USC Layoffs Under Way
Around 15 people were laid off this week from the fundraising team at the USC Keck School of Medicine, according to sources. This is part of the brutal fallout from the $200 million budget deficit USC had under former president Carol Folt in the recently concluded fiscal year. Maybe someone can ask Lincoln Riley if a football coach should make $11 million while mass layoffs … Continue reading USC Layoffs Under Way

USC Morning Buzz: Fuzzy Math To Cope With Lincoln Riley
Former USC defensive tackles De’Jon Benton and Jamar Sekona are expected to start at Hawaii this season. Key players have transferred out because of a lack of commitment, whether it’s the failure to complete the baseball stadium by next season or unimpressive NIL opportunities. This to me feels like the “real” second year of Lincoln Riley with USC. First year was transfer portal bananza (did … Continue reading USC Morning Buzz: Fuzzy Math To Cope With Lincoln Riley
