The record over a long time has been consistently toward the top and I think if anything, this will galvanize the USC Program into an us vs. them mind set. They will emphasize the quality of incoming freshmen and others and will make games like Notre Dame and other "name opponents" their "Bowl Games" for two years. Rest assured Trojan haters, that they will not disappear. They will return bigger, faster, and better than ever. I understand. I'm not particularly excited about it either, but I guarantee that it will happen.
Dude, if you don't think this won't affect USC future, your drinking some strong koolaide. It certainly will. Loss of 20 scholarships and 2yr bowl ban will affect the next few years of recruiting significantly. Not only that, they have another "shadey" coach running the program. Its going to set USC back a number of years, no question about that.
And do your research...after John Robinson left, the first time...USC was pretty insignificant, and had a couple losing seasons as well.
