Worried the horrible basketball facilities and program along with fan support not being great are going to leave us in the worst fbs conference in the endPosted On: Sep 13th 2021, 7:17 AM #403309
Think this is spot on – football wise with facilities we make sense, except for the fan support. That and non-football program/facilities will knock us down. However, if we can sell them on potential and they see the value in two Florida schools, guess there is a chance.Posted On: Sep 13th 2021, 6:21 PM #403325
On the flip side all of the real competition leaves and we’re definitely the big fish in the smallest of FBS ponds

Nobody is going to care if we stomp the 7 dwarfs on Facebook or stadium.

Why don't they drive some stakes in the ground, stretch some flagging tape between them, pour some chalk lines in various places and for the next 10 years tell guests and recruits this is where the new auditorium will go. It worked for the football stadium.

Lol 7 dwarfs. I’m not saying this is the ideal scenario. It’s not. Ideally we’re called up to the AAC but let’s be realistic. Are we really THAT attractive of a draw for what the AAC expects? I don’t know. Which is why I’m saying we might have to get used to being the kings of C-USA

S. Fl market to be a pair w/ USF, S. Fl recruiting area, S. Fl media market to replace Orlando….. the usual positives. W are favored in some projections.

I am optimistic that our leadership are making the calls, Brian is speaking with AAC AD’s and the Commissioner, President Kelly with AAC University Presidents and so on. There is a reason why we announced all these recent donations to Athletics, future renovations to the baseball facilities, the new locker rooms going up at burrow and others.
Great points, makes sense and seems to indicate they are doing what they can.

Written from a cusa point of view where we've combined for the last 4 football titles so I'm not surprised
My worry is our baseball and especially basketball facilities are garbage. I've seen high school gyms better than our basketball arena.
There has to be progress made to fix this and a one million dollar gift for baseball alone won't do that . Fan support is another concern but facilities are the biggest thing that will be at fault if we are left behind with the leftovers

maybe we can work out some sort of deal where getting in is contingent on upgrading the non football facilities are within 5 years or so. idk just thinking outside the box. we can also keep the Shula Bowl annual for OUR body bag game 🤣🤣🤣
