Bulls Radio has been the subject of a few controversies since its inception. In June 2010, the USF Student Government President appointed Brett Farrar as the new director of Bulls Radio after an expedited interview process, despite having no previous experience at Bulls Radio or in the radio industry. Vocal opposition to the final USF Student Government Senate vote  confirming Farrar's appointment was silenced when senators voted to remove "Open Forum" from the Senate Agenda during the following Senate meeting. In August 2010, anonymous grievances were filed against Farrar, student body President Cesar Hernandez and Vice President Spencer Montgomery, stating that they had "(broken) several statutes regarding executive branch confirmations on multiple occasions," which amounted to a "total of 10 counts of nonfeasance." In October, the USF Student Government Judiciary and Ethics Committee found that Student Government President Cesar Hernandez and the former Student Government Senate President Pro Tempore were in violation of two statutes when they hired  new Student Government members over the summer, including the controversial appointment of Farrar.
