3 time zones and the biggest remaining names/brands in the G5. Do you think SJSU, UAB and Charlotte are worth as much to a provider as USF, Memphis, and Boise State? 

Biggest remaining means little.

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.

To be fair @BullyPulpit I wouldn't turn on a game for any of the "new" PAC teams just like I wouldn't turn on a game of any of our current conference mates.  Maybe others would.  They're all in the same bucket to me.  Mountain West teams?  No one east of the Mississippi cares.  No one east of Boise Idaho cares.  Perhaps some folks in remote parts of California care in between other things.

Sorry it has been proven.  This is not the way.  You take whatever step up you are given.  And then you win there.  Stadiums don't matter, AAU does not matter, media markets hardly matter any more, winning OOC games does not matter.  Conference championships matter, undefeated seasons matter, stands filled with excited fans no matter who the opponent is matters, branding matters.  Liberty could pass us because we are too proud to admit that their scheduling is smarter than ours.  They win a championship and go undefeated because their OOC games are easy.  Their fans are excited about playing where they do.  They went to an NY6 game.  We crow because we gave Bama a game for 3 quarters and then we lose by more than 3 touchdowns.  Sorry I am just fed up with the passive we are too good attitude. This program needs a revival.  We need to stop sitting on our hands. Right now people are talking of Tulane and Memphis (not us) going to a crappy PAC12 rather than stay in the AAC and somehow we are convinced that we will be lifted up in some sort of devine intervention that recognizes us as being worthy of a B10 invite?   Are you happy with the waiting game?  How has that played out so far? SMU was brilliant.  They took action.  It will cost them, and they have suffered a ration of crap as a result,  but in the long run will pay dividends. 

Sorry, this latest realignment has me more despondent than ever.   

Unfortunately, this is spot on!

 

Our history since 2018 has been horrible. Like worse than horrible. On paper, we looked like UCONN. 

 

We were winning "well" at a higher level (Big East); but, failed to secure a championship in a downgraded AAC. 

 

USF needs to win the conference this year. And hopefully, next year as well. If that happens, and Golesh is hired away; then USF needs to find an exact match to the players were currently have. No room for a Charlie Strong mistake. That ALONE cost us the Big12 invite.

I don't know if I agree with that.  It's clear what the potential is now and these leaders making the decisions can see a market analysis.

I haven't spent any time on this and I posted my agreement with @Cubanbull in his post ten pages ago....we should go only if we can leave at a moment's notice for free.  Not sure that would be the offer.   And even so, it seems like we're leaving the wreck of the AAC for a PAC lifeboat with holes in it, hoping to leap to a potential Titanic in the form of the decimated ACC.  

Sweet!

Not even God could sink that one.

winning a single FBS game 2020-2022 and faceplanting 2018-2020 resulting in coaching changes meets the "not good" standard pretty squarely. 😂  i can imagine a better ~6 year stretch

    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.
