Morning Buzz: USC Plays Part In Massive Chain Reaction

Should Arkansas and Kentucky send USC athletic director Jen Cohen a thank-you letter? Arkansas is expected to hire John Calipari to replace Eric Musselman and doesn’t have to pay anything for a buyout. Kentucky gets rid of Calipari for free. If it fired Calipari, it owed him $32 million. Have USC fans thanked SMU enough for hiring Andy Enfield? That got the ball rolling. Let’s … Continue reading Morning Buzz: USC Plays Part In Massive Chain Reaction

If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column

USC actually comes out in good shape financially by trading Andy Enfield for Eric Musselman. They make about the same money but USC gets a $1 million windfall because Enfield’s buyout ($2 million) was more than Musselman’s ($1 million).
