SAC ST Coach OUT Have you been to the University of South Carolina or the University of Kentucky? THE USC is definitely not small with over 38,000 students. The university is blocks away from the state capital and has a very large footprint. Vandy is smallish with a bit over 13,000 students but Kentucky has almost 36,000 students. Our two oldest children graduated from South Carolina however when our daughter was in high school we visited a number of SEC schools while she was being recruited to play soccer. Most of the schools are pretty impressive.
