The #23 ranked Women's soccer team is hosting #22 Tennessee tonight and that game starts 30min prior to Kickoff, and the Men's team is away at FGCU at the same time. Both of those games should have been aimed to play tomorrow, especially the Women's game so there could be more in attendance against another SEC school. Like I said, I know it's mostly out of USF's control but man is it dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem the soccer always plays on a Thursday however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches (including ours) have been working on getting the sport to run year round rather than over one semester. Once that's done, teams will play a game a week and two games a week will become a rarity. Of course, this will mean more conflicts with Saturday football.
