Why do teams stay in Conferences that they have no hope of winning?

How has that worked out for them...? Miami also hasn't won anything since leaving the AAC.

#UCFacts
Rutgers is making $35 million more a year, so it’s working pretty well considering they weren’t even that good before switching conferences.

Why is that tshirt bandwagoners always make sports sound homoerotic?

Yes, there is something wrong with that.

That’s you projecting your fantasies on others.

That doesn’t follow his UCFake narrative.

I know UCF would never be in a conference that we wouldn't win. I guess other schools enjoy getting paid to lose? That's the only thing I can think of why teams stay on conferences that they can't win.

Yeah, I'm looking at you

Arkansas
Kentucky
Mississippi
Mississippi State
Missouri
South Carolina
Texas A&M
Vanderbilt

who haven't won the sec since 1992 or 4 full years before UCF started joined D1 / FBS.

#UCFacts

The same reason smaller schools like GA St. plays competition way over their talent level such as TN, Penn St, etc...for that big check.

No other reason....but that big check goes a long way for smaller programs.

IMO, it doesn't matter whether you can win the conference if you play in the SEC, it's almost a lock the program will run in the black based on the TV/bowl money the conference brings in. Playing in the SEC as an impact starter, you will likely get a shot to play at the next level....so even the bottom feeders are able to attract NFL level talent.

Honestly though, does UCF have any sort of fandom that has gone beyond the T-shirt phase, shit, I have underwear older than UCF's first bowl win.

UCF only has Real UCFan.

We don't accept tshirt bandwagoners even if they apply.

Meanwhile most Bamers tshirt bandwagoners have never foot set on campus or any college campus for that matter.

you dont control fandom of UCF
being a fan isnt about going to a certain school and it doesnt make a person bandwagon

LOL at your imaginary gate keeping, that's some Disney level imagineering right there. It's sad that a school with 66,000 students isn't able to fill a Mickey Mouse 45,000 seat stadium. LOL at you making fun of teams with fans having never set foot on campus, you literally have hundreds of thousands of students that have never set foot in Spectrum Stadium...(a)pathetic. Really though, who could blame them, if you live in Orlando, there are plenty of other places for better entertainment than watching some middling football team with delusions of grandeur play middling football in a middling conference.

Learn your UCFacts, noob. The Big East was one of the 6 BCS auto bid conferences - none of that Power crap back. The Big East changed our name to the AAC in 2012.

It’s the same conference.

Go take a lap to cool off

#UCFacts

Big East in its final season as the Big East
Cincinnati
Louisville
Pitt
Rutgers
Syracuse
Temple
UConn
South Florida

first season of AAC
Cincinnati
Houston
Louisville
Memphis
Rutgers

UCF

these are not the same

The nerdling newcomer from the land of alligator-filled theme parks has a lot to learn about the facts of college football. Maybe one day he'll stop spouting so many UCFallacies.
