A reporter from the Southern California News Group was suspended from covering the USC football team for two weeks for allegedly violating the school's media guidelines, the news organization announced on Tuesday.
USC Trojans defeated the Stanford Cardinal 56-10 during a NCAA football game at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Yet USC claims that Evans violated its policy that prohibits reporting on anything outside of media availability in the practice facility — even though the conversation that Evans details was literally right next to the “USC practice field media backdrop.” It also didn’t reveal any inside or private information, but simply added color to the story and showed the players’ personalities.
"This is a huge overreaction to what the USC program perceived to be a policy violation," Orange County Register senior editor Todd Harmonson said."We clearly disagree and stand fully behind Luca." "As an institution, USC prides itself on treating the media as a respected partner and key constituent," the university replied."We understand the responsibility of reporters is to fairly and objectively cover stories, news events, and their respective beats. As you know, our media policies exist to protect our student-athletes and promote a culture of trust that is critical to building successful programs.
