OJ Simpson
will no longer be welcome on the University of Southern California
campus where he rose to national fame on the gridiron when he’s released
from prison in October.
USC football coach Clay Helton said Simpson, who was granted parole last week in Nevada
after serving nearly nine years in a Nevada prison for a botched
robbery attempt, would not be permitted to attend a Trojans practice.
“Right now with USC, what the administration and the athletic
department have said is, no, OJ will not be a part of our functions,”
Helton told ESPN on Thursday. “That’s been the statement.”
Simpson, who starred for the Trojans when he captured the Heisman
trophy as college football’s best player in 1968, has served the minimum
nine years of his 33-year sentence for the robbery and could be
released as early as 1 October.
Although Simpson’s alma mater has distanced itself from the one-time
football star turned Hollywood actor ever since he stood trial in the
1994 killings of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and her friend
Ronald Goldman, the school continues to display his retired No32 jersey
at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum during USC home games and a replica of his Heisman trophy on campus.
Simpson has reportedly attended only one USC practice since he was
acquitted in the double homicide: a 2002 workout in Florida while USC
prepared to face Iowa in the 2003 Orange Bowl.
“It was good to have him out here,” then-USC coach Pete Carroll told
the Los Angeles Times. “At ‘SC, our guys hold a Heisman Trophy winner in
the highest regard. For them to get a chance to see him and visit with
him was very special for them.”
Last week, officials from the Pro Football Hall of Fame said Simpson
will remain an annual invitee to the induction ceremonies. The former
running back has not attended since he was enshrined in 1985.
