This gives USC a legit shot at winning the Pac 12 next year IMO. Playoff not far behind?

Reasonably or not, it bothers me that Williams did not enroll at USC until the very last day he could, which is my understanding. I can appreciate that this is a momentous life decision for the young man but it doesn’t seem that academics are much of a priority to him, at least right now. God, what an old fogey I’ve become.

Welcome to the club.

Now get off my lawn.

If he's doing things different than the Justin Fields approach, aka online classes, stowed away in his apartment, and training with the team and his own personal trainers as necessary, I'd be shocked. No clue what he is majoring in, but I'm sure it's as basic and general as is legally allowed to remain a student.

He's not there to play school.

What's extra irritating about all this is Olivia Jade doesn't have to go to any school ever and could probably not work a day in her life and still live a very lavish lifestyle. The need by celebs/rich to get their kids into the best schools is all about maintaining status and to brag. That is it.

And if she wanted, she could have had the best tutors and instruction money could buy and legit got into usc without cheating grades and test scores.

But you shouldn’t be afforded riches and be simultaneously stupid.
