I don't think any school, including USC, could "get away" with NCAA violations that were investigated and determined to be violations. But what are you implying from your comment? Are you suggesting that USC benefited from Bush's talent because an agent gave his parents a cushy place to live? So he wouldn't have played for USC and played well otherwise? If Bush knowingly violated the rules, he should pay for it. If USC was involved -- and no one has alleged they were -- they should be punished. But it is silly to pretend that Bush and, subsequently, USC wouldn't have played as well had his mom not gotten a sweetheart deal. Or are you alleging the deal was made in order to recruit Bush to the school in the first place?
