The '''University of South Florida''' Bulls compete as members of the [[{{amac}}]] in [[NCAA Division I FBS]] football and in [[NCAA Division I]] basketball.  South Florida is a public institution located in Tampa, Florida.  The school has an undergraduate enrollment of around 34,000.

The campus occupies a large rectangle of north Tampa, between 30th and 50th Streets from east to west, and between Fletcher Avenue and Fowler Avenue north to south.  Fowler and Fletcher are, respectively, exits 51 and 52 off I-275, which parallels 30th Street a mile west of campus.  (Likewise, a mile and a half west of campus, exits 265 and 266 off I-75 serve the same function.)  USF Sun Dome (10,000) sits on the southeastern quadrant of campus, at the corner of Elm Drive and Bull Run Drive.  Raymond James Stadium (66,000) is an off-campus facility better known as the home of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers; it's 15 miles from campus at the corner of US 92 (Dale Mabry Highway) and Tampa Bay Boulevard northwest of downtown Tampa.  Exit 41B off I-275 is the US 92 exit, and the stadium is a mile north of the interstate.

South Florida's primary rival is nearby [[Central Florida]], an hour up the road in Orlando.  As a relatively young program with few lengthy residencies in any conference, they've yet to build any serious rivalries other than the geographic ones, though they've started scheduling fairly regular games with the other major schools in Florida and have had some success.

Only seventeen former Bulls have suited up in the NFL, which is unsurprising for a program which was born in 1997.  None had made much of an impact until 2011, when DE Jason Pierre-Paul emerged as a star for the New York Giants.  Six players have reached the NBA, Chucky Atkins being the most relevant.
