USC Trojans just hired the former Head Coach at Loyola Marymount. There are a multitude of excellent articles on how difficult it is for USC to compete on an even scale due to the 11.7 scholarship restrictions. Swann talks extensively about it. He specifically mentions how certain schools are able to circumvent the scholarships and others cannot. Despite possessing a top-20 endowment, USC will never be able to implement an Operation Vanderbilt and he discusses this.
USC seems to be lobbying the NCAA (i.e. the SEC). We will see if it helps us down the line.....
On another note, am wondering if this new hire will pan out. This new coach has head coaching experience, but the former one was a much better recruiter....
