Updated on Nov. 5, 2026 in Baseball
The University of South Carolina will induct its 2010 and 2011 baseball teams, both College World Series champions, into the USC Athletics Hall of Fame. Seven individual members are being inducted alongside them, including Steve Spurrier and Ty Harris.
Why it matters
The induction marks the first time team units have been enshrined in the USC Athletics Hall of Fame, recognizing back-to-back national titles. It also honors a program that set a record with 22 consecutive NCAA Tournament wins during the 2010-2012 stretch.
The induction covers two championship rosters and seven individuals, with the 22-game consecutive NCAA Tournament win streak standing as a program record for the 2010-2012 span. The stub does not specify the selection criteria used for the team and individual inductions.
