Where did you hear that? Not saying you're wrong, but that would make national news and I've seen nothing reported.

It seems to change by the hour.
I've seen Ewers going back to OSU or to UNC or entering NFL draft.
Manning going to Ole Miss.

I'm on the USC board and the Rivals board and if either of those of two declared for the portal it would be discussed ad nauseum (and the Texas fans would be melting down). There are all kind of almost troll accounts on Twitter claiming to be college football insiders that give out all kinds of false info. Not sure if saw something posted on one of those by chance. (There are accounts like that claiming to be USC insiders putting out a lot of bad info.)

If you are talking about speculation then sure, all kinds of speculation of what could happen (Ewers declaring for the draft seems to be leading prediction). But that's different than officially declaring for the portal.
Largely speculation at this point

"But it appears Manning will not elect to transfer from Texas, and will stay with the school for the 2025 season and beyond, according to a report from Rivals’ Anwar Richardson."
I work with a UT guy that's tight with Sark and the AD (he's on the field before every game and is a big booster - he's got a bunch of pictures of his kids with Quinn and Arch). When I've asked about Arch he has always said he's not going anywhere. Of course nothing is set in stone but...

Now if Quinn comes back then all bets are off and Arch could leave. I guess I took his post literally when he said they were in the portal as opposed to it being just speculation.Largely speculation at this point

No, I purposely added “speculation”
And I felt empathy for you being a hard core USC fan, like hitting yourself in the head with a two by four every day, but being on a board, which I assume has something to do with athletics, must be really frustrating

It could be worse. Just think if he was a Nebraska fan.

The board is really interesting. (I rarely post there. I just view it for updates on the team, recruiting info, transfer portal stuff etc.) Ostensibly we're all on the same team (although the reality is we do get a few posters who like other schools but are trolling as USC fans) but with the heated discussions you might think you were on JPP.
And its no different than here in that people yell, argue and fight but it doesn't have any affect in the real world. So while we can certainly be homers it's a strange dynamic when you see how much infighting there is (especially when you go 6-6).
I’ll take your word on that one, seen those fan forums, even seen high school ones that were nuts, adults lambasting players. What amazes me is that young athletes follow social media

What's crazy about the (USC) board is you have (for example) doctors and lawyers (highly educated and successful people) that will start screaming at each other like we do on here. Being a fan can make otherwise dignified people lose their mind.
I 100% agree with you about athletes and social media and why would they be on it EXCEPT everything today is about their "brand" and the number of followers they have.
20 and counting…

I know it’s technically the NCAA domain but Congress will step in here at some point. Things are going to look different in five years.
Yep, I think so too. I'll find it interesting how Bowl season looks in 5 years. The NCAA is pretty useless...like tits on a bull at this point. You're probably right about Congress stepping in and doing something.
USC has been attempted to be thrust into relevance by the media over and over again and it's not working.
And it never will until Riley is gone. Then maybe just maybe. Lost to Maryland? Really?

This was our third year with Riley and we went 6-6, so I'm not going to try and defend us. But as far as your claim vis a vis relevance and the media, I'm not following. It's not like people were saying we were going to win a national title. We beat LSU to start the season and that understandably caught people's attention. But once we started losing it all went away.USC has been attempted to be thrust into relevance by the media over and over again and it's not working.

Lot of people need to get a life
Fact about these forums, and social media in general, if they weren’t anonymous you wouldn’t see the majority of all the bullshit and personal crap you do see
They are only trying to duplicate the success and dollars that the basketball tournament does with football. It is a mistake, and is only going to centralized college football more
Congress would only screw up the whole game
