Why is UF so desperate to associate itself with Tom Petty? Did he ever attend UF?

He was born in Gainesville, and worked on the Grounds Crew at UF...so it's legit for them to claim him.

All the shite they are doing now could’ve been done when he was alive

He was a janitor and cleaned the toilets around UF for a couple of weeks in his early 20s.

UF spun that into some bullshite yarn that he was like Johnny Appleseed, planting trees all over campus, so they named a lime tree after him. Petty admitted that he never planted anything on UF’s campus.

He was born and raised in Gainesville but lived most of his life in Los Angeles.
