Boren: "You’ve got to make Texas financially whole. You can’t expect them to give up $15 million.” Well, there it is.

Yup, and even then you have to hope they would want to share a conference with the potential" riff raff" coming in from the G5. I think in the end the big 12 resembles the AAC more than the current big 12....

The hire came out of nowhere (with most thinking Babers was in) but I don't recall reading media outlets calling Frost "out of UCF's league." It's definitely a clean reset with a new AD, uniforms, scheme, et all, but reboots don't happen overnight. I'm not understanding the obsession with spring game attendance this year; it's never been a factor in the past. 

Ambien may be right.  I think "out of UCF's league" is implied for any coach they hire outside of O'Leary.

UCONN using the same strategy as USF???

UCONN using the same strategy yet they are mentioned consistently as a candidate.

If USF gets passed over during the next round of realignment....Judy and Harlan will have to answer for setting this university back.

Well UCONN brings strong hoops teams, and while it's not the biggest draw, they have pretty much a dynasty going at women's hoops. And the men have a title still in everyone's memory. That can make up for a mediocre football team to some id guess. They'd be my first choice in a vacuum, but since we don't live in a vacuum, I'd just say they're a strong choice if they do head past the Mississippi for schools. BYU and Boise would still make a ton of sense of them however, unless they see something tangible w recruiting and 'vacation trips' to come here, watch OK State play USF, then head to the beach for the weekend. Our men's hoops team is more of a hinderance than an asset right now, and despite having no reason, being in Tampa, to have an average baseball team, somehow every coach after Eddie Cardieri has proceeded to do just that. 

So if they are content to stay average to bad at the other attention getting sports, the football team is going to need to have a season like Houston just did, and fast.

No expansion is actually good news for both USF & UCF!! Gives us time to keep building. USF has a ton of work to do on building a fan base. Good luck to all.

This would be great news for USF & UCF if tomorrow we don't hear the opposite.
