Expanding your footprint in Florida is always a good thing for the conference and recruiting. Additionally, the USF-UCF rivalry could really gain some national attention. They would be a solid addition that could potentially flourish under AQ status. I have been arguably the pickiest poster when it comes to expansion...I was not in favor of adding KSU, BU, and ISU even though a significant portion of BE fans would disagree. However, desperate times call for desperate measures and now that the remainder of the BE will be forced to merge with the Big 12, schools like UCF, ECU, Houston, Boise, and BYU suddenly become attractive. It's like your at a bar at the end of the night and you just wanna get laid so you take what you can get.

Let's not forget Temple.

BE fans need a football team in Pennsylvania now that Pitt picked up and left. We can offer them a state of the art venue in the middle of one of America's greatest cities and one of the 10 winningest basketball programs of all-time.
