A little catching up...

Now that exam week is drawing to a close, here are some updates on USF.

First of all, congratulations to coaches Don Barr and Agustin Moreno of the men's and women's tennis teams. They both saw their teams earn berths in the NCAA tournament after second place Big East Conference finishes by the teams.

The NCAA's begin May 9. The men's team is making its first NCAA appearence since 2003, while the women's team is making its third consecutive trip to the NCAA's.

Three former Bulls who went undrafted during last weekend's NFL draft are at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie camp with the goal of a contract offer from the team. Receiver Amarri Jackson along with Walter Walker and Jared Carnes will be looking for a spot on Tampa's roster.

The Big East Bowl schedule received a shakeup this week with the announcment of the brand new St. Petersburg Bowl. This new bowl game will be played at Tropicana field and feature a Big East team playing a Conference USA team. The Papajohns.com Bowl, which formerly matched teams from those two conferences, will now pit the Big East against the SEC.

There will be more updates as the weekend progresses, so check back for more updates.
