I voted no, carroll seemed real confident talking about it on the radio, but all that smoke, do ya'll think the fact they are the current media darling will keep the ncaa from putting them on probation if they did in fact break the rules? I'd like to think not, but what do ya'll think?

I also voted no. I think that the ncaa will not go after a "golden child". I really would like to see some type of fairness and equality in the punishment handed down by the ncaa. I might be cynical, but I don't think the terms fair and equal are in the ncaa's vocabulary.

I also think that if this were a southern school (not southern California) the ncaa's would be camped out on their campus as I type.
 
I voted YES because I don't think they will but I've been wrong about so many other things... Or did I just cancel out my opposite approach by going the opposite way on purpose?

I think the same way. Everytime one of the NZAA chosen ones gets in trouble Alabama gets their penalties. ND only lost 2 scholarships in the Las Vegas mess and it amount to 234.000 dollars. The lady in question went to jail for embezzlement of company funds but she wasn't concider a booster. Two years after the 2 scholarship reduction she told 20/20 she and others had given players as much as 325.000 dollars in gifts, trips to Las Vegas. How the hell the NZAA can do what they did to Alabama is rediculious. The Fab 5 incident was said to be 660,000 dollars and the booster admitted it. Michigan was given back some scholarships plus allowed to be on TV a year early. WHY! Mark Tomms of Columbus Ohio told the story in different light. The booster rogered up on the NZAA amount. Juan Howard laugh when ask about that amount. He said it was more like 1.6 million. Nuff Said. The NZAA has its favorites but they look like damn fools in the process. :BigA:

Word. I have said as much. The two incidents you rereferenced prove that USC hasnt a thing to worry about. The chances of them getting hit with a major violation is about the same as CNN bashing hillary. Forget it. I would add the Tee Martin incident as well. You rememberm, Kramer and fulmer went to Mobile and checked it out. There was nothing there.. of course. Where did kramer graduate from? Hummm

Blake,

You are correct in that sense. But I feel the NCAA has to do it because of the example they made of Alabama without any of the paper trails and people involved. Again you may be right and the NZAA is completely out in left field. I certainly hope not. :BigA:
 
i think that usc will get away scott free. the ncaa acted to harshly against alabama and their scared of more law suits
 
If they don't, an expose' of the NCAA and it's complete ineptness needs to be made public in every newspaper in the country, and I'd chip in to place a couple of the ads myself. They should be considered just as much of a public figure as Nick Saban, and there's dang sure more evidence that USC stinks than there was that CNS made the bottlecap remarks. I don't see any way they could sue anyone for slander/defamation if there is a basis in truth to the allegations. I personally hope the NCAA's time under the current structure is about to crash and burn, and a more benevolent system put in it's place to limit the amount of political spinning for the CHOSEN teams that can be injected into investigations as it exists today.

I read on some other board that they are alreay on probation for a prior incident maybe in another sport?

QUOTE]

I went to the ncaa web site (and before y'all ask, I did shower afterwards and I pray nothing stuck) and couldn't find anything on them being on probation. If you could would you post the other boards site, and if you can't (I don't know the rules about posting other boards sites), then email me or private message.

Thanks

it's so long ago now that i forget his name, but back in the 90's there was a b-ball player at duke (i think his name was davis, but could be wrong). it came out that he was ineligible because of phony transferred grades or something like that. from all accounts, he and duke were guilty as sin. the ncaa "investigated" it for several years and then pronounced that their "investigation" had taken so long that the ncaa's madeup statute of limitations placed the wrongdoing outside the ncaa's own ability to do anything about it...or something else along those lines of absurdity.

anyone else remember anything about this?

admittedly, my memory on it is hazy, but i remember at the time thinking it was about one of the most ridiculous applications of circular logic and favoritism i'd ever seen.
 
i have not heard all the USC allegations but what I have heard does not even compare to the Bama infractions.

Not even close - I don't think they should get in any real trouble unless I have missed some news
