Daddy,
I'm fully aware that SCU isn't the only option for SC kids (who knows, some GSP parents may even drive to ATL for it), but as the name of this thread states - it is the only place in SC that offers such a thing.
Bottom line here is that CESA's plan was to be in the Academy but it was shut down by their failed application. By applying they are in essence admitting that USSF is the best program out there. If they didn't believe such then they would not have applied. Any other notion would just be a spin. It is what it is.
