Wow! we don't want to be a "Directional School". Look what happened to schools like North Carolina, South Carolina, University of Southern California.

 

Are you trolling or do you seriously want to push that line? 

1. North Carolina is a flagship school in the STATE of North Carolina. 

2. South Carolina is a flagship school in the STATE of South Carolina. 

3. Southern California is a PRIVATE school with a long established athletic history.

If we add "Tampa Bay" or "Tampa" to our name everyone involved in the decision should be fired.

As long as we have "south" in our name, we're a D2 directional school Need to drop the word south and become THE UNIVERSITY OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA

The University of South Florida is just fine for me. We are the Bulls and never ever change that for someone else's perception.  If they don't like it then  just don't.

Well, they are ALL directional schools.

USC is obvious.

USCe includes the word EAST to distinguish it from the REAL USC

And UNC is formally known as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

So there  :P

I'm with you on Southern Cal, but North Carolina and South Carolina are not, "directional" schools.

I see this as the most logical approach.

I like the goal of brand renovation but none of those ideas are good. Changing the name to USFTB and making the motto "Let's Build Something" are unmitigated disasters, not well thought out solutions to a complex problem. Sounds like  amateur hour, not world-class execution. 

I am officially raising my hand to be an unpaid consultant on this project because it's already off the rails.

If we knew 40 years ago what we know now, the name should have been changed to Tampa Bay University.  GO TBU Bulls!

Do you have contacts there?  If not, Andrew Goodrich would be a good person to start with. He is only Athletics but a bright guy with a stellar personality and is now Dr. Goodrich.  Would make a great AD IMO.
