Thank god the B1G made USC an offer they couldn't refuse. Money means everything to that school- from the athletic department to the medical school, to the school of social services. Cash and carry is their guiding motto.
The farther along this drama plays out, the worse it stinks- for USC.

One of the things that annoys me is USC grad school of education misreporting data to USNWR college rankings from 2013 to 2021 to improve their ranking.

The University of Southern California Rossier School of Education is listed as unranked in the 2023 U.S. News Best Graduate Schools rankings since it withdrew its data prior to the rankings being published in March 2022.

LA will dodge a bullet if the next mayor is not the chairperson of U$C's board of trustees.

re dodging a bullet, unfortunately, the choice is between the lesser of two evils.

Mods or BC - can you fix the typo in the subject of this thread?
USC has been ignoring rules for a loooong time. My sophomore year 1980 they were ineligible for the Pac 10 football title because of academic fraud. "How many USC football players does it take to screw in a lightbulb? One, but 11 get credit." Oldsters like me might remember the name Marv Goux, football assistant coach who was the point person for that scandal and others. But it was all enabled by a system that did not think rules applied to them.
And it is well documented that many staffers in the Nixon White House were involved in rigging elections while students at USC in the 1960s - Donald Segretti, Ron Ziegler, HR Haldeman, Dwight Chapin among others. They called it ratf*****g.

I don’t know. “Corription” is not bad a bad term for corruption so bad it only happens at USC.
Or maybe, I just had a conniption at the corruption.

Agreed with all the comments about a long history of corruption at USC. USC has been the Suharto/Marcos/Sese Seko of the Pac, and now they can take their noxious infection somewhere else.

My family doesn't care for USC, and not just because of our half-dozen Stanford alumni.
My older son and I were discussing his college preferences and he listed half the UC's, Stanford, MIT, Harvard, Princeton and Georgetown. I said, "what about USC?" He screwed up his face, and said "I would literally rather attend a JC."
Four years later, his younger brother and I were returning from a tournament, and I said, "hey, why don't we visit USC? It's a good school." We parked and walked around for eleven minutes (by my watch, I had deposited for an hour at the parking meter), at which point he turned and started to head back to the car. I said, "we're almost at the School for Public Policy, would you like to see it?" Without breaking stride, he looked over his shoulder and said "You can go see it, if you want to. I'm not going here."
I have a very accomplished cousin who attended and was on the Dean's list at USC for one year, and absolutely hated it. I asked him why, and he said "I'll give you just one example. I was doing some photography work for the Daily Trojan. One of the sororities had a fundraiser for overseas child factory laborers. Their fundraising vehicle of choice? Without irony, their method of gathering funds was a fashion show...with clothing likely made by overseas child factory laborers." He transferred to Reed in Oregon, then grad school in HEC Paris, and Yale. He's founder of multiple Silicon Valley companies.
Without going into too much detail, there's a black sheep in our family related through marriage. All three of her kids attended USC...of course.

Now I have a fun story to tell about the guy giving me my diploma in my med school graduation photo.
Thought there was something off about Puliafito from the beginning but I figured it was just because he was an ophthalmologist. Though he did seem a little too into the beer pong at the alumni tailgates after he started....

Good lord. Time for the Pac-whatever to grow a pair and kick them out. Now. Enough is enough.
