Face it, it's all a crock. USC made a TON of money for the NCAA, ABC and ESPN during the 2000s, and everyone looked the other way. Don't tell me that everyone didn't know the program was crooked, how else did they have such a dominant decade? But now that Pete Carroll is gone, and many of the recruits have re-considered and signed with other schools, now's the time to slap them on the wrist with these penalties.
College football is nothing more than a business. Their revenue stream is right up there with the NFL, if not higher, and yet these players see none of it. The best players get a free ride, take "rocks for jocks" in school, leave early, and head to the NFL for millions. The rest of the players get cast to the side once their usefulness is tapped out. When I was at Fresno State, our football program was in the national spotlight, Trent Dilfer was our QB and a bonafide star, and the team graduated 11% of the players. 7 players on a suit-up team of 66, 13 on the 125-man roster.
You might want to look into this lawsuit then.

- June 10, 2010, 01:21:11 PMYeah, they waited too long and every time they do this to a school, it's the current students/players that lose out for something done by previous students. Not fair to the current ones... Need to figure out a way to penalize the school without affecting the goals of the current players that had nothing to do with it.

- June 10, 2010, 11:38:46 AMAny of the so cal residents and/or college football fans have any thoughts about NCAA sanctions against USC Football. Pac 10 expansion University of Colorado now a new Pac 10 member, others may follow.
Thoughts and opinions welcome.
Seems to me that the NCAA waited to long to impose sanctions 5-6 years after the fact. There were news story being circulated in december 04 and January 05 about possible sanctions. All of this should have been done back then. I cant see any possible reason to impose sanctions now on players thata in 2004 were still in middle school.
