I think if the B10 invited us it would be a boon for the school, the athletic program and the area.  Our attendance would go through the roof.

Maybe after 5-10 years we can ask for a full share.  

Yeah we would definitely make up for it.  Transplant attendance would be high as well.

Trip, what page number is it for us?  Sounds like someone is stuffing the page count box?  

I'd be alright being the Big 10's Vanderbilt, just not for nine decades

ACC would be more fun certainly if it could mostly stay together.  But this way we would get 80 gabillion dollars.

It would catapult our research and academics to the moon.  Athletically we would get pounded until our recruiting caught up - which it would rapidly but would take a few years to build the needed depth.

Gameday on campus would be insane.  One down side, there might be more B10 fans than USF fans at some games.

I wanted to boost this theory.  With that B1G tag, we already have the best recruiter as an HC under contract.  He would give everyone a run for their money.  He's already got the top G5 class in one year.

In. 35k stadium, we’d have A LOT of sell outs. 

Actual scarcity of tickets will further drive demand.

 

I think we should experiment and keep the stadium small.

Because I check about once a day or so, there are often quite a few replies before I check.

So I have seen "duplicate pages" MANY times in the past few months.  Figured it was a glitz in the matrix.

Some of these contracts are insane.

 

Nice to hear USF more value to BIG 10 than FSU. 
 

I wonder how long these contracts are good for. There is market size, but then from the media side, there is actual viewership which the networks sell for advertising dollars. 
 

Market size doesn’t necessarily translate to viewers. 
 

Arguable FSU makes more viewers, so is more valuable to the network, but if the Big 10 contract they have to pay by market size, not viewership, then what’s good for big 10 and good for the network might be misaligned.

That's interesting.  I've always felt that if we had a deal in hand we would modify it slightly to fill it in the gaps or something.  You aren't wrong though it would be a very hot ticket.
