    Premium Archive Welcome, jameskanan This page is print-ready, and this article will remain available for 90 days. Instructions for Saving | About this Service | Premium Account December 22, 2002, Sunday MAGAZINE DESK Football Is A Sucker's Game By Michael Sokolove (NYT) 7919 words The University of South Florida sprawls over nearly 1,500 acres in a once sparsely populated section of Tampa, close to where the city bleeds into unincorporated Hillsborough County. The campus is pancake flat and in desperate need of more trees and shade. Grass comes up in stubborn clumps through sandy soil. I can't say that I was shocked when I learned of a previous use of this parcel of land: a practice bombing range. In many other ways, though, the University of South Florida is attractive -- and useful. It has produced about 170,000 graduates in its four-decade history. It has a medical school and some well-regarded academic programs. Current enrollment stands at 39,000, and students tend to be grounded and hard-working rather than rich and entitled. (A professor told me that one challenge of his job is teaching morning classes to students who may have worked the late shift at Chili's.) What U.S.F. does not have is any kind of national profile. It has no standing. No buzz. The latest edition of the Princeton Review's ''Best 345 Colleges'' does not rank it low on the list -- it leaves it off entirely. University officials want U.S.F. in the guidebooks. They want fewer commuters, more out-of-state students, more residence halls and more of a ''traditional'' campus feel, by which they mean a campus with a soul and some spirit.

SANFORD-FINAL 4/21/2003 4:33 PM I Want My C-SPAN Bruce W. Sanford* A few years ago, Brian Lamb, the founder and public face of C- SPAN, was asked during an interview about Newton Minow’s famous indictment of American television. If anyone in the communications industry today has the credentials to brush aside the question, it is Lamb, who reinvented public affairs programming over the last two decades. C- SPAN now reaches approximately eighty million U.S. households—one in twenty Americans watches it regularly.1 The producers of The Bachelor would envy its demographics. C-SPAN is “reality TV” that even Minow would have loved. But despite his successes, Lamb did not scoff at the question. “I think [Minow] was right about an enormous amount of television,” Lamb replied in the 1999 interview.
