New rule to fix one-and-done illogical


By
 in ,
The one-and-done problem in college basketball is one of the hallmarks of the highly dysfunctional National Collegiate Athletic Association. The NCAA has tried to define itself as an amateur sports organization, distinct from the numerous professional leagues in the sports world. But the one-year gap between high school and professional basketball only blurs the line […]

Baseball off to best start since 1988

During the NBA playoffs and March Madness you can definitely find me glued to my TV and getting constant game updates on my phone. During the regular season, however, I cannot be bothered to sit through an entire game unless USC is playing. Football and baseball reign supreme in my heart, and the months between […]

Williams will be one of the greats

This past weekend, the USC football program had seven members of last year’s team participate in the NFL Combine. Overall this was an impressive number of invitations for the Trojans, who tied Oregon for the most players represented from the Pac-12. The player whose performance will receive the most attention until draft time are is […]

Men’s soccer is absent at USC

USC is home to some of the greatest sport teams in the country. With over 120 national championships in sports ranging from football to water polo, you could say USC is the school to attend for student athletes. However, even with all the national championships, Olympians and Heisman Trophy winners, something feels missing. Soccer is […]

Become a man through sports

I think that many can agree that the journey from boyhood to manhood isn’t an easy one, especially because the notion of “manhood” is such a vague and misunderstood one. Playing sports can be a great vehicle for boys who are making the transition, but it can sometimes prove to be a great downfall. As someone […]

The mercy rule is one of the great policy innovations in American history. Up there with the likes of the 13th Amendment and the Interstate Highway Act, the mercy rule has defined what it means to be a citizen of this country by preventing Little League baseball games from going on way too long. Unfortunately, […]

Time to celebrate spring sports

I would like to make a toast … to the many USC squads that have put up with a  good amount of the Trojan faithful that seem to only care about football. Now that 2015 National Signing Day is finally behind us and USC football has once again asserted itself as a recruiting powerhouse, I […]

Micah is the man of USC athletics


By

He’s the perfect combination of Cody Kessler and Marcus Mariota. Like Kessler, he’s a standout student athlete at USC, he leads a prolific Trojan offense and he does not get the attention that he deserves in the national media. But like Mariota, he’s arguably the best player in his sport in all of college athletics; […]

USC baseball will see playoffs

According to the groundhog, we still have six more weeks of winter. Maybe it’s the Southern California sunshine and the lack of a traditional winter, but I have already moved past winter and am focused on the spring. And for me, spring means the return of America’s favorite pastime. Luckily, baseball fans don’t have to […]

USC on top after Signing Day


By
 in ,
If a college football program were to describe its ideal signing day, it would be eerily similar to what transpired for USC last Wednesday. The Trojan football team performed perfectly in what could go down as one the greatest national signing days in USC history. While that might sound hyperbolic before spring practice even begins, […]
