USC Faces Probation In Football, Report Says

by CaptStu on Jan 15, 2010 9:20 AM CST

It appears the USC football program is about to face the end result of their NCAA investigation -- Probation.

From The LA Times via The NY Times:

The National Collegiate Athletic Association is expected to impose a three-year football probation on the University of Southern California that would include a two-year ban on bowl and television appearances, The Los Angeles Times reported in its Sunday issue.

The university's president, James Zumberge, has received a report from the N.C.A.A. Infractions Committee detailing what sanctions will be imposed as a result of its investigation of the Trojans' football program, the newspaper reported. It attributed the information to a ''reliable source.''

What? No loss of scholarships?

If it's a 3 year ban

and 2 years of post season/TV, then what would the third year be if not scholarships?

I’m pretty sure that the article intended for scholarship reductions to be assumed. The real shocker is the TV ban. Wow. That’s hitting them where it hurts for sure! ……………………………………….

uh……………………………….

Damn Bobby. Nice catch lol. wtf CaptStu.

What you're seeing is team spirit. It's like the Holy Spirit, but more powerful.

Probation is its own thing, separate and apart from bowl bans and scholarship limits. They are not related at all.

I'm wrong all the time.

I know. I know.

It was at the top of the Rocky Top Talk site. My assumptions of it being recent news were incorrect. My bad.

Just went on the NYT website

and can’t find the article at all. I think the RTT guys got taken, the linked article even lists the old AD, it’s Mike Garrett now.

It was the leading piece above the Lance Thompson article. Oh well.

Fake article

Nothing is going to happen to USC- NOTHING

I hate the NCAA more than UT & AU combined. At least with UT & AU you got a fighting chance.
