Putting compensation aside, is South Carolina a better job than Arizona?
In the SEC East the big dogs are usually Tennessee, Georgia, and Florida. And recently, Missouri has been doing well. In the Pac-12 South, it's USC and UCLA, and maybe ASU that are consistently on top. Think of Utah as maybe Missouri. I'd say the SEC is on balance tougher to win at South Carolina than the Pac-12 is at Arizona. But neither South Carolina or Arizona has ever won their conference anyway. As far as resources go, there are only three major state universities in Arizona; UA, ASU, and Northern Arizona. The only real advantage South Carolina has over Arizona is that SC probably produces more elite football talent than AZ. Â
I'd say South Carolina is a lateral move at best. What do others think?
