I gotta say I never thought it would happen. Someone would always do something or not do something along the way to screw it up along the way.
But #UCF is going to join the #Big12 today and I’ve never been more happy to be wrong about something in my entire life.
So today’s the day. Maybe the biggest day in #UCF Athletics history. I’m rocking it old school today because I’m feeling reflective. All the dreams we’ve had for a quarter-century come true today. Let’s not forget where we came from.
Now you know me and I have a lot of questions still, like payout terms and can the Big 12 patch up Bowlsby’s row with ESPN (I hope so). But the big picture is this:
We’re no longer “on the outside” or “knocking on the door.” #UCF is officially a Power Conference program. PERIOD.
Four weeks ago I was *absolutely convinced* the Big 12 was on the verge of imploding. And I was not alone.
I cannot wait to read the tick-tick on who pulled the league back together to do the right thing and how they did it.
That said, I wholeheartedly admit I was dead wrong and unequivocally accept and and all I-told-you-sos that are rightfully heading my way.
Anyway, I’ll see you at @UCF_Volleyball vs. Florida State tonight.

Six years ago today: Our first post on @UCF_Banneret.
Back then it was just me, and now here we are.
A lot's happened since then, and #UCF is on the precipice of even bigger things happening.
