USC coach Lane Kiffin and wide receiver Marqise Lee initially offered different takes on whether a players-only meeting was held Sunday.

The Trojans lost 10-7 to Washington State on Saturday, and Lee said after the game that the players would have a meeting the next day.

Kiffin, who many believe is in jeopardy of losing his job if the team continues to struggle, said on Sunday and again on Tuesday that the meeting never took place.

But Lee said on Tuesday that Kiffin was wrong and that a meeting did occur, according to tweets by reporters who cover the team.

Lee tweeted on Wednesday morning that the meeting was just a typical gathering.

Lee's tweet should end what looked like a public disagreement between two important members to the USC program. If the issue was really just a matter of semantics, then the meeting is a non-story.
