NCAA Hammer Finally Drops On USC: Trojans Face Two Year Post Season Ban

PrintI guess the best thing about this potential merger to the Pac 10 would be that when a team cheats the results of an NCAA investigation won't come around for the next four years. At least that's how long it took for the pride of the Pac 10 to finally get its due for having a salary cap greater than the San Francisco 49ers.
The complete results of the NCAA probe, and subsequent punishment to USC, won't be released until a conference call sometime Thursday afternoon. However, ESPN's Bruce Feldman is reporting that part of the Trojans' punishment will include loss of scholarships and a two-year post season ban.
With the entire team from 2005 completely gone and Pete Carrol bolting to the NFL there's no one left in L.A. to punish for the infractions. Unfortunately the current players and coaches are guilty by association and must now bear the burden of sins committed by someone else. How much of a slime ball does Carrol look like now for bolting on his team before the consequences of his actions came bearing down on the program?

About as much like one as Kelvin Sampson?
Just a thought.
Kelvin Sampson
just was addicted to texting…that’s nothing like our current slime ball coach who may have paid people to pay people

You know,
Carrol may have gotten some pointers from Sampson on how to blow out of town before the NCAA storm came in.
If and I stress IF
This is true, then I’m about to say the following words that I’d never thought I’d say in my entire life. Bravo NCAA, bravo! I don’t think you can come to any other conclusion, based on the reported punishments, that the U$C coaches were aware of the situation with Bush and did nothing about it.
You have to think this will significantly affect their current and upcoming recruiting classes. I mean the fact that they could go undefeated (not happening, but anyway) and their season would just be over has got to make some of these recruits re-think their decision. Not to mention, I’ve heard the loss of scholarship number could be as high as 20 which will also hurt them big time.
Carroll couldn’t look any worse right now even if he tried. Finally, vindication!!!!!

Anybody want to go ahead and put up a countdown clock on his inevitable announcement that he’s leaving now to become the head coach at the junior high school of that 14 year old kid he offered a scholarship? There’s no NCAA for junior high schools right?

It would NOT surprise me at all to see Kififn named in the findings specifically. Why would he leave knowing what was coming, unless, he & others felt like he would have something following him also…. I know its a stretch, but it just wouldnt surprise me either
