From a purely developmental perspective, there's no doubt South Carolina produces more "big-time" college football, basketball and baseball prospects than it does big-time soccer prospects.
FWIW, the same can be said for California, Texas, Florida, etc.
I would hasten to pint out that, in addition to USC, schools such as CofC, Furman, Coastal, Wofford, etc., play a pretty darn good brand of college soccer, that holds up well in the so-called "big time."
