Former USC athletic director Pat Haden was taken from the school's campus by ambulance and hospitalized Tuesday morning.

A USC spokesman told Omnisport that Haden was "alert and talkative" while undergoing evaluation at a Los Angles hospital following "an episode of lightheadedness, similar to previous episodes." He experienced lightheadedness in February and in October 2015.
