SOUTH CAROLINA
The real USC? Israel Mukuamu debates 'Good Morning Football' host
Which school is the real USC?
It’s not much of a debate if you ask Gamecock defensive back Israel Mukuamu.
During a recent appearance on the NFL Network’s Good Morning Football, Mukuamu was given the opportunity to debate show host Kyle Brandt and it’s pretty clear who won this battle.
As Mukuamu points out in the clip below, Southern Cal isn’t even a state.
It’s also worth mentioning the University of South Carolina was founded in 1801. California became a state in 1850.

Izzy pls
A better discussion is who is the real ‘Carolina’ South Carolina or North Carolina.
The last time Southern Cal has been relevant with any of the 3 major sports was in 2005 with football.
Since then, South Carolina has been on the national stage multiple times in football, baseball, and that crazy Final Four basketball season.
I’ve been to the Southern Cal vs UCLA game at the Rose Bowl. The area was beautiful but I felt like I was at a glorified high school football game. Half the fans had their backs to the field during the first half talking to other people instead of watching the game.
Awesome!
University of South Carolina founded in 1801
State of California founded 1850
University of Southern California founded 1880
South Carolina was using the trademark USC long before Southern California was even a concept. They just became interlopers and registered the trademark before South Carolina did to try and establish relevancy.
