USC In Final Four
If the 64-team NCAA Tournament bracket was based on how much colleges spent on Washington lobbyists, USC would make the national title game according to this bracket compiled by the Center For Responsive Politics.
USC spent $880,000 in 2008, good enough to reach the title game, where the Trojans lost to SUNY Binghamton ($1,820,000).
Why is USC hiring lobbyists?
It was either a colossal waste of money, or a huge mistake AND a colossal waste of money...given what what we've got in Washington now.
Fascinating.....
Why? Because it is the name of the game, and everyone does it.
