The Ivy League schools are “defending” their admission practices (before the US Supreme Court) which excluded bright, young Asian applicants based on racial profiling and diversity. Will be interesting to see how THAT works for them. Some notable Universities are dropping the SAT/ACT. It’s in our DNA.ĪMERICA is just not going in that (Meritocracy) direction presently. This merit-based ethos is a HUGE part of the Trojan Family. Irrespective of our background, we built a better school. The competition we Trojans faced along the way is a huge part of our personal and professional success, and the ongoing success which USC continues to enjoy. USC is absolutely a school based on Merit first. Our offensive line has been hard to watch in recent years, but part of the problem is our running backs lacked the speed of Brown and Christon to pop some big ones on the sweeps or on screen passes in the flat.I am an ardent supporter of the Meritocracy Society. Raleek Brown reminds me of former USC running back Ricki Ervins who was a great back. Too much talent to sit especially on a losing team like USC has had in the last 3 years. With 10.3 speed John Mckay would have found a place to use him either on defense or offense. Kenan Christon should have been playing alot more. It is quite obvious that the talent evaluation was very poor during the Helton era at USC. Kenan, would be a terrific kickoff and punt return specialist as well as a very explosive part of the offense at running back, and in the slot. We need as much speed as possible on this team which has been lacking here for quite some time. Kenan, first of all should be welcomed back by Coach Riley. Raleek Brown will be a great back once he develops probably in a year, but will play some as a freshman. I have missed out on the football season due to being suspended until the end of next year. I do feel that my punishment is excessive. “I’ve worked so hard to be where I am today, and for this to happen it’s just, it’s a lot to me. I would like my life to be back to normal,” Christon said. “I will not disappoint my family or my teammates or the University,” Christon said. In a letter to the school, Christon wrote that he was “truly grateful as I have learned a life lesson and appreciate the second chance.” With his suspension now reduced and a new coach in place, a person close to Christon said he’s still hoping to stay at USC. When Christon spoke to The Times last month, before Riley’s hiring, he said he had no intention of transferring from USC, but said at the time it felt “like I’m obligated to leave, like they don’t want me here.” It’s still unclear if whether Christon, who’s also a sprinter on USC men’s track team, will be welcomed back to the football program by newly hired coach Lincoln Riley. But the duration of his suspension was reduced to the end of the upcoming spring semester, meaning he’ll be eligible to return to campus - and football - after May 12, 2022. Upon appeal, Christon was still found responsible for all seven student conduct violations, according to a USC decision letter obtained by The Times. But a six-week investigation by USC’s Office of Student Judicial Affairs and Community Standards found seven violations of the school’s student code of conduct, and Christon was suspended from campus and university activities through Dec. No arrests were made and no charges were filed. The university suspension that caused USC running back Kenan Christon to miss one football season and threatened to hold him out for another has been reduced on appeal, The Times has learned, potentially allowing Christon to rejoin USC’s football and men’s track teams as soon as this summer.Ĭhriston was suspended in early September, after a physical altercation with another male USC student in which Christon put the student in a headlock for 17 seconds. USC running back Kenan Christon’s suspension reduced on appeal If LR takes advantage of this, he’ll help his relationships in California HS fb, and he’ll basically be signing a 5*.
