CU Booster living in LA. What we've all known for a day or two, but I find it comical that there seems to be major miscommunication on what should have been the only real discussion point when coming to an agreement for Bohn to be the AD.

From InsideUSC: "....Several athletic directors turned the job down because they were told Meyer was not an option, sources said. Bohn apparently was not informed until after he agreed to take the job...."
Which is, of course, ridiculous. Urban is THE name on the market and NOBODY is talking about that aspect
I am no to going to argue, just be glad Urban won't be in the P12 South.

USC is surprisingly ethical at times. They refused to let Tosh Lupoi be hired too.
I mean, they're not wrong. Urban does have quite a loaded past, but it is surprising that USC has limits. Those sanctions must've scared them.
Also says quite a bit about schools like Ohio St who slapped Urban on the wrist and called it a day, despite their own recent violations. But if memory serves tattoogate didn't even hurt them much other than they had to heave Tressel under the bus.

No ****, I'd actually like to see CU beat USC one of these ****ing days.
Or maybe Bohn didnt agree with targeting Meyer
It sounds bad, but I just want SC to be relevant again so the Pac 12 has a national program aside from the every so often UW, Oregon and Utah. Maybe I'm overestimating what it would do for the conference, but I just want the conference profile and prestige to be raised on par with the BIG and SEC. SC being elite again is the only way that ever happens, IMO.
I know I should have followed that up with James Franklin could easily be that guy as well. I just think Urban is the surest thing out there and he doesn't have a HC job at the moment.
When a “reformer” comes in to clean things up, the athletics suffer. We have our own history to prove that.
Short term, that’s very bad for USC and possibly very good for us. Long term, I suspect the big dollar boosters will run the new President out once it becomes obvious that athletics are not a priority. Depending on the level of damage done, it could take several years for them to fully recover. A program like that won’t stay down forever, but it looks pretty bleak now.

Here’s another thing that just occurred to me: USC’s most recent run at the top of college football came at a time when there were no professional football teams in Los Angeles. Now there are two. USC isn’t the big dog anymore, and pretty soon, there will be a nice shiny new stadium in Inglewood (Its Inglewood, right?) that will be a lot more pleasant than the Colosseum. The competition for the sports dollar in LA just got a lot more intense. They could be looking at a 90,000+ seat colosseum with 50,000 or so folks rattling around in there.
The Chargers are a complete afterthought.
No argument from me on that. But they are another football team in the area when there wasn’t one before.
And they will never come close to out drawing USC.
They don’t have to outdraw them to be a problem.
They will never rise among "minor nuisance" for USC.
The two NFL teams negatively impact UCLA a lot more than USC.
Are you arguing that having two NFL franchises in Los Angeles when there weren’t any before won’t pose a challenge for USC?
The Rams might draw, but SC is always going to be the top dog there
I see Andy Enfield still has a job . . .
Correct. If SC becomes good again, they will be the story in LA sports, not the Rams or Chargers.

Mike Norvell would scare the hell out of me there too. If I'm Bohnhead or whoever takes that job, I'm calling that guy.
USC needs a sure thing, IMO. No G5 HC is a sure thing at a blue blood.
