Mostly it is.

Well, what should University of South Carolina be called then?

U of SC not USC

When I was getting a grad degree at the University of South Carolina, the school sweatshirts people wore were either "USC" or "Carolina". Both terms mean something else to out of state folks, but "Carolina" is clear to the target demographic. Nobody in Columbia particularly gives a crap what people from out of state call the school in southern California or the one in Chapel Hill, and it doesn't occur to them to ever give it a thought.

Nobody ever said "U of SC" and I've never seen that printed anywhere.

Google using those words and you will see.

+1 USC is trademarked for U California

No it isn't, University of California is now widely known to represent the UC network of schools in the system. However UCB or University of California at Berkeley, also known as "Cal" is the original flagship as the first. USC is University of Southern California and as others have posted, a simple Google search will show South Carolina represented as U of SC.

USC is trademarked for U of Southern California is indeed a correct statement.

That is not what was said so no, what was posted was incorrect and thus corrected.

Both colleges can’t trademark the same name.
University of South Carolina lost the case.

Our son went test optional, doesn't do well on standardized tests. He's a B student, one sport, good outside employment. So far has gotten in to four large state schools (Big 10 and SEC), three of them for engineering. Haven't heard from any of the Virginia schools yet (where we live), waiting to hear from some others as well. We over-applied due to test optional and not knowing how many '20 kids deferred.

Ok this back and forth about USC on this thread had to be the most annoying yet... start your own thread if you want to debate this.
