If It’s Friday, It’s Time For A USC Notes Column
Imagine being Trace Armstrong, the college football agent who represents Lincoln Riley and Brian Kelly. Riley tells Armstrong to convince Kelly to cancel the USC-LSU game. Kelly then tells Armstrong he doesn’t want to cancel the game. That’s the straightforward version. But imagine the actual conversations when dealing with egos like Riley and Kelly.

Notes: Late Night With USC
USC now has two 8 p.m. kickoffs against Utah State and Rutgers. I already see some fanboys defending it. They obviously don’t speak to the rank-and-file fans who hate getting out of the Coliseum at 11:30 p.m. and then having to fight traffic to get home. Not to mention those who take public transportation, which is often unavailable when the game ends. But I’ve even … Continue reading Notes: Late Night With USC

What does he care about “the greatest intersectional rivalry in college football.” He didn’t seem to have much interest in the UCLA … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Will Lincoln Riley Continue Notre Dame Series?
Fort USC Suffers A Breakdown
Carol Folt still has security checkpoints where you must show ID to enter the USC campus. And an ID doesn’t get you on campus, you have to register before you even show up to the campus. But yesterday around 6 p.m., three teen-agers broke into a Starbucks inside the USC campus that is literally right next to the McCarthy Way checkpoint and has about a … Continue reading Fort USC Suffers A Breakdown

Scholarship limits for individual teams are expected to be lifted as a result of the NCAA’s huge anti-trust settlement and revenue sharing plan. That could mean sports like USC baseball could become fully funded. Baseball currently allows 11.7 scholarships. Imagine if USC no longer to offer partial scholarships against public schools? A player currently would pay at least $32,000 at USC vs. $3,500 at Cal … Continue reading USC Notes: Good News For Baseball?
