Morning Buzz: Washington Becoming Official Threat To USC

What’s the saying, two is a coincidence, three is a trend?

I said yesterday I agreed with the oddsmakers that USC was the Pac-12 favorite this fall. But Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News disagrees.

Whether USC did depends on your definition of “reign in the salary.” USA Today reports Carol Folt made $3.9 million according to Federal Tax Records for 2021.
