Source: Findings on USC coming Friday

The NCAA committee on infractions will release its findings regarding the USC football and basketball programs on Friday, a source with knowledge of the situation told ESPN.com's Dana O'Neil on Sunday.
The NCAA infractions committee held a hearing in February in which USC presented its responses to allegations of NCAA violations.
The Tempe, Ariz., proceedings featured appearances from former basketball coach Tim Floyd and new football coach Lane Kiffin -- and an overloaded cart of documents that included seven boxes and two massive bound folders.

But though USC chose to contest the allegation against the football program, its ultimate goal is to overcome the perception of a lack of institutional control, which could result in significant sanctions, including scholarship reductions, TV and postseason bans, recruiting restrictions and probation.
If USC is found guilty of major violations, the NCAA also could rule that the Trojans are "repeat violators." Per NCAA rules, "An institution shall be considered a 'repeat' violator if the Committee on Infractions finds that a major violation has occurred within five years of the starting date of a major penalty."
The athletic program was last sanctioned in August of 2001, so if football allegations concerning former Trojans running back Reggie Bush are found to be major violations, they would fall within that time frame.
The football program could be forced to forfeit victories from Bush's seasons there (2003-05) -- during which time the Trojans won a national championship and lost in the BCS title game against Texas.

It's like this. Picking at a scab will temporally make you feel better but you know in the end it will be unsatisfying and leave a worse scar. That sums up this whole thread.

So it begs the ethical question;
Is Ohio State and any other school not cheating like USC being foolish?

Quite simply, no. There is infinitely greater satisfaction from doing things the right way and succeeding.

The only thing that's going to shock me is if the NCAA actually puts this 5 year investigation to rest on Friday..... seems to me I've heard the "NCAA to rule by ____" before.

Yup, I too will believe it when I see it in writing from the NCAA Infractions Committee. There also have been to many "unnamed sources that have said "by x day the NCAA will rule on the investigation into USC blah blah blah".

You're assuming there are schools that aren't cheating.
