FC: USC Athletic Director Mike Bohn puts Pac 12 on notice....

[psuro]

In other USC news, the Lori Laughlin case is ongoing. LL is arguing that "pay for play" is SOP and ongoing at USC. In other words, what LL and other stars did is simply the way USC has been doing biz all along. In discovery, much was redacted by prosecution and USC. This week, a judge ordered the internal communications to be un-redacted. What does this mean? It means USC's admissions may be exposed for being corrupt to the bone.

Joe Paterno was roasted in the court of public opinion. I will roast Lori Loughlin in that same court. I don't care what motion has been filed.

Spokane is a lovely city.

That said, Wazzu also plays an occasional home game in the Seahawks Stadium. (What ever it is called).

I assume Wazzu is Washington State? Isn't WSU located in Pullman? Is Pullman near Spokane? I have only been to Spokane once while TDY to the USAF base nearby. Spokane is a nice smaller town.

If the Trojans pulled out, there would be many upset people.

Especially if they were expected to clean up the mess.

You are correct on Washington State being located in Pullman. I fly in to Spokane on hunting trips out west and Gonzaga is located in the city of Spokane, which had a population of 220,000 in 2019. Pullman has a population of 34,000 and Washington State has an enrollment of 29,000. Gonzaga is a private Roman Catholic school with an enrollment around 7,500.

Doesn't USC receive an unproportionally large cut of Pac14 revenues?

Is there a joke I'm missing? It's the Pac 12, and they can actually count. Or is that the joke?

They're clearly not very smart people. If I'm as wealthy as they are, I walk into the USC Admissions office, show them my beautiful daughter and her adequate transcripts, and then say, 'You know, I'm really passionate about acting and the arts. I'd like to set up a scholarship for deserving art students. Also, maybe some funding to host visiting performers/professors - at USC's discretion of course. How much should I make the check for?'

Cheap. The going rate to get your "developmental" in starts at $10mm. Nobody in the admissions scandal forked over near that much, except, IIRC, someone from China.

yeah...based on what we've seen publicly from the FBI...and what I've seen from my personal experience....not a surprise.

I think “Judge” Freeh should investigate, collude with whomever he wants, badger interviewees, dish out a report in record time, hold a presser, smear some good people with no evidence, be paid millions and then ‘SC’ can blame it on somebody. They can ‘move on’.

sound like a plan?

Yeah still waiting for the jack hole to come back and answer questions like he promised at the joke of a press conference.
