can somebody tell me why USC does not have a softball team?

What's on your mind?

No space for a softball field is what I always heard as the reason. Now that they have control of the Coli and are discussing turning the Sports Arena into a soccer stadium. I would think they could build a softball field on the current soccer site on campus.

My understanding is that USC went with adding Lacrosse instead of softball because Nikias wanted something "a bit more high brow" to be on par with Duke, Northwestern etc.

There's room over by Coliseum, I haven't seen if Mt. Saint Mary's down the street done something with their old field. I think the USC club team practices somewhere by El Camino College.

We also do not have a men's soccer team, which is just baffling to me.

A friend who knew a former ad said they would not put a team on the field unless they could compete (out the gate) with UCLA. That would be pretty hard to do first year. At that time was when UCLA and AZ were the two dominant powerhouses... like around 2004.

By the way USC is not the only school in the PAC without softball. Washington State also does not offer fastpitch softball as a varsity sport.

Two biggest mysteries - USC and Miami with no softball teams. Damn private schools!
