USC-Aiken athletic director Lew Perkins says small schools rely on booster clubs to compete for top talent as scholarship limits bite. The Pacer Club launched Catch Pacer Fever Day with 200+ attendees, aiming to sustain aid through Sept 15 amid tight budgets and rising demand.
USCA Aiken coach Perkins explains a 68 400 total athletic budget masks only 42 000 for the department and 26 400 for scholarships sourced from the Pacer Club and guarantees. He cites 13 900 spent on recruiting last year and urges community support, aiming for 40 000 to boost scholarships and programs.
USC Aiken coaches push for 22 total full scholarships to compete yearly. Men's basketball would get seven, women's basketball five, volleyball five, and baseball five, replacing current totals of 3.6, 2.7, .9, and 1.8 respectively. Coaches cite budget limits and housing costs as barriers to recruiting top talent.
