LA Times Expose: 25% of USC Football Players Have Jock Itch

Jock itch is actually the subject of their article. ESPN is so pissed that somebody else gets to write about USC's genitals. Expect a full-hour feature on Mitch Mustain's ballsweat on College Football Live tomorrow. Until then, we all feel tailback Travon Patterson's pain: "It burns," he told the LA Times. Going deep undercover, the paper reports:

While dislocated kneecaps and high ankle sprains draw more attention, Coach Pete Carroll said he has never seen anything like the minor outbreak that caused key players to miss practice Wednesday. As much as 25% of the team has been affected by the apparent run of tinea cruris, kicker David Buehler estimated. The condition seems to have spread by way of new compression shorts, or tights, worn under their football pants.
