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.

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.

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.

This is all on SC. SC made ND move the game back in the day from LATE Nov to October in South Bend because of the cold weather.

I agree with MG. Criticize LR all you want…he is in a high profile position that should take heat. But, ND may be a Catholic school but the people running it are not saints. They could have compromised, but didn’t. That is on them. I would never take the side of ND against our Trojans. And, to reiterate I enjoy all of Scotts posts about anything having to do with USC because everyone who said this is a USC post not just sports is correct. Fight on, Dan, Class of 1962

SC could have kept playing them in October, period.

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….

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.

Yes, there is some stupidity…but there is also some wanting to make the playoffs in spite of having to go against Indiana, Penn State, Ohio State, Oregon, Iowa, Washington and Michigan….
