Unlike the support of a pro football team, college Alumni actually stand to benefit economically (albeit indirectly, but benefit nonetheless) from the relative on field success for their respective football teams. As USF team becomes more nationally recognized, applications from highly qualified students from out of state will increase along with an increase in applications from in-state students. The additions standards will rise and the perceived value of the USF degree will begin to rise. It is happening now, and as USF success in athletic endeavors continues all that is associated with USF academics will benefit as well. We get called a commuter school by T.V. analysts and various media and self-proclaimed experts. The term is used not to accurately describe our student body’s living arraignments, but rather it is meant in a derogatory manner as to suggest that the school is inferior in all ways to some other institution. In fact there are many schools that are perennial top 25’s that can be classified as commuter. If one were to apply a strict rule of percentage of student body living on the actual campus, schools like Ohio State and Georgia would be considered commuter. However we rarely hear the word commuter unless it is being used to define a perceived lower echelon institution. Sadly many in the public buy into this bunk – a result of living in an age were style almost always beats substance. So I do in fact get a bit peeved when I see fellow USF alumni waste their support on programs of other colleges. Especially on those with which USF directly competes for those resources. Especially when it is wasted on U (so arrogant that you think that the only reason someone did not go was because he could not get in) F.
