On September 2008, the University of North Florida announced that it will spend over $30 million on the construction of the University Of North Florida Varsity Village.
In 2005-2006 they finally made it to a NCAA Division I conference. The team has never appeared in the NCAA tournament or in the NIT, nor does it have any Conference regular season titles or Conference Tournament Titles either.
The Ospreys are in serious need of changes. The team needs to find a way to attract more talented and organized people to work in the basketball program.
In 2008-2009 the Ospreys finished second to last in their Conference. The team went on to take a 6-14 mark in the Atlantic Sun and 8-22 mark overall. Things are looking a bit brighter for the 2009-2010 season. As of early February, the Ospreys are 6-7 in conference games and 11-12 overall. It’s not very impressive, to say the least, but it is certainly an improvement.
