Larry Scott can't wait until next year

PrintLarry Scott is ever the opportunist.
Scott said it’s "great" for the conference that USC will be back in the postseason mix starting next season.
Scott addressed that topic and some other Trojans-related matters, including the return of quarterback Matt Barkley, before this year’s Rose Bowl game. Here’s what Scott had to say:
(on whether he’s glad to have USC bowl eligible again)
"Absolutely. USC is an iconic program, the predominant program of the last 10 years. … I suspect they’ll be one of the top-ranked teams at the beginning of the season. It’s great for our conference."
(on the domino effect of USC not being eligible the past two years)
"We’ve been one team down in terms of fulfilling our bowl obligations the last couple years. All of our bowl partners are really happy, I can assure you of that."
The joke of a Pac-12 Title game was an embarrassment.
All his bluster pointed at the NCAA about what was going on at tOSU while USC burned was for show.
Just curious, if Oregon's Rose Bowl Title (congrats to the Ducks BTW) is vacated over Willie Lyles and UO is placed on probation what will Scott do then?
I give Scott credit for some of his vision, but Scott's actions don't match his words.
And don't get me started on the deal he cut with the Big-10...that deal isn't all that you might think it is. It takes away the opportunity that teams like USC use to schedule solid OOC opponents, especially with a 9-game conference schedule.
Scott won't be around for long. You can see him coming from a mile away, he has bigger fish to fry.
This is just a stop along the way. He doesn't want to stick around the Pac-12 forever like Tom Hansen did...Hansen didn't have any ambition other that leading the Pac-10.
I can't wait for next season!

Not sure I buy that OOC argument
Seeing as USC has scheduled both Ohio State and Minnesota without a conference agreement over the past 5 years…
Although I do agree with your other points.
NOTICE ME! NOTICE ME!
Nothing wrong with not having someone stay around forever.
New blood and ideas in positions like this are good.
At USC we're not snobs, we're just better than you.
Do not want Scott around forever
He’s a cheesy salesman. I think his ultimate goal, besides opening his shirt one more button and wearing a thick gold chain with a “Larry” on it, is to be PGA Commissioner. Or Premier of France. Either one fits.
But get the hell out of the Pac 12, please. Thanks Lar-Bear. XXOO.
One thing we learned from the bowl season..
There is no PAC-12 program… NOT ONE… that plays any defense. PERIOD!!! First one that does… wins it all… and dominates! Gotta give it up to the SEC on one thing… what they do on defense… which stops all that Speed Ball stuff cold.
Listening Monte? Lane?

Yes we can't play in a Bowl and that is lucky for the rest of College FB' but next year we at USC will dominate.
