No surprise really but USC is left out of the NIT. This puts an exclamation point on a season that was disappointing. There have been many disappointing moments. Two NCAA victories in six years. Two NCAA appearances. But next year’s recruiting class is ranked No. 2. What happens if that team underachieves? USC did not make the CBI or CIT either? Maybe it can play … Continue reading USC Does Not Make NIT
We hear Donna Heinel‘s told people she is “not guilty” of the charges against her in the college admissions scandal. Now would expect anything different? It will be interesting to see what defense Heinel mounts. It will also be interesting to see if she implicates anyone else at USC. I haven’t heard yet what Jovan Vavic is saying to people.

He also won four national championships. So maybe it’s OK to have a few vices if you win. Continue reading Maybe Wanda Austin Needs A History Lesson

About 12 hours later, the athlete went over to Westwood and was immediately accepted by UCLA. The coach is now fairly certain he lost a walk-on so that a … Continue reading A College Admissions Scam Story
Lynn Swann finally spoke about the college admissions scandal and it was as delusional as when he discusses Clay Helton and USC football. “I think everybody was blindsided by this,” Swann told the Los Angeles Times. “Everyone was completely shocked, caught off guard and taken by surprise.” Especially the out-of-touch athletic director who ceded day-to-day duties from Day 1 to his subordinates. The worst part … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Lynn Swann Says He Will Not Resign
