It is definitely a bit of a hodgepodge, but it's still light years better than the AAC. For one thing, it pays at least triple what the AAC pays. ACC might be better, but no one on the BoT is turning down the Big 12 in hopes of getting into the ACC or higher. 

Also, as someone living in Oklahoma, I'd love to have the Bulls playing drivable games for me.

I believe the reason is that the ACC is more likely a landing spot for USF as compared to the Big12. 

I am still salty that they had us do those presentations and then years later skipped out on USF. 

I would take a Big12 invite (but as a stepping stone to the B1G). In the ACC, without Clemson/FSU, it would be an even better Big East conference.

Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't see the Big XII as an attractive option moving forward. I think it's a "hodge-podge" of schools and they're going after quantity to try and seem like a "power conference". ACC would be nice, if it doesn't get picked apart and then backfilled and then it just becomes the best of the G5 conferences. I think our eyes should be focused solely on the B1G. I feel like that is the safest landing spot for the future of our athletics department. Otherwise, it feels like with everyone scrambling it might just be more of the same with a new name and conference patch on the jerseys. 

If USF gets an invite to the B12 you jump on it and say thank you.  Even if it is only a temporary good thing it is better than the AAC.  Sometimes the drunk average girl is better than the dolled up prom queen

Definitely get that fear, I feel the same way. But if they do break away it all depends on how. If they only go with a small breakaway of 30 some odd teams, there's no hope. It's pretty much the current B1G and SEC teams plus ND and 2 to 4 of the top ACC schools. Not much anyone can really do, the lines are already drawn and it's too late to change our value at this point. In fact I feel the top teams in the P2 would probably shed a few of their own if they could. But if they break away as the P4 and not just P2, then that's completely doable. USF just needs to get into either the ACC or Big 12.

Problem is the alumni and supporters of those 30 teams won’t like it when half the league has a losing record and their team is a loser.  Much better to have 60 teams so those 30 can feel good about themselves every season

I too have made this point.  They feed off of cupcakes.  Bama is hoping we are that very cake.

They will have their cake and will eat it too.  This has the potential to be bad, the matchups are awful.  I understand where we are and love CAG, but this should get ugly, be prepared and accept this and move on to So miss.

Makes sense. P2 would end up with perennial loser blue bloods if isolating themselves from the rest of college football.

Hey. As long as USF learns from the experience on the road & gets better then I am good with whatever happens tomorrow. Both road games at Bama & So Miss are going to be tough imo. USF should become stronger from these next two games on the road.

I know I am a Debbie downer on this one, but it is a mismatch of epic proportions.  Either way, am I the only one getting tired of this new era.  The NFL game is streaming, they can suck my peacock and Direct tv has blocked the CFB viewing options.  Basically I am stuck watching the Leathernecks of Macomb IL, taking on the Hoosiers of Bloomington, In.  in a blowout of a  FCs vs FBs.  My viewing is a
