This has been a looong time coming.

But it ain't news 'till ESPN jumps on board.

Dude, you can bet half their team was getting funds... why you think so many guys kept signing on to go to USC?

Freehuddle was the 1st and only place I have heard about this. Hopefully ESPN gives it the attention it deserves. (They haven't so far)

Still can't see the NCAA doing anything to USC. Not only does USC own the police, they own the NCAA.

Now that USC had a down year, we could finally see the NCAA throwing the hammer down.

Or maybe not. =/

Would those wins improve Charlie's record enough to get him out of having the worst winning percentage at ND?

Because it's in Southern California? And Pete Carroll is a fun coach? And because he sends his guys to the NFL?

Now I'm not saying he isn't doing anything illegal, but there are plenty of simple reasons to explain why guys want to play at USC.

My view of Pete Carrol...the guy is obviously a great college coach. He can recruit, and he motivates like no other in big games. Although he still gets a yearly HUGE upset that is very unexplainable.
And, I am not sure I would point the finger directly at him for the cheating that is going on at USC as far as him doing it. I am not sure he is directly involved. BUT, I can see him turning a blind eye (kind of like John Wooden). Its obviously his program, and he should be held responsible for what goes on though.
But when you look at the entire USC situation with Bush, and most recently in basketball with Mayo...the university as a whole REEKS of cheating across the board. If the NCAA finds anything at all with both programs, they NEED to come down hard and send a message.
This will get interesting. I think this case is what the NCAA has been waiting on. Add in the recent issue with McKnight, and this only adds to what is going on at USC.

The NCAA will be so upset over USC's behavior, they'll invoke the death penalty on SMU again.

The thing with USC, and I know that it's not the only school with these problems is that it has all these agents in LA and with the lifestyle of Southern Cal it's probably more relevant and easier to get away with than most other places.

It would be hard to keep some of the things that go on in Southern Cal as quiet here in Columbus. Columbus isn't nearly as big. You don't have the same lifestyle. And you don't have as much money overall.

I can't wait to hear what Herbie has to say on this--he's a big Petey fan,so I wonder if he'll be as candid about this as he was about the play of OSU's Oline earlier in the season(and justifiably so!!!)
