As for USC having more $ and resources than UCLA... any difference between the two is negligible. Citing my knowledge of UCLA computer science research (I have little knowledge of USC computer science research): UCLA was one of the original nodes of ARPAnet, UCLA is the headquarters of the Center for Embedded Network Sensing (which also includes Cal, USC, UC Riverside, CalTech, etc), and (as legend goes) the first message on an "internet" was sent from UCLA to Stanford by Professor Emeritus Leonard Klinerock.
Also, UCLA has probably the best Electrical Engineering Department (widely known in the field). It (and the school of engineering) recieved a generous donation from Henry Samueli (a UCLA alumn), founder of Broadcom, maker of wireless technologies (802.11, bluetooth, etc). While their name is not well know outside of the field, their products are used in products by Motorola, DirectTV, Verizon, etc.
Both USC and UCLA have donors that donate millons of dollars. I'm pretty sure the difference in amount between the two are almost nil. The only school in the Southern California area that possibly gets more donations is CalTech.
And for the record, I am a USC Computer Science graduate student. I got my undergrad degree from UCLA. I worked with a professor at UCLA who got her PhD from USC and I'm taking a class from a professor at USC who got his PhD from UCLA... all that really matters is the quality of the education and (for graduate students and faculty) the areas of research - where the real money is for a university. For graduate students, interschool rivalries are meaningless (but loyalties usually stay with the school where the undergraduate degree was earned).
