Once again, USC goes out of its way to prove that their academic standards have been raised:
"HE MAY have failed all his GCSEs and admitted to being baffled by his then six-year-old son’s homework, but David Beckham is poised to lecture at one of America’s oldest universities on the conundrums of global diplomacy.
When the 32-year-old footballer arrives at his new home in Los Angeles next month he will be bombarded with invitations. But the most unlikely and prestigious will come from the University of Southern California (USC). The 127-year-old university is keen to offer the city’s latest celebrity a platform from which to explain to its students how “soccer” can change the world. According to sources close to Beckham, he is keen to join the debate"
Do you think that his fame has anything to do with this? Or is it his stellar performance as an intellectual and academic? What's with this pandering? USC doesn't even have an NCAA Men's soccer team!

Lou,
You're a Bruin, right ... ?

What was the tipoff?
I'm just an incredibly perceptive fellow, I guess ... !

Nonetheless, like you I'm extremely dismayed to think that the Trojans would ever stoop to condom - err, that is, *condone* - such a thing!
