Performance is key. UCF, Houston, and a few others have done well.

We can acknowledge their success while also considering our unique needs and our own goals and expectations.

6/25/19 12:04pm

If the expectation is P5, it has proven time and time again to be unattainable.

Bronco seemed to have a different opinion about it. His opinion carries as much

Why would it carry more weight than TH? Bronco doesn't deal with the financials of the AD.
