Might USC Take a Run at Boylen?
Should fans start crossing their fingers again?

Coach Jim Boylen just signed a fat new contract to remain with the Utes for years to come, but could become a target for USC athletic director Mike Garrett, who's trying to hold together a wreck of a basketball program in the wake of former coach Tim Floyd's resignation.

At least, that's what Fox Sports' Jeff Goodman suggests, in his column dooming the Trojans to the scrap heap for the next couple of years.

“The Trojans will be fortunate to get a guy like St. Mary's coach Randy Bennett or San Diego's Bill Grier,” he wrote. “Maybe they can snag Virginia Tech's Seth Greenberg, Utah's Jim Boylen, or even the President-in-Law, Oregon State's Craig Robinson. But even that may be a long shot.”

Yeah, that sounds about right -- especially if the program is in every bit as much disarray as everybody says. Who would want to go there?

He is not going anywhere. Boylen is a smart guy and im pretty sure he doesnt want to take over that train wreck that is usc basketball. There will definantly be some scholarships lost, and if its bad enough they might not even be able to participate in postseason tournaments. Boylen knows that, and hopefully he is not dumb enough to take the job.
