ORANGEBURG, South Carolina -- South Carolina State is dangerously close to sitting out two years of athletics.The South Carolina House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Higher Education voted 3 to 1 on Tuesday to close the school for two years, according to The State. That would extend to athletics as well.
The school currently has $10 million worth of debt, and its enrollment has dropped sharply in recent years. The plan, which would shutter the school for the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years, needs approval from the full House and Senate.
he college's board of trustees, administrators, faculty and staff all would be fired, and the school likely would lose its accreditation.
South Carolina State is a member of Division I and plays at the FCS level in football. The team won a share of the MEAC football title in 2014 and made the FCS playoffs in 2013.
