Non-sports: USF Call to All

A CALL FOR FAIRNESS FOR USF STUDENTS, FACULTY AND THE TAMPA BAY REGION! At the last minute, the legislature is planning to make a change -- taking away millions of dollars of funding for USF meeting Preeminent University metrics. This late change excludes SOLELY the University of South Florida from qualifying for preeminence AFTER the Board of Governors had certified USF met the necessary criteria that had been in the proposed language since January. This change also will badly hurt our downtown Tampa medical school and heart institute as well as other USF Colleges.  Please help by contacting your Florida legislators immediately to request fixing this when they return to Tallahassee on Sunday. Please click here for more details or click here to take action. This is not fair for our region or for USF. Thank you for your immediate assistance.

The Florida legislators are threatening to take $10 million from USF and give it to FSU and UF. They want to take the preemptive stature usf earned away by changing the rules at the last minute. The change involve allowing a 50% 4 year graduation rate being changed to 60% even though they agreed to 50%. Contact the legislators to voice your opinion.

The state of Florida legislature is total bull ****. Glad I don't live in the state. To pay tax dollars for these types of shenanigans is a joke. Hope USF has the political muscle to get the dollars they deserve.

This is so absurd, legislature is literally changing the rules of the game in the middle of it. It literally only hurts USF. Like some last minute ditch effort to keep the money at the flagships. Sheesh.

If there was ever a reason to stampede - this is it ... 

[Bull Dozer]

This doesn't surprise me. We lack a healthy contingent of Bulls in the state legislature. Until we get that UF and FSU will continue to try to undermine us through political means.

Time to call the Vinik

Scott should stop this.

This was pretty quick and painless. No ******* excuse for every USF fan reading this and living in Florida to take the minute to do it.

Also a great referral tool you're directed to after sending to enlighten those who might not otherwise see this.
