LA is the 2nd largest major metro, should have an NFL team, the lack of which since Raider and Ram departures, along with UCLA's slide post-Donahue, U-Dub instability, and ASU/Az inconsistency..

Has created an Entire Bandwagoning Left Coast for USC, which admittedly is one of college football's all-time kings, but was napping a bit.

Sure, USC would've arisen back to it's place in college football's hierarchy, but without an NFL team in LA, it's naive to think that all that undivided media attention hasn't been huge in their storyline this past decade.

Because it's the second largest metro area and they don't sell out every game, that means blackouts for the 2nd largest market. That's not a good sign when you want to sell advertising spots.

Also, with a team in LA, teams can't hold cities hostage for new stadia, etc.

These are the primary reasons that I think that the owners and commish really don't want a team there.
