Nevada senator Harry Reid took some unprovoked shots at the USC football program during his Monday appearance at the Center for American Progress.
Reid was fielding a question from a member of the audience who identified himself as a student of the University of Southern California. Before the man finished his question, Reid interrupted him by saying "I hope you have a better football team than last year. That was a disaster."
Reid was accurate with that assessment, as USC finished with an extremely disappointing 7-6 record after starting the season as the top-ranked team in the nation. Reid returned to the subject later on by saying "That proves you can’t buy college football players."
