Suppose everyone in Los Angeles is either a UCLA fan (C) or a USC fan (S). USC fans convert to supporting UCLA at a per-capita rate of 5%. But every time a UCLA fan encounters a USC fan, there is a 1% chance that they become a USC fan. Finally, USC fans get fed up and move to Orange County at a rate proportional to the number of UCLA fans, with a proportionality constant of 0.08. Set up a system of differential equations to describe this situation.
