Not related to Kiffin, but more his staff and USC.
Quotes from a player in the early 2000's about getting reemed out by SC assistants for going to class.

Poor guy wanted to major in Cinema (one of SC's most prominent programs) but was blocked by the Athletic department due to the course load.
That flat out sucks.

Reminds me of a story about a recent big Michigan recruit, I might have read it here on BP actually. Don't have the name offhand, but he wanted to pursue a tougher major, and Michigan started selling him on a sports management focus to make it easier to retain eligibility.

[EDIT] Oh yeah, it was Da'Shawn Hand and a switch from Civil Engineering to Sports Management lol. It's BR, but similar to this story about USC:

Hand is very focused on academics and initially thought he wanted to go into civil engineering. After meeting with Michigan's Dean of Sports Management, Hand now believes he might be leaning towards a new major.

"That dude knows his stuff. He got me thinking. I thought I wanted to do civil engineering, but I'm thinking that sports management fits my personality," he said. "He gave me so much information that I was blown away, he had me drooling. I wanted to join the class right then and there."

I've actually talked with Bob (and we've got him on a podcast on Friday); the quotes were overblown by Time as they tried to create an "angle".

His documentary project is pretty impressive.: Business Of Amateurs

After OSU moved up to the three spot on Scout's team recruiting chart today I was looking for some of the other regulars - and one was missing.

As of now the highest rated class in the PAC is Stanford at #34. USC (not mighty South Carolina - the other USC) checks in at #39 with six recruits - four of them three stars.

Them is some slow pigeons, but they may finally be comin' home to roost.

No matter the location, no matter the tradition, or supposed stature of the program, kids aren't gonna sign up when they don't know who their coach is gonna be. See tOSU in 2011. Lane's a dead man walking and everybody knows it.

I sure hope not. Don't you hate it when any big time football school (not named Ohio State) gets a crappy coach and then fires him. examples; scUM fired DickRod, ND fired "fat Charlie", Florida fired Zooker, Alabama fired Mike Shula....the list goes on and on.
