USC suspends frosh Baxter for opener

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Southern California freshman running back Dillon Baxter was suspended for the season opener at Hawaii.

Trojans coach Lane Kiffin told reporters Wednesday after practice that
Baxter was suspended for violating team rules, but gave no details.

"I think this is an extremely strong message, a very severe punishment, for a player that may be our most potentially skilled player on our whole roster to miss his first game," Kiffin said.

Baxter will continue to practice with the team. He was one of the stars of spring practice for USC and was expected to have a significant role in the Trojans' offense.

The NCAA will be talking to Bryce Brown about how he was recruited by Kiffin. Brown still hasn't been granted his release by Tennessee.

Regardless, Dooley's decision not to grant a release to Brown almost certainly won't help with the intangibles during the investigation. The Browns are probably ticked off about both the current and prior regime at Tennessee now, and while that shouldn't change the facts they relate to the NCAA officials, it likely won't help the tone.

But that's not the most concerning bit about this news. No, that would be found in this statement from Arthur Brown:
star-divide.v5e9d7f1.jpg

"They said they want to talk about the recruiting practices of Tennessee under Kiffin," Arthur Brown said. "We have nothing to hide. We have no need to be deceptive. If we made a mistake I can say it would not have been intentional. But I think this is about more than Bryce."
​
That's a solid statement up until the italics, which I've added for emphasis. Saying they have nothing to hide is a good, strong denial, and saying they have "no need to be deceptive" is a well-crafted way of gaining credibility by saying they're not going to lie because they have no reason to do so.

But then he says, "If we made a mistake I can say it would not have been intentional."

That there is like laying the groundwork for a plea deal. Seasoned investigators could view that statement, because it was given at such a preliminary stage, as an accidental concession that something wasn't quite right, even if the evidence might at the end of the day be insufficient to establish a serious infraction. If viewed in that manner, the investigators may work even harder to uncover hard evidence of intent or, more likely, additional circumstantial evidence of intent.

In any event, none of this is good. We're three weeks away from launching a new era with a clean slate, and even if absolutely nothing comes of the investigation, it's still a distraction, and honestly, we fans could do without the continual reminders of our mistake in judgment in going for a joy ride with Lane Kiffin.

If that policy of Kiffin's doesn't deflate the ego's of the USC fanatics nothing can reach them. The coach just said they can not properly prepare for the upcoming season. That is precisely what he said.

Contrast that to the situation OSU is in. If Saine broke a leg and they started to bring out the cart JT would say "Oh, just leave him. We got more."

You don't compete at the highest level if you can't compete. Good thing they are in the PAC however many.


When I am asked to list my favorite CFB coaches of all time Woody and JT will always be at the top. But for the next three I will always be tempted to include Weiss, RR and Kiffin. They are adding so much to my enjoyment of the game particularly as I follow it on message boards.
