I think the NCAA would have a better idea than you as to whether or not USC stonewalled. touche

As I said, seal off the university from outsiders and this goes down the exact same way it did. The people Bush took money from knew Bush since high school. They lived in San Diego. Bush's parents lived in San Diego. They wanted to start a marketing agency and they wanted Bush as their first...

Lloyd Lake made it a condition of cooperating with the NCAA that USC not be present at his interview or the interviews of his sister, mother, and girlfriend. USC cooperated fully, the NCAA even acknowledges that in its report. The Leinart apartment gift being where our Heisman Trophy...

Been far too long a process to still be fuming at anyone. I think Lake, Michaels, and Reggie's stepdad are most to blame. I might add Reggie to that list except I don't know whether he got involved voluntarily or whether his stepdad put him in such a hole that he just decided to go along with...

I can't say because some of those 2010 players enrolled early (and can be counted as c/o 2009) and my understanding on initial grant-in aid is not sharp. Plus the appeal stays some or all of the scholarship penalties, so it is hard to say from the outside looking in.

USC intends to target a good number of early enrollees who can be counted against 2010 Or bucknuts where every recruit who goes elsewhere was never a true buckeye, not worth the baggage, and a bullet dodged (and I heard that the staff cooled on them a few weeks ago but let them front otherwise).

Wade = Jeter LeBron = Arod

There will be anger ... "and then there will be the real friends who love me for me"

Lakers sign PG Steve Blake to a 4-year deal, shoring up the team's biggest weakness. Oh and they got some news yesterday, but I can't remember it off the top of my head.

Sorry for the confusion, I meant they played it right in that they knew there would be a PR hit and decided to push it off. Hard to "fire an implicated assistant" while simultaneously maintaining his innocence. Sends a mixed message.

If his contract ended in May, they would have declined to renew it then. It was a football decision, pure and simple. Yes, nor will he be able to recruit for a year if he catches on somewhere else. Message board fans weren't really a concern. USC knew they would have to take the PR hit...

I'm saying that Lane Kiffin didn't want to retain McNair as RB coach. Kiffin told university officials this in January. Fresh off Carroll leaving for Seattle, the university didn't want to push McNair out and have media and/or the NCAA interpret the decision (to get rid of McNair) as having to...

And the university somehow had the foresight two or so years ago (whenever they renewed McNair's contract to have an ending date of June 30, 2010) to know that the sanctions would come down in June 2010 and implicate McNair?

What do you mean?

Garrett will get ushered out after the new university president is installed. Kiffin wanted to replace McNair in January. USC decided to play out McNair's contract so that releasing him wouldn't be interpreted as being related to the sanctions. Judging by the response here, it seems they...

Yeah, because if there is any position where the coach makes the player, it's runningback.

Also remember to under-report your income by about 20% to the IRS. This is standard practice and they expect and accept it.

This match was/is surreal. Shame that they couldn't finish it. Isner definitely wanted to play on, probably because he doesn't know (or does know) how he'll feel tomorrow.

YES!

well that sucks
