Important OCS Update

The negative part of what happened in the last week is that us joining the Big 12 at this point has become extremely unlikely.  I know some people might see that as a positive, but I am not one of them.

At the same time other opportunities may open up because of it.

So its hard to say whether what happened in the last week will be a positive or a negative for us.

I guess I used wrong terminology there. When I said affect us negatively, I meant set us back from where we are right now, and what I'm assuming the ocs is being based on. What's happened up to this point may have closed one future door but it hasn't affected where we are right now.

Now if there's some unrelated to college football economic stuff that could paint a different picture (why have to bring poor Jimmy into this??), you got me there ...

For where we are now, no reason to build a stadium.

I think M. Kelly would own up to that.

Where we were 15-18 years ago it made far more sense.  We're trying to catch up, but the train may leave without us.

You don't make investments this large to stay where you're at.

That would be a bit of a heartbreaker to lose it due to complete apathy.

A wise man once said, “What should be done eventually should be done now.”

Waiting for a better time is part of the problem now.

But simultaneously the problem is not knowing what you don't know.  Though some of us were screaming this since the Big East era.

We ran out of them, apparently, a long time ago.  
 

Honestly, the Old Sombrero did not make people think we needed our own stadium as much as Raymond James did. Five minutes in that place you knew you had to get out.

Exactly! So that is why I am optimistic that USF is going to find a good landing spot.

We have roughly 1100 days to get to 3000.
