Pat Haden is no chump so I wonder what he's thinking.

I don't understand any facet of this story.

He's waiting it out, Matt Barkley likes Kiffin a lot.

From the article

Quite simply, and as you might think, a slightly deflated football is easier to grip. As a result, a football that's easier to grip is easier to throw, catch and hold. A football that's easier to throw, catch and hold is often a football that ends up getting spiked in the end zone.

Another thing to consider is the fact that college teams use their own football, meaning that in Saturday night's game, Oregon had its own set of footballs on offense and USC its own set. So, theoretically, a team could deflate its own footballs very slightly and not worry about the opposing offense catching on when it had possession.

Kiffin is the biggest scumbag in all of NCAA. Plus, the guy can't coach for shit. How in the hell did they offer this joker a job? He should be cleaning pools at the YMCA.

Matt Barkley's stock is dropping every week because of his uninformed decision to stay at USC for his senior year. I still think he's the best QB in the nation, but guys like Kiffin and Les Myles are the absolute worst coaches in the nation at very good schools.

I'm not a Kiffen fan at all but how does this reflect badly on him ?

"In the report, USC said no coaches, players, staffers or administrators had any knowledge of the manager's actions"

Ya sure he was acting alone in fun?

I already had no respect for Haden when he did not fire Kiffin the day he got there. As you point out, this is nothing new for Kiffin. Haden is either naive beyond belief or willfully negligent.

It is against the rules... In the link below, page FR-20

Each team chooses the balls they use when they are on offense.
