COACH GIVES FUNDS TO USC Spurrier’s gift seeks to aid renovations of athletic facilities Ben Crane THE DAILY GAMECOCK USC football coach Steve Spurrier announced Aug. 29 that he will donate $250,000 during the next fi ve years to the athletics department’s capital campaign. Spurrier said in a news release that he knows fans want USC to be able to compete against schools such as Florida, Georgia and Ten nessee. “To do that consistently, we need to improve our athletics facilities to their level,” Spurrier said. Spurrier said he hopes that all fellow Gamecocks will help in raising funds. Associate Athletics Director of Development Chris Wyrick said Spurrier brought the idea to him. “Coach called me on his own and said he felt strongly motivated to kick off this campaign as soon as possible and felt it would only be right to make one of the fi rst gifts,” Wyrick said. Wyrick said virtually all USC athletics programs will benefi t from the campaign, but four key points will be assessed.
