USC Notes: You Just Never Know Who Graduated
Bronny James will be just another celebrity offspring at USC. Kobe Bryant’s daughter already goes to USC.

Carol Folt Made Nearly $4 Million
When USC forced Max Nikias to step down and hired a new president, there was a feeling the university (Rick Caruso) would reign in the salary of the position. Whether USC did depends on your definition of “reign in the salary.” USA Today reports Carol Folt made $3.9 million according to Federal Tax Records for 2021.

Hunter that said, “Hunter was athletic director for 32 years (1925-57) at USC but is largely forgotten today, unfortunately. He presided over USC’s transformation into a national championship power in many sports.” Well, here is what USC social media has posted for … Continue reading USC Needs A History Refresher
