Argh. Academically we are not on even footing with UCF. The endowment and research expenditures are not even in the same ballpark, literally.

Regardless, we're essentially even.

If you believe these "rankings" and that BYU won't join B12, or the ridiculous notion that they'll take SDSU (creating eastern and western islands) then one of us is going with UC someday. If you think they go 14, it probably means Tulane in addition to the aforementioned 3.

That said, I think B12 lowers it's prestige so much by adding USF and Tulane (unfortunate but true) that it'd forego a championship game completely rather than make that move.

Scratching my head a bit on research expenditures...

Yes the data is a year old, but we grew in 2013 and 2014 so far

Edit: maybe I read it wrong; did you mean to say we were blowing out UCF? May have been a better way to start.

That's what I took it as him saying

...But then again, I'm pretty familiar with the data

Any more news on how the AAC attempt to renegotiate the TV contract is going?

No

I used to work at USF for a few years a while back.

Worked in IT covering lots of areas (including some in the park.)

 

It kind of reminds me of the Janitor in The Breakfast Club "...We are the eyes and ears of this institution my friend."

I work at a college as a janitor even though I feel like I'm smarter than most of the people who go there. Sometimes I see an equation written on a blackboard like half an equation and... I just figure it out.

^^^^^. Boom!

UCF and USF will never be a package deal...

 

If we keep betting on that ... they will leave us behind.

 

 

Good programs can stand on their own.
