Right there with La. Tech, Troy and Charlotte. Hey, look at the bright side, we're saving gas money. At least they mention the investigation.

Players at South Florida have the shortest average distance from their hometown to college (129 miles). The next closest: Louisiana Tech (168 miles), Mississippi State (171 miles), Troy (173 miles) and Charlotte (180 miles). It's interesting to note how different the recruiting styles are for the two major programs in Mississippi. While Mississippi State players are 171 miles from home, Ole Miss players are 494 miles away (the highest by any SEC public university). Hugh Freeze's program is under NCAA investigation for recruiting violations.
