Carlsbad, Calif. – The University of South Carolina athletic department, in conjunction with the Official College Sports Network (OCSN), formerly The FANSonly Network, unveiled today a completely new redesign of the school’s official athletic site, www.uscsports.com. The revamped site combines official athletic department content with the latest in digital technology and design. The site launched with a new look and now features enhanced graphics, upcoming events calendar and an easier to read navigational layout to enhance the fans’ online experience.

Along with the new look, USCSports.com offers expanded efforts to provide alumni, fans and media with complete information on all Gamecock sports. The site features live game broadcasts, live stats, up-to-date scores and statistics, audio and video clips, schedules, interactive games and special feature stories. There will be opportunities to interact online with South Carolina players and coaches. Fans can also purchase officially licensed merchandise through the site’s online store, with proceeds from each sale benefiting the athletic department.

“It is important for us to provide our fans with the most up-to-date information on Gamecock athletics through www.uscsports.com,” said USC Internet Manager Brian Binette. “We’re excited about this re-design. It’s more user-friendly, while still maintaining the excellent updates and service we’ve had since joining the OCSN Network in April. It’s an exciting time in Carolina athletics and www.USCsports.com is new, improved and ready to keep Carolina fans everywhere informed.”
