Well the sad state of affairs in Trojan Land has finally been made public. The chickens have come home to roost but unfortunately the bad chickens have flown the coop. Those punished of course are the fans, the current roster of student-athletics and the current coaching staff. Reggie Bush, Pete Carroll, the two slug-type wannabe sports agents, the Bush family, and a bunch of greedy intermediaries all got off Scott Free.
“LOS ANGELES -- The NCAA threw the book at storied Southern California on Thursday with a two-year bowl ban, four years' probation, loss of scholarships and forfeits of an entire year's games for improper benefits to Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush dating to the Trojans' 2004 national championship.
USC was penalized for a lack of institutional control in the ruling by the NCAA following its four-year investigation. The report cited numerous improper benefits for Bush and former basketball player O.J. Mayo, who spent just one year with the Trojans.
The penalties include the loss of 30 football scholarships over three years and vacating 14 victories in which Bush played from December 2004 through the 2005 season.
USC beat Oklahoma in the BCS title game on Jan. 4, 2005, and won 12 games during Bush's Heisman-winning 2005 season, which ended with a loss to Texas in the 2006 BCS title game.”
So what does it mean?
Our worst nightmare never happened!
The 2005 Bush-Push!!
God Bless the NCAA!
