USF Athletics CEO Rob Higgins is leading several major “transformative” projects as concrete pours across campus, according to reporting from Forbes and Yahoo Sports. The articles say Higgins is focused on moving forward with the work on facilities and related athletics infrastructure.
The timing is closely tied to the start of the first season under new football coach Brian Hartline. Both outlets frame Higgins’s efforts as part of a broader push to prepare the athletics department for what’s ahead, emphasizing the urgency of the construction and planning during this transition period.
While both articles share the same basic details and theme—Higgins’s active oversight and the near-term football season—neither source provides materially different specifics about the projects themselves. Instead, they present a largely aligned picture of leadership and momentum as USF approaches the upcoming football season.
