Where's your loyalty? This family's livelihood has been on your campus for 40 years? This is one of the saddest things I've seen! Shame on you!

Working in a staffing agency I can tell you now if you take this away from him, you will destroy him. He has no experience in anything else, no degree, no computer skills. This is his lively hood those teens in a new bike shop have their whole life to gain experience and will not stay in that shop to contribute a life long desire for a bike shop. You will ruin a man and help no one if you take this from him.

Little Bills bike shop has fixed each of the countless bikes that I've had to buy since being at USC. USC provost office grow a pair and stand up for small businesses, especially for one who has served USC for 40 years.

Watch the video; read the article. These are real people who USC is displacing, and for what? A good reputation? Money? Alumni sponsors? Nikias dollars to buy more pointy things?

Keep it local! Fight gentrification and shame on USC for turning its back on our local community. What happened to the Trojan Family?!

I understand the agreement USC has with the other bike shop, but this isn't fair. Honestly, I'd rather not have a bike shop in the village and have Lil' Bill's small business set up there.

Our campus is ridiculously huge and has a huge community of cyclists. You're saying there's no room for 2 bike shops. USC, you need to turn this into an opportunity and offer multiple bike shop locations not get rid of them, specially if Bill has been here this long. He's trusted by the community, leave him be!

Let him stay he has been there for a long time and he is no threat to any other business. I know there is a new company moving in to the new building and may be someone is going to get a cut of the profits for awarding them the contract and that is more likely the reason someone at USC wants him out.

It is very special for someone to take so much provide in the service they provide the community. His love for the school is so obvious and adds so much character and heart to the campus. Please work something out so he can continue his small business and the students who appreciate him and his service so much can continue to enjoy his services and his big-hearted presence.

Please let Mr. Bill F., keep his bike shop SOMEWHERE on the USC campus ... we need more adults like him accessible and supportive for our learning-to-be-adult children!
