I also appreciate that ESPN and other media partners are continually referring to us as South Florida over USF now. I assume that's a directive from the athletic department, maybe @John Lewis can confirm?  Helps avoid confusion between us and Oviedo (who conveniently seems to be focusing on the abbreviation over full name)

I was also curious about this... is the reasoning for using 'South Florida' instead of the 'USF' abbreviation in our branding to prevent confusion with the other USFs (e.g. San Fran, Sioux Falls, etc...) and 'UCF'?

I think the  Alma mater/fight song spells it out perfectly. 

Maybe we should sell a book called usf for dummies and have it printed on page one.

Agree.  Florida Southern is directly east of USF so there's strength in numbers.
