How can USF have a 19% and a 17% ratio on students to total attendance? Am I the only one that caught this typo?

•USF has the largest student section in the Big East (12,501), which accounts for 19 percent of Raymond James Stadium's 65,857 capacity. The largest percentage of students at Big East stadiums is West Virginia (21 percent of 60,000), followed by Rutgers (20 percent of 42,500), [glow=red,2,300]USF and Cincinnati (17 percent of 35,000).[/glow]

I think it was meant to read:

The largest percentage of students at Big East stadiums is West Virginia (21 percent of 60,000), followed by Rutgers (20 percent of 42,500), USF (19 percent of 65,857), and Cincinnati (17 percent of 35,000).

As a listed order.  It wasn't a typo, just confusing language.

Missing a comma... it's suppose to be WVU 21, Rutgers 20, USF 19 (already mentioned), and then Cincinnati (17).

AP style guide doesn't mandate a comma before the last item in a comma list.  Sentences like this show why it should.

... atleast you get paid though!

I thought so, but only if you don't get paid by your company. I'm salary, so I lose out on the $15  8)

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
