![]() So after talking it over with a few good friends, I have come to the conclusion, that Carolina is no longer a logo, or jersey, but it is becoming a brand.
My question to you is, how can we expand the fan base, while at the same time, maintaining our brand and its worth? With 2 Back to Back National baseball Titles, and one SEC EAST, along with the beat down on National TV of Clemson for the 3rd year in a row.. from a money standpoint, this would be a great time to expand the brand and make money for university... Any Thoughts? |

![]() I'll say this coming from the PA area... if I say Carolina at least 75% plus think UNC.

Just do it for me)...get more South Carolina-affiliated personalities talking about the Gamecocks on national sports programs...do more interviews and "inside-the-program" type stuff with ESPN ('cause you got to go through them)...get on the cover of Sport Illustrated (for good things)...avoid scandals...avoid cheating... OR ...just win...

I travel outside of our state (SC) and say USC and they think Trojans. I say Carolina they first ask North. College Baseball isn't the same national brand that Football and Basketball are, and those 2 schools have more success in those 2 sports. I do believe scheduling OOC games outside of the SE would be a step in the right Direction though, or at least try and get in some of these Kick Off Classics, like the Chick-Fil-A and Cowboy Classic. Another would be a well known hire after SOS retires. He's a big name in college football, sure we may not get someone bigger for our next coach, but a large name in the CFB world would help. But it takes a long time, don't expect in 4 or 5 years to be a well known nationally or top 10 Football program. We have to keep up football success for a while, and can't have years where we fall off and win 5 games. Look at Oregon it's took them close to 20 years be a nationally known football program. And that was with the Help of Phil Knight. |

![]() Yea, the problem is that the "Carolina" logo is definitely one most affiliated with UNC. On the brightside, we've got "Gamecocks" on lock haha.

![]() the best way (in my opinion) to go about building our brand as a University is to go about it two ways:
1. Academically: basically boils down to money, money for research, money to attract the top scholars, and money to improve campus facilities. 2. Athletically: we are unfortunate that our most successful sport isn't one that gets a lot of media attention (although it does recieve a lot more attention now than it did 10 years ago). Improving our teams in the more high profile sports (and even those that get very little media attention) will help. Football is on the way, basketball has been an embarrasment but hopefully with Martin that will change. Quote:
basketball needs to follow the same script (especially once Martin gets things rolling) fewer games with Tenneessee State and Elon and maybe some games with some big conference schools |
