This City of Columbia is a cesspool...It really is. This University and stadium is in Downtown Columbia and the place has no "college town" feel. It is not the type of school where a recruit can be impressed with the facilities and location...Sure, the SEC money is allowing them to put lipstick on a pig with nicer facilities, but a lot of quality schools in the South have pumped in ton of cash on facilities and USC has no advantage..

Most South Carolina fans think they only started playing football about 5-6 years ago. They did not go their first bowl until 1995....

Their Baseball trophy case is more impressive than anything they have

What CU Tigers means by cesspool is that Columbia has a large population of African Americans. In Clemson, they do not tolerate black people who are not playing a varsity sport.

Nevermind that Columbia boasts the only National Park in the State and is surrounded by thousands of times the acreage of rivers, lakes, farmland, and public outdoor space than Meth Valley ever dreamed of.

To the OP- the reason is quite simple. Our Board of Trustees is and always has been much more concerned with taking care of friends and family than they are about winning. Until that changes, not much else will.

Clemson fans are just freaked out because Columbia has minorities.

i disagree with this, I think 5 points, Devine Street, and the Vista do have a college town vibe to it. it would be cool of the stadium was closer to campus or down close to the river but from a traffic standpoint it is in a good location near the interstate.
