USC has been hit with a two-year post-season ban in addition to the loss of scholarships, among other penalties from the NCAA.

I can't help but feel bad for kids like Matt Barkley. While I despise USC unlike any other program in the land, Barkley seems like a humble kid with his head on straight and a ton of talent to boot. And now he is screwed because of the transgressions of others, and Lane Kiffin is now his head coach. I bet his head is swimming right about now.

ESPN doesn't know what the fuck they are talking about. They have reported three times now that a decision would be coming down when it wasn't. They are literally just throwing darts at the wall at this point.
This is the latest from the people who actually know what is going on at USC:

We'll all know soon enough, but ESPN seriously needs to just shut up until the official announcement comes at this point from either SC or the NCAA.

Los Angeles (AP) -- Two media outlets are reporting the
Bookmark Story
NCAA has decided to ban USC's football team from the postseason
Copy Story Link
for two years and strip the program of scholarships.
The Los Angeles Times reported the NCAA sanctions include
the loss of more than 20 scholarships. According to a story Topics
Most Read News - All (R
posted on ESPN.com on Wednesday night, the Trojans also will
forfeit wins "from at least the 2004 season."
The penalties stem from the NCAA's investigation of
allegations of improper benefits for Heisman Trophy-winning
running back Reggie Bush during his time at the school.
Southern California announced in January that it had
imposed sanctions on the basketball team for recruiting
violations involving O.J. Mayo, including a ban on postseason
play last season.

On Bloomberg this morning there is an AP story supporting the 2-year ban claim. That being said, the story simply mentions "two media outlets" and doesn't name them.
So does it count as "three sources" if the third source is describing the first two sources??? LOL -- Gotta love the MSM.

Here is Matt Hinton's (Dr. Saturday) post on the topic from today, basically saying the same thing though it also says the penalties are expected to fall heaviest on the basketball program. It quotes anonymous sources at USC.

If the NCAA wants to twist the knife, they'll do what they did with Alabama and allow a window of opportunity for players to transfer without having to sit out a year. Open the floodgates.

Sean Parker went to Washington, not USC.

the postseason ban only
the postseason ban only
the postseason ban only matters if it doesn't start until the 2011 season. 2010 recruits can't do anything about it now, so it doesn't really hurt USC. and 2011 recruits would only have to live with missing a bowl for one year, which isn't such a big deal, because so few of them would be playing in it anyway. if 2011 recruits knew they would miss two bowls, meaning even if they redshirted, they still couldn't play, that might have a real effect on recruiting.
June 10th, 2010 at 12:47 AM |
Well, assuming they can free

Well, assuming they can free up scholarships for the 2011 class. The scholarship reductions mean tha either USC takes a tiny class, or that people (Mitch Mustain?) will be booted off the team left and right.
