Just Think of All the Jerseys They'll Sell!
It doesn't really have anything to do with the Utes, except in the most broad and long-term "future-of-the-sport" sort of way.

But still, reading about how USC offered a scholarship to rapper and actor (and emphatically mediocre basketball player) Li'l Romeo, seemingly because of his fame, connections and close relationship to a much, much better player who -- coincidentally enough -- also is joining the Trojans is enough to send shivers down any fan's (or parent's) spine.

"We may have more 11- to 17-year-old girls in the stands than we've had in the past," coach Tim Floyd said, unapologetically.

And isn't that really what you want out of your basketball program?
