but it’s the out-of-state Gamecocks and alumni who generally are unaware of just how bad it is, and they make up a big part of our support base.

This is also a problem, one which nobody at the university will talk about. Having 44% of your freshman class being from out-of-state is an absolute disgrace for a state school. It was half that less than 20 years ago. And therein lies the problem. If you come from somewhere else and go to USC, there's a high chance you leave after you graduate. You then don't vote in any of our state elections, which means USC issues aren't at the forefront. So the more out-of-state students we take, the less political influence we have. And with our piss poor football program and Clemson's multiple national titles, it's obvious who those not predisposed to support either team will root for. I will advise my children to never attend the University of South Carolina, and that saddens me.
