USC head football coach Lincoln Riley was asked about the school's annual rivalry game with Notre Dame at Big Ten media day last week. And while Riley said that the football "purist" in him would like to see the longtime rivalry game with the Irish continue, he hinted that USC would have to look into what's best for the program in its pursuit of championships after entering a competitive Big Ten.
"I would love to," Riley said last week when asked about the continuation of the game. "I know it means a lot to a lot of people. The purist in you, no doubt. Now if you get in a position where you got to make a decision on what's best for SC to help us win a national championship versus keeping that, shoot, then you got to look at it."
