Do you think Carol Folt would go for Lindsay Gottlieb being considered to replace Andy Enfield? I do. But here’s where I think the plan hits an obstacle.

So Raymond and fellow freshman Elijah Page would start … Continue reading USC Notes: Andy Enfield Ready To Take SMU Offer
A lot of former high-profile USC players are being asked to donate money to the new football building that is scheduled to be built. It makes sense to ask former Heisman Trophy winners and TV personalities for money. But who is going make a monster donation?
