Seems like whenever there is an outrage over something and the media is doing overkill on it. Something gets announced that would normally get killed on a slow media day just slides under the radar.
Do you think they wait for that kind of opportinuty?
Although, I'm happy Penn St got the break. The kids are the ones that suffer. The criminals that usually cause the sanctions skate away like Pete Carroll and Reggie Bush. In this particular case however, Sandusky is rotting in prison and Joe Pa is rotting in the ground. Not sure if the administraters above Joe Pa gotted slapped or not.
USC got totally screwed.
The fact that they never reduced the sanctions later (like what just happened with PSU) is somewhat surprising. USC is and has been a very prestigous school and are media darlings. Plus, this was all Bush and Carroll and both run off to the NFL unscathed and then kids that have dreamed of going to school there can't due to the stripped scholorships.
This dicipline method in College is broken.
Bush's parents were put up in a house 120 miles away from the school and someone paid for it. Heaven for bid a program that makes $100-million a year would take care of people in need. I don't think Carroll left because he was tired of USC. I think he left because he was tired of the collegiate system. All too often Bush and Carroll have been named as the rule-breakers in this case. In reality, the deal was between Bush's parents and an assistant coach.
I have a hard enough time keeping track of my own house and my kids. I can't imagine having to be responsible for 100 families at once.
IMO, the reason the USC sanctions stuck was because they tried to fight the NCAA.
Carroll left because the NCAA hammer was about to come down on his program..
Not because he was tired of the collegiate system.
That is the consensus among the talking heads (and a lazy one might I add), but when an NFL team comes at you with $6.7-million a year and total control of the operation, not many would turn it down. I can't blame him for leaving. He has taken a lot of heat, but not many would do anything differently, including myself.
His option was to stay and run a college program where he is expected to be accountable for 100 adolescent young men with their first whiff of independence.
