Wtf, 17,000 tv viewers? We had 2x that just in the Bounce House
Lowest ratings of the week! #bullsPeedahead
The only media discussing them is the ESPN Bottom 10 guy.
I did see them mentioned on the On3 podcast today......only because Brown is about to hit the portal to NC St.
That’s more people than was at the game 😂 funny thing is they will blame Charlotte for this. Troy and S Miss nearly doubled them hahaha this is funny.

This was the prgram who bragged about havibg better attendance numbers than ucf after they sold out rayjay for bama. Funny how those averagea went way down once they began their sunbelt conference schedule
Everyone tuned in on tv just to see USF. Wonder what happened when they played Charlotte. 15K Charlotte fans watched.
Yeah, 17k viewers…..but yet according to the myopian fanbase it is the school all P5 leagues are fighting over. And after qualifying for a Bowl game for the first time in like a decade, the myopian fever is rampant on the crap pen…..and incredibly funny 
There’s no excuse since it was played on ESPNU too. Everyone should have that with any live tv package. They literally have no fan interest and can no longer blame it on CJS and ineptitude.Yeah, 17k viewers…..but yet according to the myopian fanbase it is the school all P5 leagues are fighting over.

Here is a typical post showing how delusional they are....

Of course they do. They know playing us would be better for them but they are willing to do anything to not help their program.
Whatever they are smoking in Tampa, I definitely don't want it if it makes you that delusional.
They let hate rule them.
There are a couple who get it and realize that a rivalry game that draws could make the Big12 want to add them. But they have so much entitled hate that they would rather go down with the ship than do what’s in their best interest. They rather a S Alabama or Coastal Carolina match up as opposed to the opportunity to play a P4 and more exposure. It’s silly.
I also like the ones who don’t want the cure bowl simply b/c it’s played at UCFs stadium. Why the hell would you care so much?

If I was in college I’d rather go to a city farther away for a week. See stuff you don’t already see.
No big deal, just growing pains, they are still on target to have an on campus stadium for the 2035 season.
I think they still have to pay $22 mil for it just to back out right hahaha? God I hope so, that would be so usf. Or at least a large portion of that, def an 8 figure move for nothing. 😂
A clause in the design-build agreement gave USF the ability to terminate the deal without penalty before a final price was decided. The design-builder was required to prepare a guaranteed maximum price proposal after 75% of the construction documents were complete, with a notice to proceed to construction due by June 30, 2024.
So basically what they want is too expensive and usfif can't affort the tah mahal they're dreaming of. No way they budge and build anything near our stadium out of pride. Should have done that $hit years ago but you followed Judy and got shafted. Roll in that doo-doo usfif and enjoy the aac, and your destiny.
“The on-campus stadium project continues to move forward, and nothing has changed regarding the cost or the university’s commitment to the project. "
So you are saying usf just completely screwed over this company who undoubtedly put in hundreds of hours of work and paid nothing? They had to of had to pay something, this was like a years worth of work. I thought they paid the $22 mil months ago, at least that was what was eluded to.
Who would ever make an out clause like that?
I was quoting the article, sorry for not making that clear.
From what I’ve read, the company was fairly new to the Tampa Bay market so they might have been willing to give up a very generous contract, hoping once they prove they’re worth they would not get backed out on. I worked for a start up that frequently gave kick out clauses six months into the contract because we were willing to risk six months of implementation work instead of having to wait another two years to get the contract signed.
Generally speaking large companies won’t use those clauses because they’d have to start over. Rarely are middle management folks brave enough to say I screwed up vendor selection after a 2 year RFP. So it’s a worthwhile risk to offer those types of things imo.
So this pretty much makes a delay in construction very likely?
I think I said this early in this thread but it is clear that USF wasn’t planning this and Weatherford pushed the issue in a rage after seeing the UCF Big12 news break. His first public comments was the same weekend

Curious to know how interest rates are affected. I read they got a 5.5% rate or something, but now interest rates are in the 7-8% range. I know residential is very different than business, I think you have a 30-60 day window for home mortgages, but can or will a financial institution let them carry that low of a rate with massive delays like this?
Government entities get different terms and rates than residential mortgage loans. Basically, you have a lot more assurance that the governments aren't going to default than you do with Joe Homeowner who will walk away if his home value goes down.
Some of them see what is going to happen ..spending like they are getting 30 million a year in tv money instead of 7
Yet another example of letting hate rule them as someone else said. They can't even conceive of building a more modest stadium because the main reason they're building one at all is to have something "better" than us.
Going to be real funny when we finish our stadium upgrades before theirs even breaks ground.
I saw that. But how is he showing renderings if they just fired the design firm? I’d imagine they need to start over, unless they are going to show whatever renderings of the fired firm that won’t be the actual design just to shut those losers up? As in the renderings they can’t afford lol.
From what I understand from the article and other interweb info they still have the architect on contract, just not the design build firm. Looks like they are changing the design/construction method to something they have more control over.
Either way, there is still plenty of time for #BullsPeedAhead shenanigans...
Article states that the Cows had to pay the firm
for the work that they completed. So now they have to pay the new firm to do the same work. Their debt is going to be ridiculous!
In addition to how many former coaches are they still paying for? 😂
I think they are paying for 1 until the end of the season - I thought they said they only had to pay Scotty an additional year. The article said they were on the hook for paying about $22MM. Whether this was fees already billed or to be billed, it did not break it down. What I find entertaining is that they don't want to build a conservative stadium to get their own home. They want that final home. I liken it to buying your first home. Sure it might not have all of the bells and whistles but its your home and after a couple of years, you add on to it. They make fun of our home but I cannot take them seriously when they are renting an apartment at RayJay.
The collapse of the Big East was just so devastating to them. Playing in a rented stadium that was full when you were getting BCS AQ money made sense. It takes a lot of humble pie to now do the thing they mocked us for doing when they were on top and we were not. However, it's been 10 years now of being non-AQ/G5, when they were 9 years AQ before that.
I keep thinking that it could've easily been us, had the MAC days been better and we had been the ones to get the Big East invite. Sure we had the "built over time" fanbase that people talk about, so we'd have done some better, but going from being one of the haves to a have-not hasn't really been good for any program.
Weatherford and USF have a deranged obsession with us
When have UCF BOT ever used their meetings to take shots at other schools?
Small time and reactionary . They now say the stadium is delayed till 2027

funny thing is it doesn't look like the palace they were envisioning. this is not a fully concrete structure, i don't care what anyone says, they don't look like this.
i'm sure more concrete will be used like on the walking surfaces, etc so it doesn't bounce, but that looks like a steel structure underneath.
edit, you can see it more clearly on the right side.
