Get off my lawn, you hooligans!
My question is this: How is this different from the stampede of OSU pre-meds taking their organic chemistry at Columbus State? In other words: why criticize USC (or its athletes) for doing something that broke no rule at all? If USC wants to discontinue the practice, that's fine, but I think they are making a mistake by making it retroactive.....

The quote from J.T. Curtis, HS Coach of 2007 USC signee Joe McKnight, seems relevant to this thread.

...
McKnight said he was not at all worried about the prospect that USC may be penalized because of an investigation of whether Reggie Bush or his parents took improper payments from agents while Bush was playing there.
McKnight said USC coach Pete Carroll set up a conference call so he and Curtis could talk to Bush and ease their worries that USC might wind up under sanctions.
"We addressed that directly and we were satisfied," Curtis said. He said Carroll told him that USC is not being investigated.

Wouldn't contact with a former player be awful close to a violation? I'm not trying to throw stones, I just thought that former players (or current players aside from campus visits) weren't allowed to have any input in the process. Kinda like whats-his-face and the restaurant that got ole Petey in minor trouble...?
I guess since the contact was of the nature it was, and was probably initiated by the recruit, it'd be OK... I just wonder if they're crowding the line between "OK" and "not OK"

It's so Japaneasy
It's curious that Reggie is comfortable talking to USC recruits about this investigation, but not to the NCAA ?
Ever since he told ESPN that, in the end, we'd all learn nothing happened -- but then refused to discuss what happened -- I've been skeptical. As time goes by it just looks worse and worse to me.

C'mon, what do you think New Orleans biggest booster says when he is in a 3-way call?
"Yeah, you got me dead to rights, I took all that money and USC is doomed," more likely the conversation goes "I did not have financial relationships with that Indian giver."

Pettie gets a three way with Reggie and a recruit but USC won't let Reggie have a sideline pass for the Rose Bowl and told him it was better he didn't show up. Hmmmm, how dumb is this recruit????:tongue2:

USC Probes Possible Recruiting Violation
LOS ANGELES ? Southern California is looking into whether it may have violated NCAA recruiting rules while pursuing highly rated recruit Joe McKnight, a university official said.
McKnight signed a national letter of intent with USC on Wednesday and made comments during a news conference that seemed to suggest communications involving former Trojan Reggie Bush, who is now with the New Orleans Saints.
Former players are forbidden from telephoning prospective recruits, their relatives or guardians.
"We're aware of it, and we are looking into it," sports information director Tim Tessalone told The Associated Press late Thursday.

With their continued success both on the field and in the recruiting battles they can expect growing attention from the powers that be. If history has shown us anything, to the victor go the spoils, be it good or bad. Sadly it would seem that they can walk between the rain drops with the NCAA and the media pundits and it's really just a matter of time before someone starts poking around UF. There is of course already rumbling about Meyer but this is liklely nothing more than sour grapes.

the bigger deal, if this is true, is the fact that petey and bush telling this kid that there is no investigation going on is an outright lie.
