FIRST I WAS LIKE

THEN I WAS LIKE

NOW I'M LIKE

 

[dt43]

so both USCs football and basketball programs are currently under sanction.. THAT is embarrassing. i don't understand how anybody could root for the Trojans athletics. even if you are an alumnus you should be hanging your head in shame right now.

 

[what up]

That rat Pete Carroll jumped a sinking ship just in time.

 

[calibeebee]

Kiffin can be partly to blame for this right? I mean he served under Carrol when the Bush scandal happened.

 

[bigmike23]

And USC fans swore up and down nothing would happen... Hahahahahah

Makes a lot of sense...

Yea  you're right they should just do nothing and let them get away with it

Everybody that just committed knew that there was a good chance the program would be on probation and they went there anyway. PC bolting should have been a pretty clear sign. It sucks for the people that are juniors and seniors now, but there was a lack of institutional control and the school had to be punished for it. There's a reason the investigation took so long.

This is going to RUIN everything that Carroll built up over there. No way they can pull top recruits the next couple years without being able to go to the BCS and after that they're whole legacy is going to be forgotten. This goes wayyy beyond the next two years, guaranteed.

Lane Kiffin is screwed. There goes my Saturdays and the Rose Bowl

Wrong.  Those kids for 2011 will only have one year without a bowl game and they already have a bunch of good recruits secured.  It won't affect their recruiting any significant amount.

THIS.

Plus CLK & staff is getting exactly what they deserve.  Karma is a #%#%% (even if it comes indirectly - i.e. it's technically Sneaky Pete's BS)...

Wonder where Dillon Baxter would have ended up knowing this...

 

[saintvitus07]

Carroll, an otherwise good guy, chose to turn a blind eye to a lot of things going on around him, knowing full well what was happening. Then he jumped ship. If there were ever a white-collar criminal of the college football world, he would be it. Of course, SC is being made an example of but it would be hard to support some argument that SC doesn't deserve this now. Reggie Bush plays a notable role but there were at least a few more white-collar (and just plain white) criminals who took advantage of and encouraged him. Whoever was the athletic director at that point in time should be held accountable, too.

 

[its that dude]

nvm.

And Bill Joe Hobert single handedly destroyed Washington football. It only takes one person, in the eyes of the NCAA.

I just realized Texas is about to run this monstrosity of a conference for a while

 

[nako xl]

correct me if i'm wrong (and i probably am), but in the past didn't a "no bcs bowl game" ban not include the National Championship, i.e. if a team was on probation but still ran the table and was #1 in all the polls they can still play in the championship game?  that sounds wrong to me, but i remember an analyst saying that a few years back.

and even if they're forced to play in a non-bcs bowl, they can still be voted the AP #1.  So this won't destroy the legacy, or even completely kill recruiting as much as some would like to believe.

LA Times is reporting they'll lose more than 20 scholarships. That's going to put the program in a way more difficult position for their future than the post-season ban.

Am I the only one who is NOT an SC fan but also thinks that this sucks?
