The admittance policy for the first day of Spring Practice has raised some eyebrows among fans, and understandably so.
To clear the air a little, an official practice admittance policy has been in the works for months, with many groups contributing input to the situation to craft a course of action that is ultimately being done with the players' best interest in mind. A final policy will be released soon, but as it continues to be vetted, officials believed it best for both the program and the players to limit admittance for the opening workout this afternoon to family members, media and recruits.
USC has always been one of the nation's most accessible programs, whether by allowing fans to attend practices or through the almost unheard-of media openness. And remember, while practices appeared in the past to be fully open, there was always a procedure and filter for people to come in through Goux Gate at the entrance to Howard Jones Field. That procedure is just being tweaked now, that's all.
