USC students just got the lecture of a lifetime after Las Vegas Raiders head coach Pete Carroll brought two friends to a class

The Las Vegas Raiders have a connection with a university that ins't even in their town, and it's a special one, too. The USC Trojans, will now always be connected with the Raiders, as they were before.

Prior to this year, the Raiders and USC hoad a connection because of their Los Angeles ties, and what both programs and teams have done for that community. A very large portion of Los Angeles are still Raiders fans. In fact, some have said there are more Raiders fans in LA than there are Los Angeles Raiders and Los Angeles Rams fans. And, I believe it.

Both the Raiders and the USC football program have always stood for and embodied the same things. And when you think about the two football programs, they are both historical, and some of the best ever, but haven't had the same type of success as of late. And, both are optimistic that will change soon.

And then there are the fact that a ton of former Raiders players played for USC, along with some current players in Isaiah Pola-Mao and Kana'i Mauga.

Fast forward to 2025, and the Raiders hired a former USC Trojans head coach who won them a National Championship in Pete Carroll. Not to mentioned, Carroll can also take partial responsibility for some of the Trojans' greatest players ever like Reggie Bush.
