Junior tailback McKnight, the Trojans' leading rusher, has been driving an SUV owned by a Santa Monica businessman, a possible violation of NCAA rules.

I'm sure the NCAA will forget about this soon enough

 

[rgw]

Nothing to see here, not a Big-XII or SEC school, will shortly be swept under the rug.

Now if it was a Big-XII or SEC school: death penalty incoming.

If the Reggie B incident hasn't been investigated/ prosecuted; then US$ will once again skate. So; what else is new? The NCAA is a joke!

RTR!!!!

I'm sure USCw will simply refuse to talk to any ncaa investigators and that will be all of that. Maybe McKnight wishes he had played in the SEC, he realizes his mistake and doesn't care at this point because the NFL is prolly his next stop.

Add this to the long list of "issues" that the NZAA will ignore.

 

[Aledinho]

I wonder if they will have to forfeit every game that McKnight played.

It would lead off every ESPN broadcast if it were us that they were looking at. I do not understand how these guys are NEVER punished for any of these things. Most people know that the NCAA is garbage (they seem to lose credibility weekly) but come on! Look at the coverage @ hostesses at UT- they are all over it. These infractions- or i should say "alleged" infractions- are very serious concerning the Trojans but NOTHING. ZERO. Their bball team is in trouble too, what happened with that!? RIDICULOUS how the system works.

I actually heard about this on ESPN2 first, prompting my Google News search for a link.

I assume that they will investigate this with the same tenacity and vigor that they investigated Reggie Bush.

 

[Probius]

Oh come now, U$C would never do a single thing wrong. For shame on y'all for thinking badly about those wonderful saints.

 

[TIDE-HSV]

Lucky thing for him that he got a car instead of textbooks...

 

[rgw]

yeah, because then they'd have to forfeit wins and go on probation. This is something relatively minor, I mean how much do Escalades go these days? Definitely not in the range of a few textbooks.

 

[bamaslammer]

His answers to questions sound like he's either stupid, or being very evasive. I'm guessing its the latter.

 

[gmart74]

why do they even bother.....

 

[bama backer]

"It's my baby's mamas bosses car". Right!!!! Roll Tide!:BigA:

 

[UAB-CT]

Everyone will still be talking about this one just like the investigation for the last 3 to 4 years and not hear anything else. What does it matter anymore.

 

[ecra-joe]

if im pete carrol i keep my mouth shut and see just how far i can push the envelope. theres always rumors of him wanting to get back in the nfl. so why not just go all out and see just how many 5 stars i can get. the ncaa cant touch me. its already easy to recruit to uscw. hey why not start paying players, letting booster hang around, having an approved agent pool. go crazy. as long as everyone keeps their mouth shut youre golden. have a hostess swimsuit competition judged by recruits. weekend girlfriends. heck put em in a movie. its la afterall

No extra benefit to any student athlete or member of their family. I'm pretty sure their son qualifies as a member of Joe McKnight's family and not sure of California law but the mother could be or become his common law wife if they live together.

Joe McKnight is also the guy who changed his story about talking with Reggie Bush in Pete Carrol's office during recruitment.
