The future of the USC-Notre Dame series is starting to get more attention and now Pat Forde of Sports Illustrated has weighed in. Forde reports Notre Dame wants a long-term extension but USC wants to only extend the deal one year.

Lane Kiffin said in a recent podcast that when he was at USC, only 30 percent of the students knew who he was. Is that bad? I don’t know if he is accurate but back when he was at USC, he wasn’t exactly a people person. He is more engaging now and seems to care more about being a popular personality.

Now if only USC got the results for that salary. I make the comparison because Cohen is getting paid enough to make some big decisions. So why doesn’t she just tell … Continue reading Saturday Buzz: USC Outpays Football Powerhouses
USC held its graduation ceremony Thursday night at the Coliseum. It was an odd atmosphere for those used to the traditional Friday morning ceremonies on campus. But Carol Folt wanted to lock down access to the event, which is easier to do at the Coliseum. This was the scene Thursday evening as students and families made their way from campus to the Coliseum. They called … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
