![]() Lori Loughlin and her husband Mossimo Giannulli (green tie) exit the John Joseph Moakley U.S. Both daughters are still enrolled at USC, but have not attended class since the scandal broke. In March, the 54-year-old Loughlin and her husband, 55-year-old fashion mogul Mossimo Giannulli, were arrested and charged by federal prosecutors with paying $500,000 in bribes so their two daughters would be designated as recruits to the USC crew team, even though neither ever rowed crew. On Saturday, TMZ posted a photo of a similar flier that was found hanging in the women's locker room of the USC Lyon Recreation Center that read, "No Experience? No Problem." The bottom of the flier reads, "No previous rowing experience necessary." 17, 2018, consists of an advertisement announcing tryouts for the women's rowing team. A flier advertising tryouts for the USC women's rowing team posted to Twitter on Aug. The rest is just hardware.An old tweet from the official USC women's rowing team account has been making the rounds on social media over the weekend due to one particular phrase. ![]() “The I’m most proud of,” Wolf said, “is one the crew gave me the first year for being their coach. UCLA dropped men’s crew after the 1991 season. USC dropped men’s crew in 1993 but still has a women’s crew team. “It’s a sport that doesn’t get a lot of individual recognition,” Sloper said. He ran a marine hardware distributorship in Long Beach for 30 years, and has since retired and lives on Balboa Island. He rowed his sophomore and junior years, but bypassed the sport in his senior year, opting to study to graduate with a degree in business administration. Sloper, who attended Dorsey High and served in the Coast Guard during World War II, attended USC on the G.I. Rowing Hall of Fame and last year, when he was inducted into the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame, “I gave Bob every bit of credit. Wolf, who lives in West Los Angeles, is a member of the U.S. He managed teams in the 1975 and ’79 Pan American Games and managed the 1984 U.S. Wolf, who left law school and went into the insurance business, became a national and international rowing official. “Bob and I and Conn are the only ones who stayed with rowing beyond our college years,” Wolf said. Hillen’s most famous protege, Conn Findlay, who won Olympic gold medals in 19 and a bronze medal in 1960 in paired-oar shell with coxswain. “They eventually built a boathouse near the old ferry building,” Sloper said, “which was an advantage because they could row for long periods without breaking stroke.” During his tenure, practices moved from Ballona Creek, where workouts were subject to tidal time, to Marine Stadium in Long Beach and eventually San Pedro Harbor. Hillen took over the program in its second year, and coached USC for more than 40 years, retiring in the late 1980s. Hillen taught physical education at an elementary school in Santa Monica. And even then, Athletic Director Jess Hill could only offer enough to cover gas and some minor expenses. In fact, it was years before USC put Hillen on the payroll. Initially, the Trojan crew drove their own cars to competitions in the Bay Area and San Diego, taking their own oars and borrowing shells from the host teams. A year later, UCLA revived its crew program, but Hillen never went back. That year, Hillen began to provide his services on a volunteer basis to USC. In 1949, Hillen had a falling out with the UCLA administration over Hillen’s mixed allegiances, and the Bruin crew program was eliminated. Hillen took over the program after Wallis’ death. Hillen, who graduated from UCLA in 1939, was coxswain under UCLA Coach Ben Wallis. “They came off the water in the early part of that first season,” Wolf remembered, “and Don said, ‘How did we look?’ I said, ‘You look like. At tonight’s reunion in Newport Beach, there will be scrapbooks and memories. Two are dead and two have not been located. Sloper enlisted the help of one of his daughters, who, through the Internet, tracked down 16 of the 20 teammates. When Hillen and Sloper attended the San Diego Crew Classic together in April, they thought a reunion might be in order. “I first heard about the team through ads in the Daily Trojan and notices on bulletin boards,” said Don Sloper, 73, who was the stroke on that first team.
