USC Morning Buzz: Rules? What Rules?
This week, the National Labor Relations Board trial continued on the issue of whether USC football and basketball players should be considered employees. I enjoy the unintended things that get said in these trials. Like on Tuesday, when USC executive senior associate AD Paul Perrier testified. Perrier said the USC men’s basketball team has team “expectations” but not team rules, per Front Office Sports. He … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Rules? What Rules?

There is also a jersey of former USC baseball coach/player Mike Gillespie, which is always nice to see. And a Pete Carroll autographed football. Continue reading USC Notes: Pictures Of The Day

Julian Sayin To Ohio State
Quarterback Julian Sayin told ESPN he is transferring to Ohio State. The five-star prospect from Carlsbad left Alabama because Nick Saban retired.
