If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Columm
This column will be Gary Patterson free, for better or worse. The Big Ten and Fox Sports are pushing for a 24-team College Football Playoff. That’s grotesque but if it happens, will Lincoln Riley agree to play Notre Dame again? The Festival of Books is one of his coups after he stole the event from long-time host, UCLA.

What A Difference Four Years Makes!
Four years ago, USC set a record for its highest-attended spring football game with 33,427 fans. How did we go from that to the few hundred who showed up at a fan appreciation day?
