I would be shocked if the NCAA ever actually used the Death Penalty again. It's taken SMU off the map for over 20 years, and I don't know that the NCAA thought that's what would result. The idea of killing USC football for 2 years seems "bad for business" The idea of killing it for 20 plus years seems even more so.
Now, that doesn't mean that if they're committing infractions they should slide. That's certainly not my opinion. I'm just saying I would seriously doubt a 100,000 pound shit hammer is about to drop, though I would think it's possible that Carroll's move to Seattle is indicative that there is more than just smoke....
That said, I also think it's entirely possible that Carroll wants to go to the NFL to show he can get it done there (redeem his performance in New England). I can't say I know what makes Carroll tick... and he's always seemed to me to be a pretty relaxed "go with the flow" sort of fella. But, you don't get to his position without drive and goals, so... I don't know.. I'm just saying he might just feel like proving himself at the next level is something he's "got" to do, despite being the king of LA, and could have little or nothing to do with the NCAA investigation.
