USC Morning Buzz: Some Things Don’t Add Up

Now let’s point out a little athletic dept. hypocrisy in between the good feelings about the USC baseball team.

Jen Cohen told the L.A. Times that athletic dept. revenue at USC is up 60 percent the past three years and donors have increased the department’s financial reserves by more than 700 percent since she took over as athletic director.

How hard was she patting herself on the back when she said this?

Now a couple thoughts:

If revenues are up 60 percent in three years, why did the athletic dept. have layoffs last summer? Don’t you think the people who lost their jobs — including some who worked at USC for 20 years — would like an explanation? I guess no one thought to ask Cohen about that.

And if donations have increased $700 million since she took over, why is Dedeaux Field unfinished? Why does she say USC is still $25 million short on fundraising for the project?

Maybe if these things don’t square up, we can’t take seriously some of the comments from the athletic dept. regarding the collapse of the Notre Dame series.

  • Here is the schedule for this weekend’s Super Regional between USC and North Carolina. Note times listed are Eastern.
  • USC pitching coach Sean Allen has been hired as head coach at Lamar.

  3. We have a good chance of winning this regional. Our No. 3 pitcher has now gained some confidence and are top two pitchers will be rested. Our batting is coming around. And other than Auburn and North Carolina, the teams are not highly ranked and both ranked teams appear to be beatable based on their records.

    1. I think I’d work out pretty good, P. T….. until the Los Angeles Times started digging up my old posts on InsideUSC……
