I heard this a few years ago and I have always wanted to know for sure....

Rumor or truth?

Annheuser Busch offered to build USF a football stadium but the offer was turned down because the president at the time wanted the school to be more focused on academics?

I find it believable... Busch Gardens Tampa Bay opened in the 50s and it would have been huge to have a stadium named after the company or the park in the area...

The cost was probably considerably lower (relative to the time) to build a nice stadium at the time.

I wouldn't... Do you realize what an OCS does for a school? It is the centerpiece... I remember being in HS and visiting my sister at UF and I was FASCINATED by the swamp. My trip to UF and the swamp REALLY turned school around for me... I was dead set on going to a university with football after that day.

I'd trade RayJay for the Swamp, the Shoe or other great college stadiums in a heartbeat.
