This is one I’ve never heard before. A former defensive analyst is saying USC paid kids to take tests on behalf of their graduate assistants?

https://www.latimes.com/sports/usc/...ll-resign-ncaa-violations-20190701-story.html

Their d-coordinator was handing cash to GA's after their request to be able to pay students to do their graduate coursework lol.

Then, after they found out the guy had reported issues to compliance, he was being harassed and eventually given the choice to quit or be fired.

I had to chuckle about his mouse being glued to his desk.

Just when you think things couldn't get much worse for USC, they write a new chapter.

I wonder. Do faked grad school papers cost more than undergrad papers?

The glued mouse was a nice touch.

USC 2019 DB recruit, Jaylen Watson, who came from JUCO at Ventura College has announced that he will reopen his recruitment and will not play for the Trojans because he has “an overload of courses I needed to take this Summer”.

Fight on!

confused about how ostensibly the #22 university in the country could've accepted a JUCO kid in the first place

Friend of graduate heading the USC gives speech at her graduation party - says "she didn't even need an Aunt Becky" - I don't think many of the people there got the joke but I about fell out of my chair laughing.

After USC plays UC Davis in 2021, only ND and UCLA will have never played a FCS team. Someone will take that and calculate from some point in time the historical wins-losses against FBS teams only.

While this is a fun fact to fire back at the "ND doesn't play anyone / Join a conference" folks the bottom line is The better FCS teams like UC Davis are better than a large # of G5's. Davis beat SJSU on the road last year. If they played BG this season, I'd put my moolah on Davis.

SJSU, perennial FBS power.

USC didn't make the cut after leading at one point. Keep Helton forever.

The one game (ASU) he did play he put up good numbers. Not as good as Darnold, but followed him at San Clemente and was very highly recruited.

When he announced the Sears decision Helton also said Bru McCoy's waiver is "still being processed" and Jayden Williams has been ruled eligible.

Sears will stay at USC thru december and then grad transfer.

USC received a commitment from another three star recruit. That makes nine three stars out of eleven so far in the 2020 class. They have recruited five OLmen, all three stars.

Jonah Monheim is a 3* in name only. This kid is a manimal.

Also look for SC to flip Michigan OT commit, Jeff Persi. Him and Monheim are boys. Persi's another one of those underrated 3*'s too.

They need to stay a dumpster fire... it makes the struggles of life so much easier to deal with.
