USC finished 32nd in the 2006-2007 U.S. Sports Academy Directors' Cup standings with 602.75 points. USC finished seventh among SEC teams, four places ahead of rival Clemson. Stanford, which sponsors more than 30 intercollegiate athletic programs, won the trophy for the 13th consecutive year. USC improved 11 spots from last year's 43rd place finish. USC has finished higher than Clemson in the final standings eight of the past nine years. Not surprisingly, the spring sports led the way for the Gamecocks. . .USC volleyball head coach Nancy Somera has resigned her position and will be replaced by her husband, Ben, who was the assistant coach. Somera would say only that she was "exploring a business opportunity." Somera served as the volleyball head coach for two seasons after being hired away from Oregon State in 2005. Bizarre, to say the least.
