I was sent this link from a friend who tells me the source is very credible. UCLA sources are confirming, as are USC sources.

 

Bruinbalssy, a poster on BruinZone.com, is claiming that sanctions are on the way for USC, and details are starting to come in. Three years of probation, no bowl games for two seasons, no televised games for two seasons, and the loss of 25 scholarships over three years. Furthermore, USC would be forced to forfeit some, if not all of the 2004 season. The claim is that there is a "systemic lack of institutional control" at USC, and that big boosters have already been warned.

 

The main investigations surrounded Reggie Bush and OJ Mayo, but it also included Winston Justice, Demar Derozan, Joe McKnight, John David Booty, and possibly others.

 

It's not the death penalty, but it could be debilitating for the USC program. The penalties are similar to the punishment Alabama received in 2000 for the recruitment of Albert Means. The Crimson Tide faced five years of probation, a two-year bowl ban, and the loss of 21 scholarships over three years. Mike Shula walked into that situation at 'Bama and could only manage a 26-23 record. It took a coach the quality of Nick Saban to turn things around.

 

While it's early, and this news is still in the early stages of breaking, the ramifications of this could be huge for the USC program. I doubt Pete Carroll would want to stick around with his team stuck in it, and he's the engine that runs the bus. People have always talked about how the balance of power swings back and forth in ND-USC series. I didn't think that this is how it would happen this time around.

 

Okay, now I'll resume running a Notre Dame blog.

 

Edit: I haven't been able to find out what would happen to this year's ND-USC game if the Trojans do, in fact, have their games removed from television.

lol...I'm sure that's what they say about Robinson

more like larry smith. now there was a moron. robinson was a thug............

forget USC, its been five years, they just might not get anything

FSU lost 6 scholarships.being investigated for is a very similar type situation Alabama was in and yet they penalized Alabama 25 scholarships. And it didn't take them 5 years to get around to it, either. .:p

You mean it's been two years and a half years? That story came out in fall of '06.

Well, being optimistic here, but maybe there is even more to uncover than we thought there was possible. Maybe that's why it's taking so long. We all know one thing for sure, top players are not going to a place where they won't be on TV or be able to participate in a bowl game if this is true. Forget about the schollies, not being able to be seen or not being able to play on the big stage (bowl game) would be the death penalty for them!

Why do we think USC pulling in every good recruit from the west coast is an attractive thing to the NCAA?

 

Those boobs are four deep. Many of those players distributed to the other pac10 teams would make the rest of the league better. I think having Washington, Washington St, Colorado, UCLA, ASU, Arizona, Oregon, and Oregon St as better teams would be better for the NCAA. Having no competitive games in the pac10 is not conducive to making money. There is virtually no big games in the pac10 the last 5 or 6 years ... maybe longer. Having a Georgia-Florida or Florida-Bama or LSU-Florida type showdown in the Pac10 would generate more money than having USC blow out everyone with an occasional upset.

 

Just my opinion ...
