Looks that way. The Whitney Hotel and the S.A.M. organization are the culprits.

S.A.M. is the same organization that got Shariff Floyd suspended.

According to the NOA (PDF), the owner of the Whitney Hotel in Columbia -- described in the NOA as a "representative of the institution's athletics interests" -- provided some $47,000 in improper benefits to various Gamecock football players in the form of discounted hotel suites. The suites were charged to multiple players at a cost of just $14.59 per day, and with several players' having their already-reduced rent deferred, the players also stand accused of receiving "impermissible loans."

With the violations occurring throughout the 2009 season, it seems likely Carolina will have to vacate their seven wins that year.

So it looks like we have to wait until Feb to find out if more will happen to USCe, instead of just getting wins taken away from 09.

Its the SEC, so if you want to read the story on ESPN, you'll have to search for it. It isn't front page news.
