I will say this, Kiffin is a master at PR. I mean a real master. Might be the thing he is best at. Now I see why he interviews so well.
That's the thing... The AP matters just as much as the BCS here. There have obviously been split national titles forever. So long as the AP decides not to revote, SC will probably still go down in the books as the '04 national champs, in spite of their vacated wins.It was just reported on ESPN2 that the BCS intends to vacate USC's National Championship leaving no team as winner.

The BCS national title is only the "official championship" to those who believe the BCS is the best system for determining it. I, for one, choose not to hold the BCS as the single standard, but think of the AP as an equally credible poll.
I'm not trying to pick an argument, but what was stated in the report against Orgeron and Kiffin?
Here is how the scholarship reductions will affect USC:
This is assuming USC loses ZERO players to attrition, career ending injuries, or early entry to the NFL Draft. So in reality, things will be much worse than this. It also doesnt take walk-ons into account.
2010: 109 total players on the roster, 75 of those will be players who were awarded a scholarship out of HS or JUCO. The other 34 are either walk-ons, players who have earned a scholarship, or transfers. They still get 85 scholarships for 2010 so 10 of those 34 will be awarded a scholarship.
2011: 103 total players on the roster, 76 of those will be players who were awarded a scholarship out of HS or JUCO. The other 27 are either walk-ons, players who have earned a scholarship, or transfers. The have 75 scholarships available meaning one player must give up their scholarship. This is assuming the maximum allowed 15 are signed for 2011 and no Juniors declare early.
2012: 85 total players on the roster. 73 of those will be players who were awarded a scholarship out of HS or JUCO. The other 12 are either walk-ons, players who have earned a scholarship, or transfers. They have 75 scholarships available meaning they have room to give 2 walk ons scholarships. This is assuming the maximum allowed 15 are signed for 2011 and no Juniors declare early.
2013: 79 total players on the roster. 75 of those will be players who were awarded a scholarship out of HS or JUCO. The other four are either walk-ons, players who have earned a scholarship, or transfers.They have 75 scholarships available meaning all 75 will get a scholarship. This is assuming the maximum allowed 15 are signed for 2011 and no Juniors declare early.
2014: 45 returning scholarship players. The players in the incoming 2010 Freshman class who are redshirted and stay all five years will add to this number. If all 20 players did this then USC would need to sign 20 players in 2014 to get to the 85 mark. If none of the 2010 class is still around in 2014, USC will need to sign 40 players in 2014 to get to the 85 mark. Most likely it will be around 6-12, meaning USC will need a class of around 28-34 to fill the 85 scholarships.
Here is the breakdown by class for the 2010 season, including walk ons (number of scholarship players in parentheses):
RS SR: 15 (10)
SR: 6 (4)
RS JR: 22 (8)
JR: 11 (10)
RS SO: 15 (7)
SO: 6 (6)
RS FR: 13 (10)
FR: 21 (20)
I loved his answer when asked how USC football would come back after all the sanctions. He answered by pointing out that the last time they had come back from a 3 yr post-season ban to be successful.
Nothing like pointing out the history of cheating at your school to make things seem better.
I do not agree, in my mind that national championship is history. AP or no AP.That's the thing... The AP matters just as much as the BCS here. There have obviously been split national titles forever. So long as the AP decides not to revote, SC will probably still go down in the books as the '04 national champs, in spite of their vacated wins.

I bet the kids he will be recruiting were watching that early 80's Trojan team bounce back from cheating. No Problem at all huh..lol

Your Kiffin/ USC love affair is bizzare for someone who has a ut logo as one of their fav 3 teams.
