BLVD, the USC-run NIL collective, is no longer in existence.
And frankly, good riddance.
The partnership with the media agency Stay Doubted always seemed questionable and what did it really accomplish? Caleb Williams got his deals himself and Jordan Addison was the Biletnikoff Award winner when he transferred.
The rank-and-file players didn’t see a lot.
The donors who funded BLVD will continue to have an NIL but it will be separate from USC and it will be a non-profit.
At the end of the day, BLVD was all hype and little substance, so it’s a positive to see it disappear.
And let’s not forget that disastrous initial video they produced that Mike Bohn had to apologize for.
What is the problem? Why is it taking so long to get this USC NIL ball rolling? Most of the other big schools in the country have their NIL thing up and running. But not USC. When someone outside the university tries to get it done(Student Body Right), USC shuns them despite the fact that they haven’t got a clue how to do it themselves.

It’s USC, they should have called it FUBAR or SNAFU, USC can’t get out of their own way these days unless it’s to educate as many Chinese kids as possible or find another word that is triggering to many, like ” field “

Parcel, Frank & Hot Lips were characters on M*A*S*H.
Carol sort of earned her Hot Lips nickname. Bohn only gets his because “Frank” was Hot Lips’ war time lover.

No So Cal, Major Houlihan was “Hot Lips.” Dr. Frank Burns was just Frank.
If there’s anybody on this blog that could be a “Frank” it would be a toss up between Crabs and ’67. I lean slightly more toward ’67 as the blogs “Frank.”

Hence part of the reason Riley and USC couldn’t get a majority of those recruits. The fact that USC was in the finals for some of those players were nothing short of amazing when you consider how amateur the BLVD really was. Hopefully Lesson learned…

Nothing could have been more uninspiring than “Stay Doubted”.Why not just call it , “Don’t Believe?” Or, “Be Sceptical?” LAME. BLVD lost it’s cred when Clay wore an apron with their logo on it while Barbecuing. LEAVE NO DOUBT is a better fit. GO WITH IT! Charles – The “Frank & Hot Lips” is a Classic that is gonna stick!

If there is a group of upright business men wanting to do the right thing and not trying to make a buck, then USC admin has to get the fuck out of the way. They should stand back and perhaps learn some things that they obviously got wrong to begin with. Funny how it all went to hell after Sosna left. He was the only brain in the admin room.

Is Scott finished dishing out SC “news” for the night?–
Well, time (for me at least) to turn to the likelihood of SC basketball making a dent in the 64-team basketball tournament that is called “March Madness:–
Well, SC is in 3rd place in the Pac-12 with the possibility that only 4 teams will be invited–
Arizona St has a remaining schedule that will ‘kill them off’
Utah is the most worrisome for SC fanatics as they get ASU tomorrow night (Feb 19)
and then Colorado later on, with sucla and SC waiting in the wings
SC has Stanford tomorrow Feb 18 in a “must win game”
then the team is traveling to Utah (probable loss) and Colo (hopefully a win)
while finishing with Arizona at home (probable loss) and then Arizona St.
(a game that SC might need to qualify for the NCAAs)

Why boulevard was my original question. A wide tree lined street in a city? What does that even mean? Sounds racist I’m sure I could convince Carroll Folt of this thought. Why trees Carroll?
Anyway perhaps the tree lined streets are supposed to denote wealth, but in LA it means outdoor plumbing for the tent at its base. We need something called, “Show me the Money.”
