Whenever USC announces a project like the new $38 million soccer stadium, I hear from people in the athletic dept. who are being told to cut their budget or that there is no money to do certain things right now. Of course, $38 million is a snip when it has the total backing of Carol Folt. No worries about the Pac-12 cutting $4-6 million to … Continue reading New Stadium Overcomes Belt Tightening
