The premiere institution of higher education in the state of Florida, USF is home to the Bulls. Regarded as one of the top three flagship universities in Florida by definition of State Congress (the others being FSU and UF), no other school in the nation has obtained such accelerated acclaim in both the academic and athletic arena.

The Bulls' football program is relatively new. This, however, has not stopped the Bulls from defeating the Seminoles (FSU) and the Hurricanes (UM). Due to the Bulls' accomplishments, they are often referred to as the fourth member of the "Big Three" in the state of Florida.

Unlike other schools that are often located in the middle of nowhere, USF is a metropolitan university. Besides the amazing parties, students also enjoy Ybor City's clubs and bars, the Busch Gardens theme park, Clearwater and St. Petersburg's world famous beaches, and shopping at the International Plaza and downtown Tampa.

Unlike UF, USF prefers not to have bandwagon fans (people who wear a school's gear without having any affiliation or relation to the school, such as they are not a student or have friends or family who go there). Our gear is sacred and respected. We let the hicks and pretenders wear UF gear.
The University of South Florida (USF) is what every potential student looks for in a school. All of its students engage in top-of-the-line research and earn degrees that are respected internationally. The school's young age provides the opportunity for its students to take part of real history, instead of looking at hallways filled with old dead people's portraits like they do at FSU and UF.
