I wonder how much our smaller-sport achievements contributed to Harlan's appointment to the Competition committee that will oversee those sports? Maybe that's a sign of hope...

It helps! I am telling you that the BIG 12 is on hold right now until USF gets football back in gear. They need USF back in top 15 and averaging 50 to 60k. Also the OCS proposal will help.

Win big over a period of time (Five years) and it will solve itself

Like Boise State?

Or Syracuse?

Actually The Cuse has been doing quite well the last 5 years (minus last year). Several 8 win seasons with bowl wins over KState, MinniSoda, and Whet Virginia.

 

The 5 years leading up to their invite they were 21-40 ....

3 winning seasons last 5 years and 3 big bowl wins to go with it. Pitt seems to be crappier than Cuse

 

 

Are ya dense, lad?? Cuse's last 5 years don't mean squat in this conversation about conference realignment. They lost 8 or more games in 4 of the 5 years leading up to their ACC invite. BSU and SU are prime examples of why winning big over a period of 5 years doesn't mean doodly as a driving force in movin' on up in conferences.

The Big 12 doesn't care about USF and doesn't want to expand and Pitt didn't need an OCS proposal.

Pitt is not in the BIG 12. They are in ACC. ACC will never look at USF as long as FSU & Miami are members. A OCS proposal will happen whether you like it or not.

USF is only a blip on the radar periphery right now, but I'm thinking it's because of our small sports that we're even ON the radar. That, and our "school" stuff like medical research, etc.

We are in the AAC for many, many years. Folks need to get used to it.

If we brought Florida TVs to the table, the Big12 would be all over us.  Sadly, we do not.
