The Pac-12 will name its new commissioner late Thursday morning, according to John Canzano of the Oregonian. Who will Carol Folt and Co. choose? Folt is part of the five-person search committee so she has a bigger say than some might assume. The scary part is just about anyone could get the job although there has been speculation about Oliver Luck, the former West Virginia … Continue reading Pac-12 Expected To Name Commissioner Today
University of South Carolina president Robert Caslen resigned today. Caslen mistakenly congratulated graduates during his graduation speech as the “newest alumni of The University of California.” He also plagiarized two paragraphs of the speech that were originally made by retired U.S. Navy four-star Adm.

Now Do Football
USC tailback Stephen Carr is going to enter the transfer portal, according to USCFootball.com. On one hand, this is interesting because the fanboys said Carr was the best tailback in spring practice. On the other hand, Carr has not been happy for several seasons and this highlights a bigger problem: Running backs are starting to realize this offense is not friendly to a running game. … Continue reading Report: Stephen Carr To Enter Transfer Portal
