Interesting that the coach who was at Newberry the past five years is now at GCSU. This fall will be his first season.

Even though Newberry is a private school, a student athlete still enjoys all of the academic and financial aid advantages that students at the South Carolina state schools do. They get the Palmetto and the Life, plus other forms of financial and academic aid.

202677, you are correct that tuition at Newberry is the same for both in-state and out-of-state students. At GCSU, Georgia residents pay a reduced rate.

I would still argue however that if soccer talent were equal, there would be advantages for Newberry to recruit within the state.


Kids play sports because they find it fun. Eliminate the fun and soon you eliminate the kid.
