LOS ANGELES >> Fifteen years ago, O.J. Simpson dropped by a USC football practice in Miami, where the team was preparing to play Iowa in the Orange Bowl.
Simpson, a running back who became the school’s second Heisman Trophy winner in 1968, later met with players.
“He’s a legend,” then-coach Pete Carroll told reporters. “At ‘SC, our guys hold a Heisman Trophy winner in high regard.”
A similar situation, in theory, could unfold this year.
Simpson, 70, was granted parole last week in Nevada after serving nearly nine years following a conviction on armed robbery and kidnapping.
