USC has sent out season-ticket renewals for the 2025 season and the deadline to renew is Feb. 28.
There are 10 tiers of plans available and the first seven require buying a membership from the Trojan Athletic Fund, which is basically like a personal seat license. One of my friends pays $3,000 a year for their membership.
In terms of straight ticket prices, one plan is charging $655 per seat for seven home games. Last year, the same seat cost $625 for six games. That means tickets are about $10 cheaper per game.
But . . . look at the home games: USC hosts Missouri State and Georgia Southern at the outset, which are awful games. The only marquee game is Michigan and, I suppose, UCLA, which frankly hasn’t been much of a draw in recent years.
At least the 2024 home schedule featured Penn State and Notre Dame.
With Lincoln Riley getting his way on scheduling, I can’t see much reason to expect any good home games aside from one-or-two Big Ten games.
- USC is hiring Illinois director of player personnel Dre Brown as executive director of personnel and scouting, according to Football Scoop.
This comes on the heels of hiring Notre Dame director of player personnel Zaire Turner for a similar role.
No expense is being spared to add layers of personnel to help Lincoln Riley turn his fortunes around.

SC can win a lot of games next season if, the get some more OL, DL, LB’s, a new coach etc
USC Football, we’re like the government, costly, bloated and inefficient !

ONE of my friends pays $3,000 for HIS (or her) membership. One person does not equal “they”. 😁

$3000? That’s Tier 4, seats between the goal line and the 20 yard line. If you want good seats you have to start at $7000 and go up to $56,000 for the right to buy a season ticket.https://usctrojans.com/documents/2024/2/1/2024-usc-trojans-football-season-tickets-pricing-map.pdf

No kidding. Its the USC football gravy train. How many people do they now employ and at what cost. I thought Folt was being cheap when she refused to immediately fire/replace Helton with a top football coach. It is clear now that money is not an obstacle.

On the flip side, what is going on at Notre Dame. They are losing coaches, key players, their GM and now their GM is taking past and present ND employees with him to USC.
And since USC has now added roughly 1.5 million to it’s payroll to beef up recruiting, are the coaches still expected to travel across the country to evaluate players and make in home visits with recruits and their parents?

Missouri St and Georgia Southern are SC’s opening games. I wonder if ‘Ton-o-Hel’ has the SC game circled on his calendar, and Wiley has to be thinking he can’t win either way– win and it is “You were supposed to win,” or lose and they’ll say, “You lost to Helton?”

Georgia Southern is not an awful game. In fact, the one I am looking forward to the most. Not a Helton fan, but if it would help get rid of the Fraud then Fly Eagles Fly !!

She should have fired 7-6 Sir Lincoln of Riley and hired Pete. 7-6 is a good season for UCLA but is unacceptable at USC. We have enough billionaire alums to buy out the contract. Pete finally gave up and went to the Raiders. Thanks Jen!
