The University of South Carolina Upstate ? a totally superfluous government-run college that already boasts a bloated, scandal ridden athletics department ? is in talks with former North Carolina State University athletics director Lee Fowler.
Why? According to our sources, the school wants to pay Fowler a high six-figure salary to become its next athletics director ? and to start a football program at the glorified satellite campus.?That?s obviously terrible news for USC-Upstate students ? who are currently charged an exorbitant athletics fee of nearly $1,000 a year to support crap like this.
Now USC-Upstate wants to field a football team?
Unreal ?
This is a terrible idea ? and even if it was a good idea, Fowler would be a terrible choice. The aging administrator?- who was basically run out of N.C. State on a rail?three years ago?- was passed over for the athletics director position at the University of Tennessee-Chattanooga just last month.
Of course this is South Carolina ? where unnecessary government always finds a welcome home.
According to our sources, USC-Upstate wants to field a football team to compete against the program recently established at the University of North Carolina-Charlotte. Again, we think this idea is patently ridiculous ? as is the ongoing taxpayer subsidization of ?higher education? in general.
Higher ed is simply not a core function of government ? yet South Carolina continues to perpetuate one of the most inefficient, duplicative systems in the nation to the tune of billions of dollars a year.
