NCAA Tosses the Book at USC

That's going to leave a mark. Now it makes sense why Carroll bolted for the NFL.

The loss of 10-12 schollies in FB will hurt a program. Hard to imagine with the loss of 30 will do.

It looks like Los Angeles is losing its third professional football team in 20 years..

But if programs like Alabama and Miami are any indicator, they'll be back in about 5-10 years.

More importantly, you can bet that Reggie Bush's Heisman is probably going to be ripped away soon.

Precisely. Thank you.

This is a slap on the wrist. If the NCAA really wanted to tag them, in addition the penalties already imposed, it should fine them heavily. USC might get stung a little, but it'll be bounce back in a few years.

Sidenote, I never understood the concept of vacating wins. You can't undo something that's already happened. Just don't see the point.

I never thought it was right to vacate a teams wins. Normally its just one stupid coach or athlete who screws up and all the kid's that work hard all year are punished for it. I just don't think it's the right thing to do. I never have. It just seems like you're hurting the student athletes more than anyone else.
