But they don't have the biggest corporations in the world sitting right next door ready to capitalize. Metro colleges like USC and Texas are in position to buy the best talent in CFB.
The thing is that the corporations in LA really could care less to pay a college player to endorse their products. I’m not saying players won’t get NIL deals, but even if USC is good there are probably 5,000 people in LA more popular than the USC quarterback or head coach. They are a small fish in a big pond compared to a small college town in the SEC.
Also, USC is directly competing with the Rams and Chargers in terms of football popularity in LA. When USC was a powerhouse in the early 2000s there weren’t any professional football teams in LA. They were the only show in town.

This sounds like wishful thinking because when USC is rolling they hold their own in LA. USC has 29 billionaires who are alums. They can issue all the NIL deals they want.

There are three teams in LA in the following order:
1. Lakers
2. Dodgers
3. USC football
All the other teams are nice and draw a crowd, but those are the only teams that matter. Riley will have more NIL money than any other D1 team can imagine if he proves himself this season. USC has entire part of their business school that focuses on NIL type deals.
If USC wins 10+ wins, they will have the money to sign anyone recruit they want.

Ya, the idea that a college football means jack shite to those kind of companies is absurd.
