There has been plenty of discussion surrounding the current 12-team College Football Playoff and possible expansion to 16, and even 24, teams. That picked up even more steam today when the American Football Coaches Association threw support behind the idea of an expansion to 24 teams. What are the arguments on the Pro side of this expansion, and what would this mean for the USC Trojans and schedul...

The USC Trojans have an extremely talented backfield, which will be led by Waymond Jordan and King Miller.

We have felt good about Alifeleti 'Tolo' Tuihalamaka committing to the USC Trojans for quite some time, and now that has officially happened. A week ago, he had announced official visits to Oregon, Texas A&M, and Cal, and did not have one scheduled with the Trojans.

The revenue numbers are in! The Athletic is reporting the 2024-2025 revenue numbers for the Big Ten Conference, and the amount is staggering.

What does this loss mean for USC, and how may they fill the void that she will leave? Tune in and ma...

The USC Trojans were at one time pursuing elite offensive lineman Jackson Roper.
