I’m not hanging on every word of the Todd McNair trial because I don’t think a $50 million judgement in his favor will erase the sting of NCAA sanctions. Money for an assistant coach doesn’t do that for me. But I want to address something McNair said on the witness stand last week.

Swann might intend to make a move but even his “State of Troy” newsletters … Continue reading USC Afternoon Notes
