Football fans around the country are preparing for the games to start back up again. During the season, however, there is a different competition that will be taking place throughout the conference.
The Big Ten, along with Abbott, is hosting the 'We Give Blood Drive.' It is an effort that brings fans together to donate blood while also being able to have their donation be tied in to their favorite school.
USC's own Matt Leinart is heavily involved with the project and spoke about the importance of the campaign.
While acknowledging that there may be some understandable reasons for someone to be hesitant to donate, the former Trojan quarterback also pointed out just how much good can come of someone being willing to help.
