USC Likes Some NCAA Sanctions

USC announced today that its summer football camps are closed to the general public. They could have been open if USC wanted them to be, like during the Pete Carroll era, but chose not to. Basketball camps, which does not have nearly the same interest, will be open to the public.

  1. What??? How does deciding to close summer football camps to the public equate to liking NCAA sanctions?

      • That comment makes me want to skip my work dinner tonight and meet Scott there. I haven’t thought about La Barca in a long time. My Aunt was the principal of the school across the street for years. I remember going there as a kid when we would visit her. She had retired by the time I attended USC, but it still brings back good memories.

        • My friends and I went there a lot when we lived a few blocks away on Ellendale, circa 1996-1998. I haven’t been there in years, but I think it’s still there. I remember that we would sometimes park around the corner off of Vermont, and we would walk past a yard in which a dog and an actual turkey lived together in peace. That neighborhood held many interesting sights.

  2. Is that summer football camps, or football cramps?…. With Wolfies writing skills, or lack thereof, one never really knows for sure…..

  3. As I recall the host of this blog criticized excessively Layne Kiffin’s policy as to ‘openess’ – the tailing back to Carroll is meaningless:

    1. When Pete took over in 2001 the program was and had been moribund since 1978 – 23 years.
    2. Pete loved going public because a. it is his style and b. what harm could it do to ‘open things up’?
    3. By Autumn 2003 all the legitimate hype was back leading into the AP NC award year.

    I’d hope until Sark gets his head on straight as to what his next move is next leading into 2014 – so what?

    Andy Enfield is in a completely different dimension – there is little expectation and the program is primed to move up.
