Former USC tailback Quinten Joyner is expected to transfer to Texas Tech, according to Matt Zenitz.
Texas Tech?
Joyner visited Ohio State last week. That’s an understandable move. But Texas Tech?
So did Texas Tech simply offer the most money? What was USC prepared to pay Joyner that caused him to leave in the first place?
From Tommy Trojan to Raider Red? As they say in England when something crazy happens in soccer, “the game’s gone.”
InsideUSC with Scott Wolf 
On3 said Joyner wanted $500,000 and SC told him they can’t get close to that number. Can’t believe Texas Tech gave him $500,000. And the guy would have competition at Ohio State. Looks like the kid made a bad move.

Bad move? He is a Texas native. Great move for him. Tahj Brooks ran for over 1300 years this season for Tech and Joyner will take his place.

Did he get 500K from Tech? Does playing for Tech in an inferior conference improve his draft stock?

Does playing for a mediocre Big Ten team that runs the Air Attack help any running back’s draft stock?

Scooter,
SC needs to get away from paying players. This is a game that they cannot win. With players demands to stay, it will cost SC around $20 mil. a year. Get back to old school and if the kid wants to play arcs then he will for the love of the game. The longer the NIL lasts, the further away we get from a kid committing to the school and wanting to play for that school.

T Bruins,
SC and ucla need to get better. They need to dictate the league and have the league championship go throng the both of them. SC and ucla need to dominate ohio st and michigan. The other teams will fall if SC and ucla can get going. With the coaching staff that both teams have, this will be tough.

You’re right but SC would be about as competitive as Hawaii

UCLA and USC squandered their moral authority for 30 pieces of silver. No one is going to listen to the whining about how it isn’ fair from two Big 10 mediocrities now. If Folt and Blockhead hadn’t conspired to blow up the Pac 12 they would still be listened to. Now ex-Pac 12 losers ASU and Colorado have more standing nationally than USC and UCLA!

Budda,
This is a pipe dream, but if SC could get a coach like Carroll, then maybe SC could recruit. However, reality says that you are correct.

Since the NCAA no longer has rules or any ability to enforce them it’s time for the conferences to implement and enforce NIL/payola rules. No payola for incoming Freshman. Only one transfer per player. No interconference transfers. Good luck.

Sorry the US Supreme Court ruled otherwise. Writing for the court, Justice Neil Gorsuch said that the NCAA had essentially sought “immunity from the normal operation of the antitrust laws”.
In a concurring opinion, Justice Brett Kavanaugh noted that “the NCAA’s business model would be flatly illegal in almost any other industry in America.”
“The NCAA is not above the law,” he said.

Correct Gabby. That is why the conferences as opposed to the NCAA need to establish and enforce the rules. Much more difficult to establish anti-trust against a conference. And the Supreme court only addressed NIL – the ability of individual players to profit off of their name, image and likeness. What we have now is mostly payola.

Maybe Joyner was homesick for Texas, his home state. They do things a bit differently down that way and some of them believe Texas is actually a country
