Which USC? The one that is all about acadmeics and woketards and a FB program tht is a nother minor sport at USC or the USC that rose to pominance on the back of the FB Program. Explain is push to make Niias a lifetime member of the BOT, ot the push to get rid of the the Marshall School guy, or the push to bring in the Inerim President of USC and then the choice of the President of USC...how about all the sclandals, the payoffs, during Nikias and after Nikias....how about the payoffs to get undeserving kids into school under the table...how about having thoe who disagreed on the BOT with him being escorted out of the BOT meeting so they could take a vote without those present...bottom line he loves USC like Biden loves America
@DayStalker Speaking to yourself if you don't think the Football program brought national attention to USC....all the way back to Howard Jones....without looking it up who was the President of the University when Jones was winning football games? If you think otherwise you are nuts:-)
Caruso was the guy incharge of the BOT....ran off the Marshall Business school guy, was invloved with the admissions scandal , added Nikias lifetime nikias to the BOT, had removed anyone on the bot that disagreed with him and that's documented, pushed for the hirings of the three disasters on the FB Program, wanted to run the program from the BOT...Augue and I have that guy on a short list of jerkoffs that shouldn't even be selling used cars...
@OldHickoryTrojan Disagree. The Marshall B-School guy was Jim Ellis. He was not involved in anything sinister. No admissions scandal for Jim Ellis. The issue was something "unfounded" about Marshall's hiring practices several levels below him that were spun...simply just to have Ellis removed. His personal vendetta...ordering the "hit" on Jim Ellis. Big Mistake. Don't doubt his support/allegiance to USC one bit. Caruso's ego can overplay his role at times. He was a "elitist beyond-wealthy snob" when we were Frat Guys on The Row at USC....definitely acted like he"born at 3rd Base and thought he hit a triple." Cannot begrudge his amazing success in his career and family. Just the ego is problematic....which is why he is running for Mayor. I hope he wins. Just think he sinned in his putting "a hit" on Marshall Dean, Jim Ellis....who was one of the great Trojan Deans.
why is he greasy? His ads are running all over local tv, i Was getting enthused about a successful business man running the city but I don’t know much about his politics. What’s the problem with the guy?
@August West My first post in this thread called it that way..Caruso stepped aside and let the AD do his job...but don't sorry if Riley is successful and rebuilds the program be sure Caruso will make sure he gets some credit.... his leaving is a big positive for USC now get Nikias off the BOT and replace F oit with someone not so woke...
@August West He also had beloved Jim Ellis removed as Dean of the Marshall School of Business. No reason....just trumped up stuff that held no validity. Caruso had easily controllable Wanda "the interim president" fire Jim Ellis. Long story....Caruso is a complete ass.
@El Trojan Jim Caruso donated the money to build the new Our Savior Catholic Church and Caruso Catholic Center. Mark Stevens, also a USC Trustee (and another practicing Catholic) built the new LAFD Fire Station #15....immediately next door to Our Savior Church.
Gotta wonder if he stepped aside for USC to make their own hire for head Football Coach instead of making their next choice Barney Fife....Riley's hiring might play in the next mayoral election:-)
Didn't you get your letters? If you are a USC alumni.....you got two letters late last week. One from Caruso saying that, once a transition is made, that he will be resigning as COB of Trustees at USC. The 2nd letter was from President Folt....thanking Caruso. If he is elected Mayor....it is the right thing to do. While Max Nikias raised the fundraising bar to unforeseen heights....there were scandals and problems. Under Caruso's guidance in directing the BOT....we have cleaned up a lot of the crap-ola that grew under Max Nikias. If Caruso leaves...USC is in great shape.
Dude loves USC to his core. Even former players in the NFL. Being Mayor can do nothing but help USC. sc
He can't be caught associating with assclowns if he wants to run for office.
Who is deleting posts on here, btw?
