USC Morning Buzz: Who You Gonna Believe?
I’m in the process of finding out some things about Rick Courtright at USC. But in the meantime, it feels like he and Clancy Pendergast deserve each other. Here’s an excerpt from Courtright’s complaint: “Pendergast also repeatedly thanked Courtright for allowing him to claim many of Courtright’s great ideas as his own.” Does it surprise me Pendergast would take credit for someone else’s ideas?
