have actual football to talk about for about seven more weeks, but the whistle never blows on that ever-popular game of Realignment Roulette. Who’s up?

The Bulls were justifiably left behind when the Big 12 took UCF in the last round of realignment. USF’s football stunk, and their facilities were well below par.

A lot has happened since then.

A fact that isn’t getting the outside attention it should is that should is that USF is now one of only 69 universities in the United States accredited by the prestigous Association of American Universites. Neither Clemson, FSU, nor UCF can make that claim and, after all, colleges do exist to provide an education.

The Big 12 could swoop in and take USF for several reasons. UCF’s closest Big 12 neighbor is Houston – about 850 miles away. USF is 90 miles from UCF, which means teams could double up on baseball, softball, and other trips to Florida.

If the Atlantic Coast Conference remains largely intact, USF would also be a great fit there. The Bulls already have a history with several ACC teams.

Regurgitating the same talking points. We can brag about AAU all we want, but we havent won anything that matters.

I always look to Rutger's as an example when I want to give myself hope of movement that's not based on winning.
