Chad Baker-Mazara is no longer a member of the USC basketball team, the school announced this afternoon.
Baker-Mazara said he was hurt and could no longer play during yesterday’s loss to Nebraska and then sat next to the bench in seats with fans.
This ending doesn’t surprise insiders in the college basketball world. I mentioned last June when Baker-Mazara transferred to USC that this would be a volatile situation.
“You put crazy and crazy together, and it might just work,” Baker-Mazara said about his relationship with Eric Musselman.
Or it might not. Baker-Mazara averaged 18.6 points per game but Musselman invested several million dollars of NIL into the guard, who is now no longer on the team.
Between Baker-Mazara and the injured Rodney Rice, USC wasted millions this season.

Let’s leave this alone.
Mental illness is nothing to laugh about or be cynical with snarky commentary.
Let’s wish the kid a good long life who hopefully didn’t waste his NIL money.

You do you. Everyone else can post what they like.
If someone comes to my alma mater and takes millions to play for us, they need to be prepared to take the good with the bad. I know you love to play the part of victim. Not all of us buy into that.
