Florida State and Louisville are also commuter schools.


79% of students at USF live off campus and commute. It's 81% at FSU and 83% at Louisville. Most of the rest of the ACC is 60% or less with Wake Forest at 23%. WFU is definitely not a commuter school.

I'm not sure commuter percentage is as important as the quality of the athletics programs, fan base size, enthusiasm in the community, and what the market location can offer a league like the ACC. The ACC will also care about academic trends. Tampa has some attractive things to offer.

The recruiting thing is a double edged sword. Elevate them, and they can compete better against us for recruits. The other side is it helps ACC schools to recruit Florida by playing in Florida more. This same debate is going on in the Big XII around Houston.

I don't have USF at the top of my list, but they have some attractive things to offer the ACC.
