Background: The University of South Florida
is an institution of higher learning located at 4202 E. Fowler
Avenue in Tampa, Florida, with branch campuses at St. Petersburg,
Sarasota and Lakeland.
The school's sports teams are called the Bulls. They participate
in NCAA's Division I-A sports as a member of Conference USA;
in 2005, USF will move to the Big East.
History:
USF was founded in 1956, though it wasn't even named
until the next year and classes didn't commence until 1960.
Former US Representative Sam Gibbons was instrumental in the
school's creation when he was a state representative and is
considered by many to essentially be the school's founder.
It was built on the site of Henderson Air Field, a WWII airstrip. |

USF emerged as a major research institution during the 1990's,
under the presidency of Betty Castor, and is currently considered
one of the top universities in Florida. Its reputation was
tarnished under Castor's successor, Judy Genshaft, by the
controversy surrounding Professor Sami Al-Arian. Al-Arian's
alleged connections to Palestinian terrorist groups brought
national media attention to USF following the September 11,
2001 terrorist attacks.
