Yes, it would be nice to see the NCAA be consistant but that is not going to happen. Look at UT, OSU and Wisconsin. They have already proved that they are not fair. They have hit USC before with sanctions in the 90s so it isn't like they have never hit USC before.
One thing we know is that the NCAA had a vandetta against us and that is why they hit us like they did. The Barry Switzer issue with the NCAA is why OU will likely get hit again. Bama embarrased them before in the courts, along with Jerry Tarkanian and Barry Switzer. They ruined Tark's carreer, declared war on us and will likely do the same to OU because of it.
All I know, is that it wasn't a bunch of USC fans that came after us, made accusations and was bent on destroying us. It was our SEC brothers that cheered for that.
And don't forget, if it was about money then they would not have came after us because we generate more revenue than USC, WIsconsin or Ohio State.
