LA Times reporting a loss of 20 scholarships in football.

As far as free transfers, every USC SR and JR can transfer and be eligible now. Bowl ban takes up the rest of their eligibility.

1.Bylaw 13.1.1.3.3: No release needed to contact student athletes if school is has postseason ban for the rest of their eligibility.

2.Bylaw 14.8.2: The COI can recommend a waiver to allow student athletes to transfer and play immediately if ban is for the rest of their eligibility.

As for incoming freshman, USC would have to release them from their scholarship. Think Lane would let SH walk?

thanks to bylawblog for the info.

Source: USC football gets 2-year ban

The USC football program will receive a two-year postseason ban, a reduction in scholarships and a forfeiture of wins from at least the 2004 season when the NCAA releases its sanctions on Thursday, a source told ESPN's Shelley Smith.
The Los Angeles Times reported the NCAA sanctions include the loss of more than 20 scholarships.

I've long been skeptical as to what kind of "punishment" the NCAA would drop on the USC. I have to admit, I'm impressed.

Whats the history with an appeal mitigating these charges? It seems like Roger Goddell is always taking the teeth out of his suspensions.

C'mopn NCAA - we've been waiting a long time. Start the music and let's get this conga line underway.

Take a moment and let is sink in.

USC is one step from the death penalty.

And Lane Kiffin is their coach.

So while the majority of the USC football team hangs its head Mitch Mustain is throwing a party.

So, Pete Carroll leaving for the NFL before all of this hits... seems to reflect badly on him as a man of integrity, or just a man (not that he had much going for him in that sense anyways)... thoughts?
