USF's League Named "American Athletic Conference"
It's not the worst thing ever. Beats "Big America", doesn't it?
It's not the worst thing ever. Beats "Big America", doesn't it?
Big East football teams meeting in Atlanta Friday to decide what the heck everything will be, how much it'll cost and when it will happen.
Get your Internet streams and digital sports tier channels ready, people. It's going to be a long six years.
How horrible is this potential deal? Really, really horrible. Another testament to the top-notch leadership Doug Woolard has been providing to USF for nine long years!
Oh god, this could be absolutely horrifying.
Why is the USF president always so shocked when realignment goes down? Maybe she should ask the guy who's supposed to be advising her.

Now that USF's athletic department is right back where it was 10 years ago, and seemingly less likely than ever to recover, it's time to blow the whole thing up and try again with new, invested leadership.
Ready for USF to get absolutely hosed by conference realignment? It's becoming more and more possible.
