The fact USC is charging $150 a ticket for its “spring preview” and welcoming of the “recruiting class to the Trojan Family” came with a kicker. You don’t even get a meal for your $150. USC will serve “hors d’oeuvres.” You have to drive to the Coliseum, put up with listening to Clay Helton and staff and you don’t even get real food?
