University of South Carolina-Union Athletics

USC Union competes in the NJCAA, which represents junior college athletics where students can earn scholarships and transfer to four-year programs. The Bantams field teams in 4 varsity sports with 111 total athletes. That means roughly 42% of the campus plays a varsity sport, creating a tight-knit athletic community where teammates know each other well. The school invests $563,055 in athletic scholarships annually, helping student-athletes afford their education. As a regional campus of the University of South Carolina system, Union serves primarily as a stepping stone for athletes looking to continue their careers at larger universities. The small enrollment of 267 students means every game feels personal, with strong community support despite the rural Union County setting.
