Trojans head coach Clay Helton said Simpson is not welcome on the USC campus after his expected release from prison in early October.
"Currently, right now, what USC, the administration and the athletic department have said is, 'No, O.J. will not be a part of functions or invited, '" Helton said. He was asked about Simpson during the Pac-12 Conference's media days.
Simpson was a guest at a USC practice in Florida before the 2003 Orange Bowl. USC has also chosen to celebrate Simpson's former teammate, A.C. Cowlings, with an undergraduate residential building named in his honor. Simpson may be free and he may have been acquitted of double murder in 1995, but he isn't the kind of person the university should be embracing. It all goes back to the misguided notion that status as one of the all-time greats in football should be confined only to what happens on the football field, without regard to anything the player has done in any other setting.
Samsung Galaxy Note 8: A little different from the S8
The images related to the Galaxy S8 Active device were first seen in the Wireless Power Consortium during the month of May. The Samsung S Active series has always been known to be chunkier and bulkier and that formula is applied here as well.
Simpson first gained national celebrity as a star running back at USC (left). Simpson was found liable for the killings in a 1997 civil case, for which he still owes some $33.5 million. Simpson was just granted parole after serving time on charges of armed robbery and kidnapping.
However, his football career has not been what has kept him in the news recently.
