Big Names Equals Big Bucks for USC
January 25, 2011 2 CommentsCarolina Productions, the student-run organization that organizes entertainment and educational acts for USC students, has a spring 2011 lineup complete with big names, big expenses, new student events and opportunities for student feedback.
“We have some definitely visible names that should stir up excitement across campus,” said CP President Lee McKagen.
Perhaps most visible is comedian, actor, rapper and media personality Nick Cannon, who will perform in the Russell Ballroom at 8 p.m. tonight. CP — which is funded by the student activity fee and allotted more than $400,000 a year — is paying Cannon $1,250 for the performance.
McKagen said Cannon is using USC as a warm-up for a hour-long Comedy Central special on March 5, allowing CP to attract him at a steep discount from his normal asking fee of $30,000.

Thats good that he is doing it at that rate for them! Even though USC has students who come from serious money, not unlike UCLA! He's probably gonna take that check and buy Mariah a pair of shoes. LMAO
