USC football is reportedly seeking a new General Manager. The program has faced notable challenges in the NIL era, particularly in maintaining a competitive edge against programs like Ohio State and Oregon. Despite efforts to establish compliant and transparent NIL operations, the Trojans have struggled to keep pace with rivals offering larger budgets and aggressive recruiting incentives.
Recent changes under Athletic Director Jennifer Cohen and initiatives like the House of Victory collective have shifted this trajectory. These adjustments have significantly expanded USC's NIL budget and increased its focus on recruiting high school athletes with NIL opportunities.

"First order of business.. is Lincoln Riley really the best fit for this football team!" Another fan said.
