What's the difference between this and a highlight tape or like you know a regular job. Gotta keep your subjects down I guess
Okay so now that camp has started I'm wondering what everyone's definition of success for the team this year will be?
Milton is there? Going to depend on OL and that Memphis game. OL and Milton gel then I think 8 wins, if not 4-6 wins.
I don't remember hearing much about it him tbh. #Alabama Crimson Tide someone else might have better knowledge.
We have another DB from Bama that sat out last year. I'm not opposed to be the place Bama players who aren't patient come play.
Never heard much about him from practice reports or anything. But he's a 6'1" DB with offers from us, UF, USC, and Tenn. Not bad for UCF
So disengaged since I canceled rivals subscription. I guess I'll find out about our team in a few weeks.
De la heye ruled ineligible because of YouTube. He wouldn't accept the terms of the NCAA waiver https://www.orlandosentinel.com/spo...ucf-kicker-ineligible-20170731-story,amp.html
I had to edit my first take, I read the headline and assumed that the NCAA was the issues. Turns out they actually granted a waiver to allow him to continue YouTube provided he followed some terms, so good on them. I still think there is a lot of room for NCAA to reexamine some of these policies in regards to the student athlete of today but this was a step in the right direction for them.
Its dumb and sucks for him but whatever. Hopefully he makes good money off this because losing your scholarship, room, and board is a lot.
So De la Haye is now raising money for tuition? Maybe he should have just let it be for a few years and not advertised being a student athlete.
There's been hardly any info on practices but we've got 4 fuckin pages talking about a kicker who kicks off a few times a game
After the Gofundme I'm firmly in the team fuck this kid. His clickbaity bullshit videos put him close but deciding to give up your scholarship then bitching about the consequences you chose is dumber than the NCAA.
Haven't heard anything now that I'm off Twitter and rivals. Closed practices and a shitty beat writer has killed any engagement I had this off season. This is why teams like us struggle.
Nationally teams are taking shit way too serious with closed practices and limited reporting. So fucking stupid. It's football.
I like the idea of building a hotel into it and making it a conference center. They are going to lose money on this every year with just football so better find other revenue streams. It won't open til 2023-24 at the earliest so by then this is 300-350 mill and way out of their price range. Their inability to admit how we built our stadium is the best way for a school like ours is going to be their undoing.
Colo St is basically bankrupting their entire school for their new stadium. Its dumb. We're all probably stuck at this level and debt financing $200 mill is beyond ridiculous. I like what White is doing by adding more premium amenities and making the stadium nicer a few mill at a time financed by donations and sales.
How did you guys build your stadium? What's the difference in what they're doing? I'm obviously not familiar with either situation. A quick wiki read didn't help unfortunately.
Well for starters our only cost $50 mil. USF would rather play in a rent a stadium in front of the 100s of people willing to make the drive than 45,000 erect a set stadium. We built ours and have added onto it over the past 10 years as get donations and have money.
It's mostly metal construction that is easily expanadable. They've always said it looks cheap and unfinished, which is true but not in a bad way. It was cheap (realatively) and it is unfinished so we can expand
Yeah basically we started with a pretty damn bare bones stadium. I think around 46-47k. Built one tower with suites and club seats. Left the outside basically open to build a facade as time goes on like what FSU did. So far I think they have added 2 out building on to it making it look better, added new suites and amenities, way bigger video board and everything. Basically every year they spend $2-10 mill making it better with money raised that year instead of doing a $200 mill up front and get strangled by that debt. Its the only way a school in a lower conference can really pay for it anymore with small TV monies coming in. It will never be amazing but it has a great vibe when the team is decent and has grown the fanbase a lot.
And down goes another one. WTF is wrong with UCF Greek Life that shit like this seems to happen every semester? http://www.foxnews.com/us/2017/08/0...in-reported-rape-at-ucf-fraternity-party.html
