USC Morning Buzz: Football Makes Hire; A National Honor For Baseball

USC generated a lot of publicity Wednesday for hiring a Director of AI. I’m just not sure why. The “first-of-its-kind position” in the sport will build AI models to identify competitive advantages in everything from game planning to scouting. There are other programs doing this too but they just don’t call the person doing it “Director of AI.” As someone told me yesterday, “if it’s … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Football Makes Hire; A National Honor For Baseball

How Are USC-Ohio State Tickets Selling?

How are those USC-Ohio State tickets that went on sale yesterday selling? Well, only three sections that were available Tuesday are no longer available today: Sections 213-215.

USC Morning Buzz: Lincoln Riley Made Almost $12 Million In 2024

Lincoln Riley made nearly $12 million in 2024 according to USC’s federal tax records and went 7-6 that season. That means Riley earned about $1.7 million per victory. This isn’t exactly earth shattering news given that Riley signed a 10-year, roughly $100 million contract but it does provide a specific number. And it means he is making even more in 2026. One would think Riley … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Lincoln Riley Made Almost $12 Million In 2024

USC Morning Buzz: Not Quite The Hottest Ticket In Town Yet

So you’re telling me the USC-Ohio State game is not a sell out? That means Ohio State fans have not yet gone all out on buying tickets for the game. They will. It’s important to remember Coliseum capacity is only 77,500. This isn’t like back in the day when the Coliseum seated 92,000.

Should USC Play Texas Tech Given Current Events?

Last week, CBS Sports said Texas Tech has had communication with USC and Notre Dame about playing a home-and-home series. The fanboys immediately cheered this idea. But in light of today’s ruling on Texas Tech QB Brandon Sorsby, should USC (or Notre Dame) want to play a team like Texas Tech? Wouldn’t it be a black eye for a football program to go out of … Continue reading Should USC Play Texas Tech Given Current Events?

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

There was a report this week that Arizona State had 34 scholarship baseball players. That’s an extraordinary number. The NCAA allowed only 11.7 scholarships for years in baseball but once the House settlement took effect, schools now have fixed roster limits and are allowed to offer a scholarship to every single athlete on their roster (if they can afford it). This raises a question: How … Continue reading If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
