USC should receive the DEATH PENALTY like SMU— NOW!!
I suspect the AD didn’t care as long as they were winning and bringing in the money. One reason they were hit as a repeat violator
The assistant coach mentioned in the article as knowing used to be enough for the death penalty for a REPEAT OFFENDER such as USC.
Make that assistant AD.
Just win baby—that’s all they cared about.
Some call it NCAA football. I like to think of it as “cheating.”
Like I’ve said before, it’s not fair to the incoming kids to have their hopes and dreams of making it into the bigs destroyed because of someone else’s greed, arrogance and ego. Goes double for the coaches
Those poor boys have enough time to make other shady deals with different ADs at different schools. The headhunters are already burning up the phone lines to every athlete on USC's roster.
The USC coaches will be lucky to have enough bodies to make up a team.
If they've signed up and get denied an education, maybe I'll shed a tear for them. I can't figure out why the poor taxpayer in CA has to subsidize their opportunity to get to the NFL. I cry for the taxpayer.
From what I’ve read their team will be freshman and sophomores if the upperclassmen bolt
I thought ‘SC was a private research university?
I guess that we got lucky with the Derrick Rose deal. Just lost our records.
It was also not a repeat offense inside the window the NCAA sets.
from their own website:
USC has nearly $560 million in annual research expenditures, and has ranked among the top 10 private universities in federal supported research activity.
A private school that uses taxpayers money.
Hadn’t heard from Hacksaw in a while...used to listen to him here in Los Angeles on the old XTRA Mighty 690, and then KLAC 570 before Fox Sports Radio took over. Also was the longtime radio voice of the San Diego Chargers (”TOUCHDOWWWWWWWWWWWWWN SANNNNN DIEGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!)
“The best 15 minutes in radio”...of course, back in the day, the best 30 minutes in radio belonged to Mr. Jim Healy...
So sue Reggie Bush, oh and McKnight with the SUV, and Garrett saying that Kiffen’s violations at Tennessee were just minor violations and “we don’t care about minor violations”, and Tim Floyd handing out cash for Mayo, and, and, and...
Like they say - it’s all Trojan envy. We apparently all want to be them (or not).
Jim Rome used to call him "The Butterknife" (probably still does)
"IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII want to hearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from a FReeper!!!!!! Damn it Oceanside! Poway Pinisquitas! Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside...the FReeper line is open for you. Use it or lose it!"
The only one privy would be Asst coach McNair. I’ve read the transcripts, and there is no admissible, credible evidence to support the ncaa’s findings that McNair knew. Even under the ncaa theory, he didn’t know until after the USC/TX game - Bush’s last.
Some of the allegations are silly - the homesick tennis player calling her family in Europe on USC’s dime - obviously not authorized. If rather than stealing phone calls she embezzled from the student store - same result? Robbed a bank?
Then there is the running back who was “caught” driving his girlfriend’s car - a “violation” b/c her car was co-signed by her employer, who is not an agent and has no connection with USC.
The punishment doesn’t fit the crime under any definition of “fit”.
