USC Morning Buzz: If You Can’t Compete, Just Expand

A 24-team College Football Playoff. A 76-team NCAA Tournament.

It sounds like two guys who haven’t been able to make post-season at USC (Lincoln Riley, Eric Musselman) are coming up with the latest expansions plans, which you just know USC would support unconditionally.

It’s all about making more money and making it easier to participate in the playoffs. Why compete when you just expand? It’s the same reason behind dropping Notre Dame: Not wanting to compete.

It’s sad when USC women’s water polo is willing to play every good team but football is not.

  1. I would not lay the ND-USC football series collapse on LR or USC. It belongs squarely on ND alone. Now, the fact that LR is relieved he does not have ND on his schedule this season is another matter, because that speaks more to his character and bearing, which in turn is why he is not a fit at USC.

    1. KAM:: Right, Riley Coyote had nothing to do with ending it.

      DON: The new USC Athletic Department talking points are that Notre Dame grew bored with owning Riley Coyote’s pathetic squads and decided they would rather play more challenging programs like BYU.

  2. Joining a conference filled with top 25 football teams [which you have to travel thousands of miles to play in away games…instead of flying a short distance to Cal or Stanford] isn’t exactly evidence of fear….

      Carol Folt [the genius behind our move] wasn’t afraid of anything….

    2. But bailing out of the ND game because they wouldn’t play us earlier in the season IS evidence of fear.

      It had been that way for generations. No legitimate reason to change it.
