Remember last week I wrote about Carol Folt wanting the USC-Arizona game played on Saturday because of “Trojan Family Weekend?” Well, it didn’t take long for Folt to promote the weekend now that she has a Saturday football game as the centerpiece as this graphic was sent out this week. What time will the prawn sandwiches be served in Alumni Park? It’s not exactly surprising … Continue reading USC Notes: Low Expectations For Baseball And Folt Starts Promoting!

I’d say the crowd at the Coliseum today looks like a garden-variety USC game. Maybe even a little better. Let’s see if it’s a real crowd count or the same as a USC game (announced crowd). There’s probably more defense on display today than at a Pac-12 game. A battle under the lights in Los Angeles!

He’s … Continue reading USC Names Commencement Speaker

It will be harder than ever to get into USC this year. The university will admit 7,900 students out of 81,000 applicants. That is an all-time low admission rate of 9.75 percent. Safe to say the scandals have not taken any toll on USC. Neither has the tuition cost of $61,503 (before room and board). But USC desirability is what allowed Rick Singer to pull … Continue reading USC More Difficult Than Ever To Gain Admittance

Why do I get the feeling Larry Scott will eventually become part of the latest Pac-12 scandal, which revolves around a Pac-12 Network distributor claiming it overpaid as much as $50 million. The overpayments occurred in 2016 according to an audit. The unidentified distributor claims they also happened before 2016. Scott was interviewed during a recent invenstigation into the matter that resulted in the removal … Continue reading USC Saturday Buzz: What Did Larry Scott Know?
