Got a coot telling me that Clemson and sc use to be the same school

I have never read anything remotely saying Clemson and sc was at one time the same school .
Has anyone ever seen anything that states that?

I didn't think so but wanted to be sure I hadn't over looked a piece of history
I'd think something like that would be mentioned somewhere on the historical pages of Clemson or sc.

One year after Thomas Green Clemson's death in 1888, Governor Richardson signed the bill that accepted the gift and established the school. In 1893, Clemson Agricultural College opened its doors as an all-male military school. Clemson has always had trustees and funds separate from the University of South Carolina.

Not at all. Both are public, state sponsored schools, but that's it.
Likewise, MUSC is not part of the SCAR/Cack/Landshark/Whatever umbrella. It is and always was a separate state school, like us (I think they may have been a private school for a little while though).
SC State (if they're still accredited) is another land-grant public school too- nothing to do with the Cacks.
Francis Marion and Coastal Carolina used to be part of the University of South Carolina system, though I doubt that's what your pet coot was thinking about. Maybe he was thinking about how most credits will transfer readily between programs at all state schools. Nah, I doubt he was thinking that either. Probably just farting out of his mouth

He was doing some farting. Claims Clemson was split from sc because Clemson didn't want to accept black students.
I've never seen anything remotely suggesting that Clemson and SC were ever the same school.
I told him he must have read that history on the fgf cause it isn't true.

The University of South Carolina shut down and reopened several times since 1801. One of the times it reopened shortly after the Civil War it was an agriculture school, but still located in Columbia. The University of South Carolina got it's final charter in the early 1900s.

That was the year we won the NC. You know coot logic says since they are also in the state of sc that they were us too.
