we will see if the NCAA keeps looking the other direction for the beloved SoCal

The bigger the tv audience the more likely the pass.

I can't believe anybody gives a crap. If USC gets any serious reprimands for this stuff, then the NCAA will oficially surpass the ACLU as the most uptight organization on the planet.

they better not pass any suspensions, i want to see USC vs Texas both teams at full strength.

I thought they already were. The ncaa's rules are so petty and ridiculous they're impossible to keep up with. They could nail any program anytime they wanted to.

As BS as alot of these rules may be all of the schools have to follow them. So USC breaking a BS rule means they still broke a rule and if another PAC-10 team like Oregon had been caught they wouldn't get off. So, either change the rules or have all schools, regardless of ranking, follow them. I am not naive enough to believe it will work like this but it should.

I understand what you're saying, and you're right that they need to enforce the rules evenly. My point though is that there are entirely too many rules and that most of them are just plain petty. The ncaa is just another huge bureaucracy that needs to clean house or be done away with altogether. :twocents:

Agree of most rules to "protect" the kids are BS and bureaucracy is thick. There does need to be regulating though becuase College Football is a HUGE $$ sport. Some schools left unchecked would rule on the side of $$ and not the rules. Problem is finding the balance. Probably never will.

Very true. There definitely needs to be a ruling body to keep everybody on the level. I just wish there was a way to keep and enforce the important rules without having to deal with the petty ones. It'll probably never happen though.

I am much more concerned about the penalty that they handed down in South Carolina compared to what they did at UK. The reason they came down so hard at UK was because of "lack of institutional control". At South Carolina they took away four scholarships with no bowl restrictions for the very same charge, and for about the same number of violations. Thanks Steve.
