Danny White was voted FBS AD of the year...by a committee composed mostly of other FBS ADs. I don't think he is pissing people off as much as some think.
then hopefully Power 5 scheduling news is coming. The first wave a month or two ago brought crickets, now FIU, so let's see what's next
Those of you complaining about the FCS game...that game is for financial reasons. Scheduling a team home only, without any away games at their stadium, is the ONLY way to get seven home games (and the extra $2 million in profit it provides) every other year.
There are already several strong reasons for P5 teams to not want to schedule a H&H with UCF...
- Reduces their ability to schedule seven (in some cases even eight) home games per year
- Makes them look bad if they lose (and they now realize there is a large probability that they will lose)
- Overall reluctance among P5 schools to do anything that improves the perception of UCF or the AAC
For now, the current scheduling philosophy is not hurting us. The first year that we have an open P5 spot to fill is 2021 (one spot). After that, not until 2023 when we need to fill 2 P5 slots.
Havent seen that. I think the reasonable spectrum of the discussion is between doing 2 for 1s or demanding 1 for 1.
This is what I am referring to on it being a long term problem if a League change is not in the works. I have seen some fans post that UCF should only schedule G5 schools OOC bc they are mad at the backlash? wtf? Do you wanna be North Dakota State or compete at the highest level?
I think fans are mostly just whiny because they're losing scheduling arguments on social media with USF fans. Whaaaa! Lol. This isn't a real issue. As soon as we announce an OOC P6 match up for 2021 this entire conversation will go away. Which will go to show it only mattered to people because USF got some positive press. Fans are soft.
2 mil is what we make for an average home game. FCS is not that. It garners less interest and the payout does not let us get the 2 mil.
With sold out season tickets wouldn’t we be close? UCF can’t make a lot of money from game day parking sales so no loss there. And these games are hot so people have to drink quite a bit
Wrong. Especially now that almost every non-student seat in the stadium is sold as a season ticket, it means that gameday revenue is not going to fluctuate as much.
Also, the guarantee that we pay to an FCS team is lower than what we would have to pay to a G5 team.
*Disclaimer: I have the right to delete all my posts in this thread if UCF receives a Power 5 League Invite within 12 months*
Let’s not overcomplicate this
Scheduling an FCS team never requires an away game. It’s a tune up game and gives us a possible 7th home game
The problem is an FCS team + FIU when your
other 2 games (probably ACC/P5) are mediocre and 1 may be away. Hell.., the 3rd game could be a G5 as well
Schedule UF and Alabama and I’ll be good with FCS and FIU.

I don’t think a P5 invite will be decided by our schedule
However, if we want to keep winning and filling seats by keeping our schedule good, but not too tough, that might be as good of a strategy as any for a P5 invite.
Fans should be more upset with the lack of a Cabana wall and the random migration of all the Mikesicans.
If you schedule a 2-for-1 with Alabama, UF...or anyone for that matter, it makes it difficult to get seven home games every other year, even with the annual FCS game.
That is not what I meant by that post
That hypothetical would explain the slow scheduling news. UCF scheduling as an ACC Coastal member with division games against Miami every season would feel different than doing it as a long term member of the AAC. There is obviously no evidence of that happening anytime soon.
I’m not the biggest fan of these 1 for 1s with FAU and FIU either. However, from a business standpoint it’s a good deal. Remember, on the flip side FAU and FIU have no incentive to a schedule a 2 for 1 with us either. Games currently that they are predicted to lose. And so what if we lose to one then every no and then. We have done enough to set ourselves apart from them. People will call it major upset. We get the benefit of winnable game, close to home, UCF fans in South Florida get a home game, Miami recruits like seeing UCF down there and our South players like playing games down there.
I just hope that Danny White has some big announcements coming soon in regards to scheduling. I’m going to trust DW until he gives me reason no to.
Yea but wouldn't Boise be considered G4 or P6? Definitely not FCS in our scheduling philosophy.
That was the way it was stated but considering that this is consistent with our history of scheduling FIU, my feeling is that was just a way to get past the question. It satisfied our critics and didn't open the door to other questions. Just my thought. Of course it could be true.
Well, maybe FIU can kill it this season and then it will be a quality G5 game, but damn that small stadium. It’s like high school
Haha we can hope. According to Bill Connelly's numbers FIU will be at the top of CUSA...but the conference is really top heavy so they all might just eat each other.
Miami Central High School games have a better atmosphere than FIU
I can’t believe I just read that Miami is going to FIU on 11/23 this year.
So.., is it more embarrassing that I’m making fun of their stadium and the “U” is going there
or FIU can get Miami to play in a high school stadium and we can’t get them in our 45,000 seat stadium that hosted Gameday?

Or maybe they'd rather have a check mark behind the "W" column instead of the "L".
So it’s the nothing to gain from playing UCF argument. Too risky
Boy., getting big games were easy when we sucked
Ummm, get this done if there's any truth to it.
Sounds pretty fake unless Alabama is going to play 5 OOC games in 2020.
@HammerB08 falling for Russian Bots trying to divide the UCF fan base. Very Sad!
