A question I always wondered about as well. I think we would be in a better place.

According to a story going around USF around 1970: Anheiser-Busch was willing to build USF an on campus football stadium when USF was born, rent free if the university advertised Anheiser-Busch products in the stadium. However, the first president of our university, John Allen, was against big-time athletics and said "NO" to Anheiser-Busch.  So, we could have had a Brahman football team way back in 1960!

I’ve heard that story even when I was a student. Not sure how true it was but regardless there was no way in hell Allen was going to let football happen on his watch. He was busy creating Harvard on Fowler Ave. Allen did not have the business knowledge to understand the PR benefits athletics gave a university.
