USC Notes: The More Things Don’t Change
When I say the Allyson Felix Field ceremony was a typical USC production, here’s some examples: Carol Folt used a teleprompter. Like a U.S. president. It’s a ceremony for a track field. It doesn’t require a teleprompter. Allyson Felix didn’t use one. Folt used a teleprompter at the dediction of the track-and-field offices in 2021 and then got frustrated when it malfunctioned.
