USC will play San Jose State on August 26 at the Coliseum to open the 2023 football season.
This will replace the Trojans’ previously scheduled meeting with BYU in November, 2023. Presumably, this is because BYU is scheduled to join the Big 12 Conference.
USC will play San Jose State, Nevada and Notre Dame as its non-conference opponents in 2023. Scintillating!
But Lincoln Riley probably loves it.
College scheduling is rather poor overall. I don’t know why they can’t make a weekend late in the season so the top 10,12 or 14 teams play a mandated game against another top ranked team. They should also never – never ever- count Victories against FCS or 2A teams. In fact maybe they should penalize the teams for scheduling them. Every year it seems Alabama has a tomato can game right before a key matchup

So Vito——an organ grinder from Northern Italy——was working one hot afternoon along with his monkey that he called John. Vito decided to stop at a nearby bar for a tall cool one. He was enjoying his drink but his little monkey wandered down to the opposite end of the bar where our very own Michael was enjoying a beer. The little monkey immediately jumped up on top of the bar and promptly took a piss right straight into Michaels beer. Infuriated Michael raced down to the organ grinder. Grabbed him And said You idiot. Do you know your monkey just took a piss in my beer?? The guy said uh no. But if you can hum a few bars I’m a gonna try and play it for you !!!!!!!!!!!!

The business model for major football programs today is one highlight/decent non-conference game, then some JV non-conf teams as the rest. They all do it.
Georgia has Samford and Kent State, and Oregon as the highlight.
Auburn has Mercer, Western Kentucky, and San Jose St.
Ohio State has Arkansas State, Toledo, and Notre Dame as the highlight.
The ADs have figured out that this makes the most money for them/gives them the best shot at the playoffs.

When I played at USC 1966-69, our non conference games were Michigan State, Miami, Minnesota, Northwestern, Texas, Georgia Tech, Nebraska in our 1969 opener, and Notre Dame.. Coach McKay seemed to schedule lots of Big 10 Teams.. I was always fun, and I really enjoyed the travel to various stadiums.. We never really had any easy opponents.
We always won!!

Why didn’t they schedule Alabama or OU instead? Challenge yourselves to be the best like USC was use to doing when scheduling games, back in the past. None of these cupcakes like Rice this year. Or San Jose st and Nevada next year. I don’t care if Nevada has a solid program and makes bowl games here and there. They’re still not a blue blood. Time to make USC great again!

As part of the brilliantly executed Mike Slive attack on USC, consider this item (one of many):
2009: Big 12 Texas A& M and Pac 12 USC arrange for home & home series to be played in 2015 & 2016.
July 2012: Texas A&M joins the SEC
May 2013: Texas A&M cancels the Home & Home Series with Pac 12 USC due to “SEC scheduling demands and conflicts”.
2015: Instead of playing Pac 12 USC, they played Pac 12 Arizona State
2016: Instead of playing Pac 12 USC, they played Pac 12 UCLA.
July 2014: Prior to his retirement in July 2015, Slive allows established Nat’l Power Alabama to play a much weaker USC (52-6)
This my friends, is SCHEDULING.
