Notes: It’s Feast Or Famine For USC Salaries
I reported recently that USC hired Jeff Martin as its director of scouting/player relations for $150,000. Now I hear that USC got turned down by multiple candidates for its director of creative media position because it tried to low-ball everyone on the salary, which was an issue for people moving to Southern California. It highlights the topsy turvy methods of the athletic dept. There are … Continue reading Notes: It’s Feast Or Famine For USC Salaries
Where Is The Voice For Athletics At USC?
Alex English, an NBA legend and star player at South Carolina, is a member of his alma mater’s Board of Trustees. Can you imagine if USC did something like that? Having an accomplished athlete who understands sports and can add the concerns of athletics during discussions on the university? Whenever USC has had an athlete on its board, it was like they were went out … Continue reading Where Is The Voice For Athletics At USC?
USC Morning Buzz: Nothing Like Whining Over A Victory
USC routed Stanford on Wednesday night and kept itself in position to win the Pac-12. So what does Andy Enfield do?

All he can say? Why can’t he say more … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Nothing Like Whining Over A Victory
USC 79, Stanford 42
What an advertisement for Pac-12/Stanford basketball. Simply awful basketball. USC doesn’t mind, however, as Tahj Eaddy returned to form with 16 points (6-8 FGs) while Evan Mobley had 10 points and eight rebounds in probably his last game at the Galen Center. Stanford missed 44 of 59 shots and shot 25 percent. If USC beats UCLA on Saturday and Oregon loses, the Trojans win the … Continue reading USC 79, Stanford 42
Where Does Evan Mobley Rank?
It feels quick to me but tonight will probably be the last game at the Galen Center for Evan Mobley. So where would you rank him as a freshman? Did he have a better year than DeMar DeRozan? Or O.J. Mayo? Or Harold Miner? Miner averaged 20.6 points per game as a freshman with 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists. Mayo averaged 20.7 points. DeRozan averaged … Continue reading Where Does Evan Mobley Rank?
What Would Full-Capacity Coliseum Mean In 2021?
Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne announced he expects a full-capacity crowd at Bryant-Denny Stadium in the fall. The problem with USC is it cannot expect a full-capacity crowd even if it allows a full-capacity crowd at the Coliseum. USC does not release season-ticket renewals, with good reason. Sales were down, before the pandemic, and the trend continued the past 12 months. As things start to … Continue reading What Would Full-Capacity Coliseum Mean In 2021?
