Okay, so what's your backup solution if no FBS opponents can fill an open date? Not saying I want to load up on FCS opponents, I'm just asking.

Task Force Recommended these organization receive funding:
- Orange County Convention Center
- Florida Citrus Sports
- Amway Center
- Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts
- UCF Sports
That's 1 hurdle passed....
Next Step:
Quote:These are just recommendations, as the Orange County Commission will have a final say on who gets the money and how much they will receive.
Only 2 of the 7 Commissioners have direct ties to UCF.

I would be nice to get a big enough chunk of money to get expansion rolling along faster.
