The week continues to get worse for Gamecocks

There was big news coming out of Columbia, S.C., Wednesday night.

After a five-day period where so much has happened concerning University of South Carolina President Bob Caslen, it finally came to a head on Wednesday. The University’s Board of Trustees officially accepted his resignation.

Read the tweet and an official statement from the school below.

Wow. @UofSC President Bob Caslen has resigned following a tumultuous weekend in which he plagiarized parts of his speech and uttered “University of California” during his commencement address. @HarrisPastides returns to his old role as interim president.
