10th Loss to the Irish Seems to Be Last Straw for USC Football Fans

At the close of Notre Dame’s decade of dominance (and the dawn of the second decade), USC finds itself in a conundrum: Does it sink back to the philosophies of McKay and Robinson (low graduation rates, NCAA violations and the resulting occasional successful season) or does it retain its new-found, but tenuous, grasp on academic and athletic legitimacy?

The choice in the face of this dilemma will show the level of integrity of the Trojans.
