The university has a cheer squad too, so Torrance would have been able to continue her cheerleading career if she followed him there. However, since "Bring It On" takes place in San Diego, Torrance potentially lives about two hours from the college, so her decision to drive there just to break up with Aaron seems to require a lot of dedication.
When Aaron drops Torrance off at school, Courtney and Whitney are sporting matching blue backpacks. We don't see the other cheerleaders wearing them, which seems to indicate that Courtney and Whitney chose to coordinate their bags on their own. After Torrance's mother berates her for spending more time cheering than studying, Torrance comments that some mothers have killed to get their daughters on cheer squads.
Her mom's quick reply that the mother in question "didn't kill anyone" and, instead, just "hired a hit man" seems like a dark throwaway joke, but this comment could be referring to a real-life true-crime incident that occurred a few years before the movie was filmed.
In , a Texas woman was convicted of solicitation of capital murder for attempting to hire a hit man to kill the mother of her daughter's cheer rival, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Torrance and her cheer team attend Rancho Carne High School. The school name and mascot were made up for the movie, but details and decorations in the background make it feel more realistic. The most noticeable example of this may be the Toros decals and stuffed mascots that can be seen throughout the movie, but viewers can also catch a glimpse of Rancho Carne's alma mater the school song written out on a board in the gym.
