USC suspends reporter for violating policies after he wrote about something that happened in plain sight

Orange County Register and SCNG reporter Luca Evans was suspended from covering the USC football team for two weeks .

Coach Lincoln Riley apparently took issue with a story Evans published last week about freshman running back Quinten Joyner .

USC claims that Evans violated its policy that prohibits reporting on anything outside of media availability in the practice facility.

The university stood by the football team and said it supports the football program’s decision.
