LOS ANGELES — After one afternoon on the campuses Los Angeles has proposed as part of its bid to host the 2024 Olympics, even the International Olympic Committee’s evaluation commission members were ready to go back to school.

On the second day of the commission’s visit on Thursday, the group toured all but one of the proposed venues in LA 2024’s plan. Not surprising to bid organizers was the impression left by UCLA, which would serve as the athlete village and training center, and USC, which would host the media village and main press center.
