Let's not be hasty


Yes, UCF has a successful football program. The program currently earns less than two million dollars per year from their conference media deal. Can you see why ESPN would be reluctant to give them a pay raise to P5 money ? It would cost the network $30 million, or so, to do what? Would ESPN be able to raise their ad rates to make up the money? Will ESPN sell more ads in Florida?

Adding UCF gets nothing for the ACC except another mouth to feed from the current media contract. That is the same onus UCF would bring to any other P5 conference who would be foolish enough to add them. G5 schools will remain G5 schools for the foreseeable future. Nobody is getting promoted.

Take the long view. For how long has UCF had a dynamite football team? How long into the future will they sustain their success. Coaches come and go, especially winning G5 coaches. Not so long ago the hot program was South Florida under Chip Holtz. Remember?
