One of the original purposes of the portal was for players to find a school to get more playing time. But now it’s being used to get better NIL deals. More than 1,200 FBS scholarship players have entered the portal since December 5th. The problem with this is some of these players will not find new schools. There was some real scrambling last season for … Continue reading The Transfer Portal Remains Out Of Control
USC just can’t leave well enough alone when it comes to the venerable Student Union Building. The USC pharmacy, which has probably been in the Student Union for 80-90 years, has been kicked out in favor of one of Carol Folt’s pet projects, the Office of Sustainability.

Still, it’s always a little weird when someone transfers across town — either way. Tight end Caleb Wilson, the son of former USC assistant coach Chris Wilson — went from … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Crosstown Transfer Shuffle
Inside the Galen Center is the Founders Room, where boosters gather before games and at halftime to eat pricey food or drink alcohol and rub shoulders with Mike Bohn. During Saturday’s game vs. Utah, the roof was leaking and rain was falling right on to the dining tables while boosters tried to eat.
