Former USC administrator Donna Heinel was released from prison on July 5. She was sentenced to six months in January for her role in the Varsity Blues scandal. Heinel, 61, plead guilty to wire fraud in November, 2021. She alledgedly took $160,000 from Rick Singer, the ring leader of the scandal. Singer was sentenced to 3.5 years in January.

Jon Rothstein went to USC basketball practice yesterday and he was predictably breathless from what he observed. Example No. 1. USC's overall depth and size at center is staggering.

If Robinson is as good as his hype, there’s no question he should … Continue reading Duce Robinson Goes Undrafted

Hankins has been co-head coach at Missouri the past two years and also was head coach at Nebraska and Iowa. It looks like Paul Perrier, an Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director, made the hire. And last month, the former men’s golf … Continue reading Some Decisions Being Made At USC
When I mentioned USC cornerback Christian Roland-Wallace is moving to nickelback a couple weeks ago, I forgot to throw in one other issue: Does anyone really think Roland-Wallace transferred from Arizona to USC to play nickel back? He came to USC thinking a high-profile program would raise his draft prospects and for the NIL money. He also figured he would start at cornerback since he … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Transfers Don’t Always Get What They Want
