O.J. Simpson at USC practice? Not any time soon, Clay Helton says

By October, O.J. Simpson could be released from a Nevada prison and free to go where he pleases. In theory, that could include USC.

Simpson, who starred at running back for the Trojans, was once welcomed to a practice by then-coach Pete Carroll nearly 10 years after being acquitted of murder — and before his conviction for robbery and kidnapping that put him in prison for nine years until his parole was granted earlier this month.

Such an invitation will not be extended again soon, Coach Clay Helton said on Thursday. He was asked about Simpson during the Pac-12 Conference’s media days.
