TAMPA - The University of South Florida has added a home-and-home football series with Western Kentucky to its schedule. The Bulls will play at WKU on Sept. 12, 2009 and host WKU on Sept. 25, 2010.

Western Kentucky is making the move from Division I-AA to Division I-A in 2009 and will join the Sun Belt Conference.

"Western Kentucky adds another NCAA FBS team to our upcoming schedules and really brings into focus our plans for the 2009 and 2010 seasons," USF athletic director Doug Woolard said in a statement. "The best part of the two-game deal is that we add a seventh home game in 2010. The entertainment value for our fans increases with one more home date. For our team, it provides the competitive advantage of playing one more date in front of our home fans. And from a revenue standpoint, it provides a significant stimulus with seven home dates against five travel dates."
