It just doesn’t make sense to me that one of the most attractive and powerful universities in America has chosen not to field a Division 1 men’s soccer team. This is a travesty in college soccer indeed.
USC, other than it’s neighbor UCLA, would be an obvious destination choice for the best soccer players from around the world, looking to pursue a higher education in the States. Yeah, I understand that American Football is king at SC, but you can’t tell me there aren’t enough scholarships left over for a men’s soccer program.
Southern California has long been a hotbed of talented players competing in CalSouth, San Diego’s Surf Cup and the many elite youth programs throughout the area. Can you just imagine how many of those Southern Cali kids would stay home rather than heading east for the programs in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina?
The Pac 10 could use a 7th team, not to mention the other 3 that would make it really a Pac 10, and I think the Men of Troy are a natural fit. C’mon SC alum, get off your Trojan Horse, and convince the powers-that-be it’s time to implement the beautiful game at this beautiful university.
