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.

They absolutely have the ability to become a power again if they get things lined up. Im not sure Riley is the guy to do it, but who wouldnt want to live the college life in LA over Tuscaloosa or Auburn? Especially if youre already a kid from California.

If they have so much money and are willing to spend it on football why do they still play in an off campus, city-owned, dump of a stadium?

Yep. And it's LA. It's Hollywood. Honestly it's football malpractice that they've only won one since the 70s.

I'm 18 and you tell me I can go get a Pepsi deal tomorrow worth $3m and be surrounded by aspiring models and actresses? Or I can go to ... Columbia, MO? Man, sorry but I'm in a Gucci suit on a plane in an hour.

NIL is going to change college football and I think the biggest way is power will shift to larger markets.
