USC has taken a few guys that they ordinarily wouldn't because of low numbers on the roster but don't be mistaken in regards to the academics at USC.They are top notch.Ours pale in comparison tho their's.The entire Pac 10 have good academic standings.They are an academic league.Also most of their kids are west coast kids.That's a bit easier than pulling kids from the other side of the country.They will eventually after the sanctions but they have a great advantage in Cali.Most kids grow up wanting to play for them.Why do you think kiffin jumped on that job.It's easy to recruit to USC.

Don't get confused by academic requirements for athletes and for everyone else. It's not the same and is the reason why I referenced ND, because they actually employ higher academic standards for their athletes.
