University of South Carolina Spent $535,000 in NCAA Case

The University of South Carolina spent more than $535,000 to defend itself against allegations that Gamecock athletes received more than $59,000 in improper benefits.

The school said Wednesday it spent $535,667.50 in connection with the NCAA investigation. The governing body last Friday placed South Carolina on three years of probation and said it failed to properly monitor its athletic department. But the NCAA did not impose additional penalties outside those the school placed on itself in its December response to the NCAA's allegations.

Romney Hires Bush Economic "Experts"


If you enjoyed the economic catastrophe that befell the United States in 2008, you'll be glad to hear that Governor Romney has hired the economic team that brought it to us.
There’s not much in politics that allows me to say, “I’m old enough to remember when.” But here’s one: I’m old enough to remember when George W. Bush was president.

It was, after all, only four short years ago. And it didn’t go so well. The Bush economy is one of the worst on record. Median wages dropped. Poverty worsened. Inequality increased. Surpluses turned into deficits. Monthly job growth was weaker than it had been in any expansion since 1954. Economic growth was sluggish. And that’s before you count the financial crisis that unfurled on his watch. Add the collapse to the equation, and Bush’s record goes from “not so good” to “I can’t bear to look.”

Congressman Gowdy Exposes the Personal, Ideological Agenda of Kathleen Sebelius

Once again our own Congressman, Trey Gowdy from Upstate South Carolina, has directed his sharp legal mind to the defense of the United States Constitution.
