The USC Trial Thread

[irish4ever]

I hate it when they vacate wins.

Hey, cheatin' is cheatin'! You cheat, can't count it!

Guys,
There is no sense trying to figure out what went on behind the closed doors or what the penalty could be. Let's all just sit back and await the words from the NCAA.

BUT, here is something to consider as you sit there hoping every night that USC gets the SMU death penalty. First, USC is a $$ maker for the NCAA. They are one the THE national powers in a major BCS conference in one of the biggest cities in all of the US. USC brings in MAJOR TV ratings. So, in the end you have one of the biggest $$$ making programs in all of sports for the NCAA.

Do you really believe that the NCAA is going to sanction a cash cow with more than vacated wins of the past??? NO WAY!!! We should fully expect them to be asked to give up some wins in years past. That's it. USC and the NCAA will hug, kiss and make friendly so to keep the $$ flowing.

If you believe the NCAA is about anything more than the $$$$$$, then you need to be admitted to Celebrity Rehab with Dennis Rodman. $$$$ is the only real reason we have no college football playoff.

they've nailed SC before... hell they hit bama within the last 15 years... while this factors in I don't think the NCAA is all about the money... they also don't want cfb becoming the wild west...

either way we shall see

USC Punishment

USC Punishment

article in the new york times about the hearing, seems as though they feel usc will not be getting off easy.

Analysis - After Long Hearing, U.S.C. Football Awaits Word on Penalties - News Analysis - NYTimes.com

Punishment is long overdue. The current players knew full well of the shenigans at USC and still decided to go there. Accordingly, if the punishment affects them, then so be it. At minimum, all wins during the years they cheated should be removed, scholarships for the next 4 years should be reduced by at least 5, the Heisman should be taken back from Bush, national championships should be removed and all coaches who chose to ignore obvious warning signs that things were not right should be removed. The USC Compliance Officer should likewise be fired and one reporting directly only to the USC President should be required immediately. Any further violations after the above are imposed will be grounds to suspend football for 5 years. Is this too tough...I don't think so. How about you?

You don't get it!! It'll go down in the record books as a never played game for USC, while, teams like ND who played them it's still consider a 1 in the lost column. I guess your satisfied with that, but whatever makes you feel better infront of USC buddies..

I say they get stuck in 1-AA division and not be able to make it to the playoffs for 5 years! Not seriously, but if you think about it, that would kill the program. Id like to see my ol' boyz of MO STATE get a whack at them cats.
