Notre Dame gets USC’s ‘save the rivalry’ olive branch, but it might be a poison pill

Is the Notre Dame football rivalry game with USC saved? That's undoubtedly what the Trojans would like everyone to think. The problem is that their administration is trying to take the pressure off and put it back on the Fighting Irish, without actually trying to save the series.

A new report in the Los Angeles Times claims that USC is looking to make a deal with Notre Dame to continue the series beyond this season. While what the school offered isn't detailed, USC athletic director Jennifer Cohen claims that she's attempting to find something that will make both schools happy.
