    USC suspended from post season bowls for 2 years, might lose 2004 NCAA championship

    yep. you read it. it's official.

    USC has been violating NCAA regulations for years, and Pete Carroll got out just in time, before all his titles and records were stripped from him.

    USC punished with two-year postseason ban
    http://sports.espn.go.com/los-angeles/ncf/news/story?id=5272615
    The NCAA handed the University of Southern California a two-year postseason football ban and vacated wins in Reggie Bush's final season, among other penalties, for violations in its football, men's basketball and women's tennis programs on Thursday.


    You'll remember back before Carroll signed with the Seahawks i was talking about this (actually this has been in the works for the better part of 3 years now... somehow USC was able to hold off the NCAA for 3 years... they couldn't keep it going, Carroll saw the writing on the wall and bailed)... Looks like Lane Kiffin is stuck holding the bag.

      yeah.. trust me... as someone who's worked, clawed and scraped for and earned everything he's gotten in football through hard work... i have zero sympathy for the legacy baby Kiffin who has done nothing but fall ass backwards into the dream head coaching jobs in football, one after another, and never had to... you know. win anywhere.

      it might be sour grapes... but i would kill for a chance to head coach in the NFL, or at University of Tennessee... and that legacy baby not only had those jobs gift wrapped for him, but he didn't even have to produce respectable results anywhere to get what is arguably one of the best HC jobs in football... anywhere at USC. so i am certainly laughing about it...

        After watching what happened at Tennessee, the business with Kiffin in Oakland makes me think that Al Davis has moments of lucidity.

        Nobody at USC generally has to work for anything, and it shows up in a lot of their players once they reach the next level. The LB's have been good, but then again, they were on 'roids. Look at some of the members of that famous team that have gone on to the next level: Leinart, Bush, LenDale White... Not exactly overachievers, that's for sure.

          Couldn't happen to a better program. RIP for about 5 years, USC.

          And Pete Carroll escapes before the fire. Here's hoping Seattle wins 1 game a year for the next 5 years.

            30 scholarships WOW...if they are vacating that one Bush year, the Heisman should also be taken away.

              The biggest deal is the 30 scholarships.

                The biggest deals to me are that all their players with two years of eligibility left can transfer to any school without sitting out and that the 2011 incoming freshman cannot redshirt their first year.

                They will only lose 6-7 scholarships a year I read, but they will still land 4-5 5 star guys.
                COMING SOON...

                  Going to be tough to land those 4-5 star guys based primarily upon what you said in your first paragraph.

                  Is Lane really going to be able to sit in some high ranked prospect's living room and pitch it? "I realize that we can't offer you a chance at any post season action and that you will be forever associated with USC during the 'dark years'. . . BUT there's good news! Many of our up-and-coming players just bailed for greener pastures, so you will get a chance to play right away!" He adds under his breath, "plus I can't redshirt ya anyhow".

                  "What was that, Mr Kiffin?" Mr. High Prospect asks?

                  "Oh, er, nothing. I was just reminiscing about better times in Oakland."
                  Still searching for that offensive rhythm.

                    You have to know Kiffin and Orgeron will spin things to favor them when talking to recruits. And kids are dumb, they'll believe it, or they won't care.

                    During his currently brief stints as head coach, Kiffin has shown to be a very, very powerful recruiter.

                    But yes, these penalties were a long time coming.

                      What kid is going to want to go to a team that isn't bowl eligable? I know they'll still land players because its USC but if I'm talented and smart, I'm eyeballing any other school that gives me that extra game to showcase talent.

                      Scholarships are the biggest loss for them, but the best part is it falls in to Lane Kiffins lap. Worthless ******* deserves it.

                          Why weren't they just given the death penalty?? Why is there even any recourse? Teams have been cheating for years. It's simple - you break the rules and your program dies. Period.

                            Alright slow down there, USC doesnt deserve to be killed because an agent/rep bought and paid for some stuff for Reggie Bush. Wow that's going out on a limb a bit don't you think?
