There is nothing about this I find funny. At all.

However, I'm a little amused at some of those guys over on wearesc.com. I told them, months ago, that Johannigmeir being on the case meant is was going to be serious. They said, "there must be proof" to which I replied "not with RJ on the case."

You have to wonder (not really) what the sports writers will say about all of this. Your first hint is what the ESPN writer said in the link above (watch video). Paraphrase: Alot of people are wonderiing why it's so harsh. None of the coaches that were invovled are even here. Most of the kids that are here were only in the 9th grade when all this happened.

I never heard that kind of simpothy in the Bama case. Not surprised by the initial reaction, just vindecated. We'll see how it all plays out. At least USC has an honest coaching staff, one with integrety to lead them through these sanctions :halo:

I am with you on this. I dont think it is funny at all and we shouldnt laugh at this.

Yeah, so what happens to Mike Garrett now - what kinda impact with this have on his legacy and future? Does Lane Kiffin and crew stick around for the chance to rebuild his "dream" job?

The LA Times is reporting 2 year bowl ban,20+ schollies, possible restrictions on off campus recruiting. Looks like the harshest penalties meted out since ours in 2002. As usual the kids who are there now will pay the penalty for what went on before they even enrolled in school.

i wonder if this still means they are considering retroactively revoking Reggie Bush's Heisman.

 

[Oiler99]

I'm just glad the NCAA is doing it to them and not us. We have been the whipping boy for them since 1993. Now, USC gets to see what it feels like to have those jackyls on them 24/7/365.

 

[ExiledTidefan]

This is a pretty big story. Crippling USC will be the end result. Lots of recruits going to take off. Who might Bama have an inside track on?

 

[BamaDelta]

None of the coaches that were invovled are even here.

Three points to this:

1. The athletic director is still there.
2. Carroll left of his own accord. He certainly wasn't fired or forced out.
3. Kiffin and Orgeron were on staff when this happened. Was it not a slap in the face of the NCAA to bring them back (especially when there were several secondary violations by them at Tennessee)? And to have them calling Tennessee recruits/commits to follow them to USC in a recruiting dead period? They can't follow a rule that's right in front of them.

I don't think the NCAA took kindly to any of this.

Why don't you think it's funny? I am not saying it has me rolling on the floor, but I do get the feeling of genuine satisfaction and vindication that it's happening to another major school.

 

[ExiledTidefan]

I agree that it's unfortunate for the guys that are there right now, and especially the ones for whom transferring is not really an option, or are in their last year of eligibility. So, on that end, I do feel sorry for those young guys.

On the other hand, everything about that athletic program has stunk for the past few years, other than all the wins on the field. Carroll and whatever he was up to, Reggie Bush, OJ Mayo, Matt Leinart parking in handicap spaces , the whole she-bang.

Since there is no mention of stripping their title from them in 2004, does this mean that Auburn still isn't the national champ? Man, talk about not getting a fair shake. Auburn figures that a court or the ncaa should award them a title because they can't get it done on the field!

 

[planomateo]

just remember what it was like when we were in their shoes years ago.

sucks that other kids get impacted by decisions of others years before them.

 

[psychojoe]

It will be interesting to see what the sanctions ultimately are. The NCAA has in its power the authority to allow current scholarship players to transfer anywhere without sitting out a season.

 

[TideAlum05]

2 year post season ban, significant loss of schollys, and Lane Kiffin is the guess chosen to guide you through it all. What an absolutely great day.

 

[BamaCore]

It's Kiffin's free pass to earn $4 million a year and still wallow in mediocrity in my opinion.

 

[ExiledTidefan]

It really is a dream job if you think about it. If you fail, while getting paid huge money, then everyone expected it because of the sanctions. If you succeed, while getting paid tons of money, then someone will offer you more! It's a win win for Kif-fin!
