However, we can not allow any Power 4 team + Notre Dame to dictate that they will only play us at Ray Jay.

If our big games are moved to Ray Jay I  wouldn't see the point of having an OCS.

OCS will equal REVENUE !!!

This is not going to happen.   Not to bring up the clowns to the east, but when UCF plays a big drawing team they do not play at the Citrus Bowl.   They play in their rinky dink bouncehouse stadium.

I guarantee USF has room for seating expansion if USF ever gets a regular sellout at home in the OCS.

Yeah there's really only one game that will have extreme brand name demand in the known future and that's Notre Dame.  I don't see it as a huge factor.

Thought I saw a building at Southern Miss. that had a casino advertisement ... how's 'bout Hard Rock sponsoring for us

Totally disagree.  We should be prepared to play one game every (other) season for the added charm of the recruits that would love to play on the field of the Buccaneers.  I'd play Notre Dame in Tampa Stadium in a heartbeat.  Unless the Glazers and their TSA henchmen continue to screw us over...but that's only common sense.

That's totally fine if that's what we want to do, but it should be through mutual agreement, and should not be dictated by the other party. If that's what's happening in the case of Notre Dame

How about, maybe once every three years.

 

If we are investing in such a major OCS, we need to make use of it every chance that we get. 

 

Someone used the example of ucf (and I would add Cincy and Houston, as well). They play at their stadium. Our should be nicer than all three of them.

We will mutually agree to what they're dictating to us. It's more important to play these teams whenever/wherever we can and if that means playing an occasional game at RayJay, you do it ....
