yes there is prestige and an elite recruiting base, but it doesn't strike me as a place where you can get whatever you want to win

most SEC schools and the top programs in other P5 conferences have facilities that blow theirs out of the water

if yo are already an elite HC, USC only makes sense to me if you have roots on the West Coast
