It’s gotten to the point where USC TBS reporters are openly bashing the players. What’s the opposite of an offseason natty?

So.... Got some juicy details on USC keeping Helton while sleuthing other boreds. Apparently an administrator on a secret conference call wanted the real story leaked.
Check the WAM for full access, but here are the bullet points:
- 2 hour early am call Wednesday with Folt, COTB of Trustees, and major donors who bankroll USC athletics on why Folt told Bohn he could not fire Clay Helton and would announce his safety later that day.
- Donors had been working on high-profile coaches for the USC job, coming to a momentary agreement with Urban Meyer to USC – a contract paying Urban $9.4 million a year.
- Folt publicly stated she would not be involved in the process. But multiple sources had conveyed that Folt was not in favor of hiring Urban Meyer and he was abandoned.
- Donors then also qualified former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops’ interest and he appeared a possibility as well. Both backed off because Stoops wanted to clean house.
- USC didn't want that because Tuesday a report came out that the Varsity Blues scandal was not complete and more names will come out. That was when the decision was made that with this impending development, it was not the time for USC to go out and hire a high-profile football coach.
- Bohn had been promised the power to make the call on the coach, and is now getting blamed for keeping Helton. He also has an AD with people still involved in Varsity Blues that he can't fire.

Graham Harrell was offered a 3 year deal at $6.5 mil to be the Texas OC.
He has continued recruiting for USC, and insiders feel confident he is going to stay put.

I'm interested to see what the hell happens to USC's class. Right now they have 9 commits, all 3 stars by 247. Of which, 5 are offensive lineman, and 1 is a kicker.
Its not like there are just a lot of guys sitting out there for them to get, they are going to have to scramble to throw this class together.
