And, to underline my personal enmity for espin, there sits Holtz with his grinning commentary, sitt'n in the catbird's seat on espin's entertainment sport program on gameday. What a crock of shit. What a total lack of journalistic integrity by that skunk network of bobble heads.

Is South Carolina big enough for ESPN to bother trying to "bring down" (ie. hammer incessantly like that is their goal for existence) ?

I think the question ought to be whether ESPN should fire Holtz. More than a handful of ESPN's sports figures called for Tressel's head the last two years with respect to situations that amounted to nothing. I would expect ESPN to live by the standards it attempts to impose on others.

No, his probation is three more years of sitting next to Mark May.

I don't see any reason to call Holtz out on gameday. Holtz isn't the hypocrite that called for Tressel's head, even though his own program was dirty. That was Mark May. Holtz might not have taken the high ground last year, when it came to the fire Tressel crowd at ESPN, but we'll never know for sure. He wasn't employed by ESPN yet.

For the lazy, and for historical purposes in case that link dies in a while (bold added) :

"USC will lose two scholarships from its 85-scholarship total during the 2006 and ’07 seasons and a total of 12 official recruiting visits during the next two years. The probationary period extends through June 2008, but the Gamecocks will not be barred from appearing on TV or participating in postseason play."

Are you kidding me? A dude from Tyco sits on the infractions committee? I guess it takes one to know one. This is the same Tyco which is headquartered in Bermuda to avoid paying US taxes and recently had it's CEO convicted of stealing hundreds of millions from the company and sentenced to 25 years. :roll2: Gotta love the NCAA!
