When the weather is perfect virtually every day you don't really prioritize it. That's my guess.

Kind of amazing such a "blue blood" doesn't have a full-sized indoor football facility


USC is lightyears behind in facilities. They have been trash for years.

You would think they could have a backup plan and go someplace else in the event that historically immense rainfall happened.


Immense rain fall is the last thing Southern California is going to prepare for.

There's two big problems 1. There's no space to put in indoor facility. The campus is small (300 square acres), urban, and already basically full. They could have bubble over the practice field for spring football when rain is more likely, but this year is an anomaly. 2. Building costs. USC's current facility cost $70M in 2012 and was outdated the minute it opened. Just renovating the Coliseum cost over $300M.

Even more reasons not to go to USC or move to California. Top players want top facilities as well. Now we see why top players from California prefer the South East over California schools.

Water in LA is a good thing.

That sucks. 300 square miles is tiny. For comparison, A&M is 5500.

A&M is building a new indoor facility, renovating current facilities, adding a new academic and wellness center for athletes, & a new indoor track center for around 200 M.


App State isn't impressed ...

'm amazed how a recruit can visit there, then go check out SEC schools and think "ah...I think I'll stick with USC."


You’re kidding, right?
