Here's what a poster called HeadsetGuy posted on the CSN site.  I have not been able to verity this.

 

RE: Sun Herald: Could Big 12 expansion send USM to AAC?

Now SI is getting into the talk...they have 5. BYU, 4. Memphis 3. Houston 2. Cincinnati and laughingly 1. USF

The bold play I think for the Big XII is go ahead and get 4 teams (the report said their analytics researched up to 16 teams).

For funsies I'll have them taking Cincy, Houston UCF and USF

This will give all the P5 the membership they want (for a while); the MAC AAC CUSA and Sunbelt then could reconstitute logically.

Zero % chance of logic breaking out.

Could you imagine the meltdown in Storrs if your funsies happened?

Maybe we can write up a template that we can all copy and paste to send to Harlan?

 

Dear Harlan,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am a little concerned that nothing is being done about trying to ...

Dear Harlan,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am a little concerned that nothing is being done about trying to ...

 

...demand that we, the University of South Florida, start receiving revenue equal or greater to the University of Texas, University of Oklahoma, Florida State University, the University of Miami, and many other football programs we have earned the right to be on par with. You may not know this as the Athletic Director of a Division 1 university, but there are currently 5 conferences that make more money than the rest and wield more influence over the rest of the Football Bowl Subdivision than the others. These so-called Power Five have been unfairly trying to secure more money and exposure for themselves and have little to no interest in giving it to those outside those who they deem worthy. Consider this letter a call to action. I demand that you immediately inform the Big 12 that USF should be included in their upcoming conference expansion. This is a very serious matter and your lack of public discourse on USF's inclusion in the Big 12 strikes me as a sign of incompetence. I, as a graduate of USF, deserve to know every single thing you are currently doing to force the Big 12 to offer us membership and any silence on your part will be taken as a sign of your lack of knowledge on the matter and its significance to the athletic program going forward. 

Sincerely,

Sent and I signed it "Ticketless!" as I'm sure my ticket renewal will be denied upon receipt.

I'm going to pretend you're drunk and think these people you're reading have actual information guiding their articles.

Tweaked it just a little because if you have no financial stake right now, you shouldn't have a voice ..... Plus, although you intimated it fairly well, more bluntness about his job being on the line could be a motivator.
