This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

They have had a tough couple years with the Varsity Blues by Raoul
mess (they seemed to be the most popular school of the bunch) and then all their problems with administrative leaders.
That said, they are a VERY rich school with a huge ego and thus I expect them to throw piles of money at someone (cue Urban Meyer) to right the ship. They just did this at their business school, hiring away the Dean of Wharton. Different situation but same concept - they believe money can fix all problems. They will have a great program again even if it takes $15M a year coach.
P.S. USC I am sure loves its rise up the USNWR scale (just like ND) but it still hqad FB in its DNA.
