NCAA HANDS USC TICKING PACKAGE, LEAVES

Over twenty scholarships, a two year bowl ban, and additional penalties to come when the full report is released tomorrow: USC has received the most severe punishment handed down by the NCAA since the 2002 Alabama ruling. BUT MMM THESE DONUTS ARE DELICIOUS UP HERE IN SEATTLE! OMG MAPLE BARS! I LOVE MAPLE BARS!!!
(It's 1:50 a.m. here on the East Coast. When we wake up we're sure the Big East will have somehow conned Notre Dame into joining the conference and the SEC will have expanded to include Texas A&M and Boise State, but a man has to sleep sometime. Unless you're Pete Carroll, of course, or Lane Kiffin, last seen frantically negotiating for the Cleveland Cavaliers head coaching job.)

We Ducks are already making plans about kvetching about how Texas is ruining the conference and blah blah revenue sharing. And then, with little warning, we’ll join the Big 10. It’ll be great.

That's not going to happen
because Larry Scott is not Dan Beebe. Unless you think Larry Scott is going to allow USC to start issuing ultimatums, in which case we welcome you to the annual competition for the Big Integer West Division.

Win Forever, Pete
At least USC hired a couple of real character guys in Lane Kiffin and Ed Orgeron to clean up the mess
This could be fun
Limited recruiting contacts, probation and forfeiture of victories are also among the penalties regarded as possibly in play.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE. Kiffin and Orgeron and the words “Limited recruiting contacts” equal sitcom quality hijinx.

i gotta say...
as an alabama fan i don’t really have much a feeling of chadenfreude about this as honest-to-god relief that we aren’t going through this whole ugly mess again ourselves. yeah, there’s a bit of excitement at having a shot at getting this little bit of business sorted out but this really isn’t something you wish on your worst enemy. it’s a disaster for the sport as a whole.

Technically,
Since the Trojans had to vacate all 2004 wins, I think you’ve already tied them.
You also have to deal with the Auburn fans. Either they are the national champs, or the title went to an 0-13 team.

nah, if USC has to forfeit then that means Oklahoma won the BCS game. They’ll be BCS champions.

We’ll just wait to see what the BCS, which is totally separate from the NCAA, ends up doing and whether they award it to us, to OK or just leave it blank. We can just use the same criteria the school up the road uses and claim the title anyway.

AP doesnt necessarily mean it was earned
See Colorado 1990 for an example.
No, it's not
Just because you feel some sympathy for Southern Cal since you both are now established cheaters who were caught and punished is no reason for the hyperbole of “disaster for the sport as a whole”. Put down the crack pipe and take a couple of breaths. Then learn how to spell.
You’re from the ‘champagne’ of Bama blogs but can’t spell schadenfraude. Alabama educational jokes write themselves.
without commenting on your vitriole
suffice it to say that a down period for one of the traditional powers is always a loss for the sport: It’s fun to laugh at ND for sucking at life, but was the sport better for it, especially in NYC and the Second City? No. Ditto Texas’s and OU’s down periods were not good for the flyover. Do you think Michigan’s struggles are good for the Rust Belt? Negative. Alabama’s struggles were not good for the SEC, either.
And, USCs will not be good for the P10, and by extension, the sport.

your argument would make sense if there was any truth to it
Always a loss? College football has and is only getting more popular and making more money with each passing year. And this is while your dark ages of Bama, ND and Michigan sucking and/or continuing to suck. There’s not one shred of sense or truth in what you’re arguing.
I know, like and respect a great number of LSU alum, fans and supporters. As a group, they are some of the most gracious, cordial, and generally knowledgeable of the conference; that says a lot to have respect and like a fanbase, especially given that the rivalry is a heated one.
Alas, particularly on the “knowledgeable” bit, you do not qualify among their number. And, if you remove your head from its anal cavern, you will understand what Kleph’s point was, what my point is, and what anyone who observes the sport as a whole knows: It’s not beneficial for a major power to be down on the mat.

And, you apparently started watching CFB in 2003...
the sport regained tremendous popularity with the return to elite status of some of it’s more prominent members: Texas, OU, OSU, USC, Michigan…even while ND and Alabama were floundering, it has merely continued from that point.

gawd you are dumb
CFB got bigger in the 80s when ND and Miami ruled the roost, even as UF, SC, and other big names you cite weren’t doing much. CFB got bigger in the 90s as UF rose and Bama fell. ND started to disappear along with Miami. Texas sucked. But there were teams that took their place and the sport grew in revenue and popularity. In the recent decade ND and Michigan have gone completely into the shitter. Texas has risen and so did SC along with a host of other teams. And guess what, CFB continued to grow.
The notion that CFB needs those names and can’t enjoy success without them is just. fucking. dumb. It holds no water whatsoever.
As for you in particular, you use your mouth prettier than a whore, but you’re still only sucking dicks with it.
Why am I trying to talk to a Bama fan?
I will just answer you last question...
…because you wish to converse with a better class of people. ;)
Auburn and Tennessee fans are a lot like Slinkys...neither are worth much but you do get a sense of satisfaction from pushing them down a flight of stairs
Seriously, an LSU fan wants to run educational smack

That faint noise you just heard in the distance
was the entire state of Alabama collectively saying “Finally, someone else for a change”
No one will like the result
1. This is bullshit! (USC-West supporters who think it’s way harsh and the NCAA would never treat the SEC like this)
2. This is bullshit! (Almost everyone else. They’ll think it’s too light and proves the NCAA will never do anything to the SEC, specifically UF)
If you go far enough, you’ll meet yourself.
Your right the NCAA would never touch UF...
except that time in 1985 when they basically handed down the exact same punishment to them. Thanks to Charlie Pells 107 violations we received a two year tv and bowl ban and a loss of 20 scholarships…
But your still right, they’d never do that to UF.

well, that was before UF became UF. I don’t buy PalmettoTiger’s statement either, but things were much different in 85.

-Hank Hill
Not really my point
It doesn’t matter whether it’s true or not so stop trying to mess up their good conspiracy theory with pesky inconvenient facts. Read around on Rivals and you’ll find plenty of posts by people who are convinced UF is cheating because of the way recruiting went this year or for other reasons. You’ve got people who think UF (or the whole SEC!) ought to be in the gunsight next but nothing’ll happen because they (we) are currently too high profile.
That’s all. I’m thinking they’re delusional but YMMV, of course.

I just realized something
(and by “just realized”, I mean recognized it as soon as I read the article). Isn’t Southern Cal the second program to be punished for flagrant cheating that led directly to a national title. Hmmmm, now who was that other team? PalmettoTiger, can you help me with this?

OJ’s failure at life didn’t occur while he was playing college football. What he did after is not especially relevant to an award for excellence at college football. Bush’s transgressions, while undoubtedly less severe in the grand scheme of things, bear directly on his eligibility for college football (and therefore the Heisman). So I wouldn’t consider it ridiculous.
Calipari and Carroll.....
…..are like those “Traveler” guys who give you a great deal on blacktopping your driveway, but a couple days after they’re done, you realize you just paid a grand for some buckets of black paint.
you have Travelers in Michigan?
I don’t understand them… they all live together and have arranged marriages for their kids at 8 years old…
except that Calipari has never been formally investigated by the NCAA
The UMass and Memphis problems were treated as things he didn’t know, nor could he have known.
