"USC had long been known for its lenient admission policy at football practices, which during Carroll's tenure were open to almost anybody from movie stars to regular fans.
Although Kiffin tightened the rules shortly after taking over, the NCAA also prohibited all non-university personnel, except media and a few others, from attending practices and camps - or even standing on the sidelines during games, a favorite pastime of Will Ferrell and other wealthy USC alumni."
