Hate to say it, but I'd bet their relatively small fanbase is more loyal and supportive than ours.

 

That bet's a lock .... but there's good reason, as PeT alluded to. They've been playing football almost 70 years longer and are on an awesome run of success ...

No question they've had longer to build an appreciation for their recent successes. Our appreciation for success is, unfortunately, after the fact so patience never really had a chance to build.

Further, our best success was no where near as great as the success they have experienced.

In order are the most appealing schools for the next round of expansion:

 

1. BYU

2. Cincinnati

3. USF

4. UConn

5. Boise St

5. ucf

6. Houston

 

Note: I'm not picking a suitor conference therefore location is not considered here.

 

Based on what criteria?

 

 

Who cares?  I just read it on the internet so it must be true!

Just being an objective outsider but, I would think UCF right now would be right up there and not 5th on your list.   Not sure how USF would be 3rd and UCF 5th.  It's a USF board I get it just an outsiders perspective.

ESPN vs Verizon is getting juicier.

Could it be the beginning of the end of ESPN's dominance of tv sports?

Could ESPN simply buy Verizon? They're for sale anyway.

Who do you think is for sale, Disney or Verizon? You would be the only one on the planet thinking this.

Feds wouldn't allow that merger. Too much concentrated power already.

Disney market cap is $186 billion, Verizon is $205 billion. Would be a huge ass company.

    With the climate going on in NCAA athletics, you’re either moving forward at a hard pace or you’re not. I think what intrigued me the most is they’re very determined to become a big player nationally.
