For Immediate Release
Statement from SCSU Athletics Director Charlene Johnson Addressing USC Ticket Concerns
ORANGEBURG, SC – The ticket allocation the University of South Carolina (USC) provided to South Carolina State University (SCSU) for the 2007 football contest, is consistent with their policy for Division 1-AA schools and the contract signed between the two institutions. However, SCSU and USC are keenly aware of the high interest in the first historic meeting of the Universities in football. USC and SCSU have partnered on a number of joint ventures in the past and have been able to find common ground. We are confident that common ground will be found in this instance as well and there will be an amicable resolution in the matter. USC is sensitive to our needs and we are encouraged that they will do all they can to accommodate the loyal fans of SCSU.

I still feel this series of games against instate Div-1AA schools are pretty much a waste of time. If Spurrier and his players have their $h!t together none of them should come within 30 points of USC...if somehow one of these schools beats USC then it pretty much ruins our season, we could have scheduled another power conference team that could have improved our reputation on a national scale on brought in some TV money, instead we are giving away $200,000+ to play an instate school that we should wipe the field with...absolutely pointless
