Conference realignment "Rumors" "tweets" "etc"

[Bull Matrix]

Pretty much the majority of the speculators believe USF is getting an ACC invite. And with a lot of the staff on USF having ACC ties I would be shocked if it doesn’t happen.

Just our luck, the ACC gets poached and they merge with the Pac 6.

These mergers never seem to happen though...

Beggars can’t be choosers. As long as we improve our current situation (not hard) and are not bound for life contractually, you take whatever offer is made (after ensuring it’s the best you are doing to do at that time). Waiting around for a better offer that might happen at this juncture is crazy.

Yeah we're in a bad place right now.

We really screwed ourselves following the prestigious AAU status.

Man it's frustrating fighting for relevancy when it feels that everyone around us is on their A game.

P.S. don't sleep on the SBC, Tx State and J McCloud are looking good.

it starts with reviewing whatever media deal is on the table and the big question re: playoff access (and the alleged 5 auto bid structure remaining)

I am assuming that the if we join the PAC, Memphis and Tulane would as well. Same way our attendance rose exponentially when we were in the Big East there would be an exponential increase in our attendance in the PAC.

Our attendance had a minimal rise when we first entered the Big East. The big jump came when we made noise nationally ...

Bottom line, though, we're not going to be trying to fill RayJay and unless we get into a P2, the attendance will be determined primarily by how we're doing, not who we're playing.

You take what you get can get and for the last 10 years of this realignment crap, it’s been squat for USF. Big Ten isn’t calling us up (this is absolute fanboy fantasy) and the ACC is the next conference to implode like the PAC-12. The market has spoken at every round of realignment and says USF’s place is in the third tier of FBS. I just don’t see that changing. 

[Gismo]

These teams in the PAC-12 were already playing each other on the schedule. Shouldn’t impact SOS or highest ranked conference champ much. 
 

now if they take AAC teams, then that changes.

If the ACC implodes, like the PAC, the conference will still want to maintain the name with the remnants. I cant see GT, Duke, BC, etc joining a west coast league. They dont need to. They can backfill with the same quality, regionally level of teams. That should he our move if it happens. Some worthy brands to bond with and gives us a chance to build ourselves up without the sky miles.
