Just picked this one up for 125
We asked USC’s Director of Sports Information Tim Tessalon why USC has no Softball Team and if the PAC-12 powerhouse had ever considered starting a softball program.Yes, because of the saturation of talent in Southern California plus.... do you not think that the coaches at Oklahoma, Florida, Florida State, Arizona State, Oklahoma State... wouldn't jump at the chance to go home to California and start a Trojans softball program? Or just say USC does what UCLA baseball did and hire a top assistant from cross town and Lisa Fernandez starts the USC Softball program. They would have their choice of the best coaches in softball.
And all the girls from and in Southern California who are filling up the rosters and incoming classes of other schools across the country....those girls whose daddies walk around every weekend with USC hats and sweatshirts on, that sit in USC chairs at the games.... they'd all jump at the chance to start a Trojans softball program.
USC has more national titles in men's sports than any D1 college in the nation, ucla and Stanford lead USC in overall national titles but that is because the Trojans have historically fielded very few women's athletics teams. They recently started soccer and won 2 national championships in their first handful of seasons. The school also just hired a woman President so softball at USC is becoming more and more of a possibility.
I figured that you meant South Carolina when you mentioned the "upstate" part but USC in college athletics will ALWAYS mean The University of Southern California. The Trojans have twice as many National Championships in baseball as any other school.

We asked USC’s Director of Sports Information Tim Tessalon why USC has no Softball Team and if the PAC-12 powerhouse had ever considered starting a softball program.
“USC did an extensive study about 15 years ago on the feasibility of adding softball, but determined that there was not available adequate space on or near campus for a stadium and accompanying facilities that would allow USC to compete at the highest level in the sport,” stated Tessalon.
Where there’s a will, there’s a way.About the only logical reason I can think of.

Personally, I could not care less if USC dropped all sports and closed their doors , but to use this as an excuse for decades just shows me that they are unwilling to even bother with trying to support the sport. It might mean their football program would have to release/share some funding and real estate to make it happen, and doubtful that would ever happen.
what are you saying here? Are you talking about their home games? That's only 7 days out of the year. UCLA has 2 full size football practice fields on campus. That's where they spend the other 358 days of the year.UCLA plus football a half hour drive away from campus (on a good day). Student groups hire busses to get to games.
