As noted here in an article on Muslims in America and what they like to read, "A number of books by leading Islamist A.A. Maududi are recommended. Mr. Maududi was a reactionary who argued for purging Islam of 'foreign influences' in preparation for a jihad that would subject the world to a caliphate. By Mr. Maududi's own admission, this caliphate would 'bear a kind of resemblance to the fascist and communist states.'"
A visit to USC's Muslim Student Association's recently-redesigned (and attractive) website reveals a commentary on the Qur'an by Syed Abu-Ala' Maududi. (This site advertises a book called Towards Understanding Islam by Maududi, A. A., and Maudoodi, Syed Abul Ala. The book's cover shows only A. A. Maududi.)
Apparently, football is not the only thing they promote at USC.
