Here's an article to get started:

Hillsborough: Now nation knows who Bulls are

The University of Central Florida opened a $54-million, 45,000-seat stadium two weeks ago. And last week, trustees at Florida Atlantic University - a Division I-AA school - approved a 30,000-seat stadium plan for its Boca Raton campus. USF, the country's 18th-ranked football team, rents.

FYI, that guy is not our regular writer, Greg Auman.  He's one of a few people who are suddenly writing about us now that we've gotten some national recognition.  Auman is an excellent writer and, I can assure you, well aware of your status in D-1 football.

That other guy… well, he's a media bandwagon jumper, if you will.

GO BULLS!

Ooft. They don't take these things well.

"Hey! Sorry about the error – we corrected it in Saturday's paper! Thanks for reading!"

would have been much nicer.

This one isn't really media, but a person's blog post. It's somewhat amusing how they refer to us as "FA" and call USF "FSU" several times :P:

How about this one, where they have Troy's record at 4-1. FAU is ranked at 71.

The St Pete Times writer responded to me as well.  He was a bit friendlier in his response to me.  Im guessing he got quite a few emails on this and probly just started getting anal writing his apologies. I applaud him and his efforts for publishing the corrections and responding to the emails. Im sure he wont make the same mistake again.

I emailed the Reader Editor since there was no name or email address to write to the person who wrote this article. If anyone else wants to email this guy to tell him we don't play in the ASun and we don't use that logo anymore here is his info…..

To report corrections and clarifications, contact Reader Editor Brent Jones at 1-800-872-7073 or e-mail [email protected]. Please indicate whether you're responding to content online or in the newspaper.

If someone has more time than I do ( ;D) maybe they can find a contact info for Yahoo! Sports since they have the wrong logo too.

I got a response from USA today….

"Jared,

Another reader pointed this out to us and we're taking steps to get the
correct logo and conference affiliation for FAU. Thanks for writing.
