I'd have to look up the rule but you can't provide a dining facility exclusie to atheletes which is why most schools open there's up (at least part time) to all students.

I believe you are correct.  I believe some schools open it up to athletes and honor students.  I would have to look that up though.  On top of all this why are you people griping about it.  If you want new stuff built and 3d practice film donate the money.  I guarantee if you donate the money for that purpose they will build it.

I believe that it is a requirement for state funding to have open access to all students.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! 

This thread is an epic failure!  If we had a hall of shame this would be a first ballot inductee.

Happy Matt

I wish USF would throw some money at an English class for undergrads.  Dude.. DINING... sportS...saddenED....and wow, Jimbo will have 3D, are you sure we will not?  You know we were the first team in the country to use the heat stroke sensors, I think keeping players alive is a pretty important tool too, especially to parents.

He's not so much That USF guy as he is "That Guy". 

Always remember friends never let friends be That Guy. 

P.C. is a great flick.  Piven's best role until Entourage.

i dont think the  athletic cafeteria only is that big a deal

[Bullsheaven08]

1.) FSU's "athlete" cafeteria is open to the public for lunch. It just happens to be far from everything, so students really have no reason to go there.

2.) FSU has been doing the 3-D film for years now.

Why is it empty? They are the face of the university and they have more to loss then any regular student. Do regular students have the likelihood of staining a sever injure in way that it could effect there lives or when a regular student gets a DUI or runs traffic light they face penalties but do they get talk on boards like this one or mention on blogs by writers or make the front page of the local paper's sport sections? I really hate to say this but athletes do more for university the regular student and yes they desire to have luxuries which other students do not get.

You will have to excuse me if I misunderstood this post as it is barely comprehensible, but if you are saying that athletes do more than "regular students" then I am offended by that. Give me a USF student who works at Moffitt and contributes even in the slightest toward curing cancer or Alzheimer's and I would give you a 5-star recruit that I am willing to send packing to keep them here. Shoot, the kids from USF who are heading over to the oil spill in the gulf are just as important as our athletes.

Maybe athletes do more for you than regular students but don't generalize; some of us chose our university for reasons not related to Division I athletics.

Maybe you should put down the controller, put away your NCAA and/or Madden PS3 disc and focus a little more on real life. Online poker and PBR will be there when you are done.

Really you do not know me and personal attacks just show thatyou are an ***. Thank you for what you do but this board  is about USF athletics not cancer patients and before you say it, My mother had cancer and she was treated at moffit cancer center and we appreciate what was done for her.

The regular student is the life blood of this University but these athletes are the FACE OF OUR UNIV., here is a test  " When I say University if Florida what poops in you head" , .....Tebow or some form of the football program. Ok that is point they are figures that the nation remembers about our schools. So if they are the going to be used to market and sell our school then they should receive exclusive benefits which regular students do not receive . If you still say "NO" then think this how much money does the athletic programs here at USF bring into this University, community, and state?

I know I might not be the best speller but I do not try say I am. I am just fan think our program is falling short of what we should be heading towards. Also I retract my statement about FSU and UF I was lead to believe that their amenities were only for athletics but I still believe it should be that way.
