I hadn’t heard anything about that It's rumor, so grain of salt and all that, but the UT boards were saying that Gundy isn't getting an extension or any contract change from Okla St. Just straight up turned down UT.

Texass likes being the big fish, even if the pond is small and stagnant. Link to comment

They are in a top 20 TV market and in a state that a lot of conferences would love to gain a share/bigger share of. I don't think it's too big of a stretch to see UCF and USF joining a power 5 conference together at some point. If that happens then a lot Nebraska's advantages are diminished. Again, I don't agree, but this is probably the biggest thing they can sell to a big time coach. The problem is that even a very desperate Big XII passed on both schools in the most recent round of expansion talks. So they bring much less than you think. Top that off with swirling speculation that the next major conference expansion will happen again in 2020/something when the Big XII collective bargaining agreement expires likely leading to the break up of that conference and suddenly UCF and USF become a disappointing consolation prize compared to the Oklahoma and Texas schools. Even kansas would be considered a bigger win. In short you vastly over estimate the value those schools bring. 1 Link to comment

TV's mean everything and recruiting territory isn't far behind. But again, I was just trying to give a reason why UCF might be considered a better job. Link to comment

Tell me if there is something I'm missing. Facilities: Nebraska (Not even a discussion) Fan Support: Nebraska (Not even a discussion) Money: Nebraska (Not even a discussion) Recruiting: Nebraska (UCF closer to talent, but there is a reason that we've out recruited them every year since recruiting rankings were invented) Conference: Nebraska (C'mon) History: Nebraska (C'mon) Keep in mind that Kanell is Florida born and bred, and attended UF. He'll believe everything is better in FLA. Perhaps not unlike Frost and Nebraska. Link to comment
Enhance Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 I'm not usually one of those people who bash on a sportscaster because they have an opinion I don't like. That said, Kanell's opinions are often a special kind of stupid. There's no objective way to argue UCF is a 'better' job than Nebraska or even suggest that this 'might' be true. UCF has some positives, but, that does not mean there's any substance to his argument. 2 Link to comment
GA Husker Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Frank the Tank has repeatedly stated that when it comes to expansion, you need to think like a school president, not a coach or fan. UCF/USF bring nothing to the table academically, and little if any research acumen.. Link to comment
