#3: College Sports
Greenville does fall into the category of being a "college town" as a result of how many collegiate schools it has in town. This includes Bob Jones University, North Greenville University, Greenville Technical College and Furman University. Greenville also has campuses related to Clemson University and the University of South Carolina.
Of all the schools mentioned, Clemson University is the one most talked about on an international level. Beyond its huge endowment, strong education and consistent academics, Clemson is a popular school when it comes to sports teams. Its football teams plays in the NCAA's Division I, and reportedly all of its athletic programs are part of the Atlantic Coast Conference. Clemson has six national championships, including two for soccer, one for golf and three for football.
Notable graduates of Clemson include former MLB pitcher Kris Benson, PGA U.S. Open champion Lucas Glover, two-time Super Bowl champion Dwight Clark, eight-time NFL Pro Bowler Brian Dawkins, popular NFL wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins, three-time NCAA All-American (and "Super Bowl Shuffle" participant") William "Refrigerator" Perry and former WWE wrestler Rory McAlister of The Highlanders. In turn, when watching a Clemson game, someone you're watching on the court or field has a strong likelihood of turning pro.
