Bulls Country is designed to increase school spirit and awareness of USF in the neighborhoods surrounding the University. The concept of Bulls Country is seen as a state of mind as much as an actual geographic area. Organizers hope to increase the University's profile and "visibility" in surrounding areas so visitors and residents alike will know they are in or near a "College Town." Escalated school spirit, visible Bull Pride, and more support for University programs is the natural benefit and result of Bulls Country.

Having produced more than 200,000 graduates since it opened in 1956, The University of South Florida now has more than 90,000 alumni living within a 60-mile radius of its Tampa Campus. This huge family of Bulls represents a large economic force and a strong base of Bull pride.

USF, with its national reputation of excellence, has a strong, diverse history of successful partnerships at the corporate and research level. The Bulls Country program seeks to amplify Bull Pride within surrounding neighborhoods to increase mutual support between area merchants and USF students, alumni, faculty, and staff.

A major goal of the program is to increase the amount of USF support on signs and buildings in the Bulls Country area. Visible signs of support, branding the area with USF colors and Bulls Country signage, helps define the neighborhoods as part of the University Community.
