>Their main competitive advantage

Their advantage is institutional buy in and resource allocation.

A collegiate team that has to piss a huge fraction of their man hours on overhead tasks and fundraising has no chance of success.

Isn't their main advantage that every student at USC is rich AF? It's one of the wealthiest student bodies in the land.

At schools like that a pretty decent amount of students are on partial or full rides from scholarship or financial aid fwiw.

[jeffbee]

Somewhat but it's still such a wealthy student body that if everyone in the photo was from a family worth millions that would not even be a very unlikely statistical anomaly.

[asdff]

Apparently at USC the proportion of people on some form of aid is over 2/3.
