The decision by the coaches and administration at USC to suspend a reporter over supposed policy violations has been widely panned by most in the sports media world.
Head coach Lincoln Riley announced the suspension earlier this week, saying it would last for two weeks.

But after widespread criticism and pressure from other USC-based reporters, Riley and the athletic department quickly backed down.

Don’t block the best pass-rusher in the NFL … bold move, Giants.
The New York Giants are so bereft of talent on the offensive line that they’re throwing up the white flag against San Francisco’s Nick Bosa early Thursday night.
Bosa, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, enjoyed the easiest sack of his career, so far, in the first quarter of TNF’s primetime game against the Giants.
Daniel Jones and the Giants offense had their backs against their end zone.
The San Francisco 49ers elected to play it safe with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk on Thursday Night Football against the New York Giants. Aiyuk suffered a shoulder injury during the team’s Week 2 victory over the Los Angeles Rams. With the wideout missing the game, rookie Ronnie Bell figured to see some opportunities on offense.
Though Aiyuk practiced on a limited basis on both Tuesday and Wednesday, San Francisco decided not to push their top receiver out there on a short week.
TMZ caught up with ESPN First Take’s newest addition, former NFL player Shannon Sharpe, on the street recently, but then the paparazzi was quickly distracted by an arguably more famous celebrity: Selena Gomez.
A video of the quick interaction went viral on social media Thursday. The video shows the paparazzi beginning to speak with Sharpe, and then they suddenly walk past Sharpe to get footage of Gomez getting in her car. Sharpe can be seen standing on the sidelines of the incident by a wall, which made for quite the amusing scene.
49ers quarterback Brock Purdy didn’t have the sharpest opening drive on Thursday night against the Giants. Fortunately, tight end George Kittle was able to save his quarterback some grief by batting down an errant pass that could otherwise have been intercepted.
Purdy’s throw sailed wide of the mark, and looked to be headed for New York cornerback Adoree’ Jackson. Kittle noticed the pass wasn’t catchable, but reacted sharply in order to bat the ball down and prevent Jackson from recording an early pick.
Julie Ertz walked off the soccer field as a member of the United States Women’s National Team for the final time in her career on Thursday night in Cincinnati.
Ertz announced that she would be retiring from all professional levels of soccer following Thursday night’s competition against South Africa. Earlier in the evening, she was met with thunderous applause when the team honoring her ahead of the match.
Ertz was then subbed out during the 35th minute of the exhibition. The 31-year-old hugged various USWNT teammates while the crowd gave her a standing ovation.
USC Trojans head coach Lincoln Riley announced on Thursday that the university elected to lift its ban on OC Register reporter Luca Evans — who, according to Riley, previously violated USC media guidelines.
Luca Evans and Lincoln Riley posted statements on Thursday, combining their intent to move on from the situation now that the beat reporter’s media credentials are restored.
According to their statements, Riley and Evans shared a frank discussion over the phone Wednesday night.
Riley determined that Evans’ comments didn’t warrant the two-week suspension after their talk.
It’s been almost three years since we’ve seen Watson play a truly great game. The Browns still believe he can turn things around, but others are baffled by his regression.
