[USC] had to deal with the notorious “Varsity Blues” scandal this spring which heavily-involved [Lynn] Swann’s athletics department. Throw in basketball assistant Tony Bland getting caught up in the college basketball corruption trial and Swann’s seat was getting awfully hot.

Carol Folt’s letter to candidates to replace USC Athletic Director Lynn Swan: Sing it.
This overload …
I can hear your cleats clicking on the sidewalk
Beating to the rhythm of my heart
Caught up to you
You’re the only one I want
I follow you home every night
Just to make sure that you get there alright
Baby it’s true
Can’t think of anything but you
And what I need baby
Is a little bit of sympathy
I’m down here on my knees
It’s a twenty-scandal night
And I can’t live without your help
Won’t you help me cure this overload
Won’t you help me cure this overload
Won’t…yeh!
Oh, Varsity Blues
And basketball is nothing but skooz
Doesn’t that say something
Scum has taken hold of me, yeah
Baby I need you
You’ve got to see me through
Can’t take another scandal-night without you
Honey it’s true I am so hung up on you, yeah
