Athletics CEO Rob Higgins said general seating for the inaugural schedule will go on sale this fall, with season tickets as low as $25 per game. Higgins also said all 28 luxury suites are sold out.

Kremer, 30, was an assistant on a Cardinal team that went 39-5 and reached the NCAA championship match this past season. She was hired after the abrupt resignation of inaugural coach Pri Piantadosi-Lima.

USF showed off construction progress on the stadium complex on the Tampa campus. The facility is set to open in time for the 2027 college football season.

Pri Piantadosi-Lima, hired in 2023 to build the program from scratch, is leaving for “personal reasons.” CEO of Athletics, Rob Higgins, says a national search is underway for a replacement.

The panel is examining more oversight of agents working for student-athletes, limiting transfers and exempting schools from federal antitrust laws to shield them from lawsuits on compensation.

Chris Mack stood out so strongly among dozens of interested candidates that USF "proactively" pursued him. Within days, he has shown the required "relentless obsession" as he recruits "everyday guys."

During her introductory press conference, Curry noted the school's desire to compete "at the highest level” and promised to embrace the past and build on the success left by Jose Fernandez.

In opting for proof over promise, USF has hired College of Charleston's Chris Mack, who brings of a resume of 300-plus career wins and nine NCAA appearances at Louisville and Xavier.

Athletics CEO Rob Higgins says interim coach Michele Woods-Baxter will receive consideration for the job and that the team would not accept a postseason bid from any non-NCAA event.

The arrangement with Collegiate Athletic Solutions, a platform co‑founded by Tampa‑based Weatherford Capital, would give each school access to a $30 million line of credit while supporting conference operations.

Robinson, a former two-time chair of the commission’s board of directors, led the county's athletics department since 2006. He replaces Rob Higgins, who became USF's CEO of Athletics.

Brown made the decision after discussions with new head coach Brian Hartline, but he will be on the sideline assisting interim coach Kevin Patrick, according to Athletics CEO Rob Higgins.
