[indyfrisco]

I read that article earlier and laughed. Dude makes a booty (phone) call. She doesn't answer so he goes to her house. She sends him home with blue balls, and he texts her that it is "time to die".

If he's smart, he has an out. He could say his "time to die" comment was in reference to the fact he was going to commit suicide and that he was depressed after his concussion in that week's game. Use of Penn player for reference:

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=5569329

Then again, he's probably just a dumbass jock, and his attorney will have to concoct that lie.

[King Crimson]

aggravated stalking...that has a nice ring to it.

[SoCalTrjn]

wasn't CUM just preaching to this team about how to respect women, it will be interesting to see how he handles this, with a college aged daughter and all. Maybe the kid will sit the first quarter of the Appalachin State game. Why doesnt espn come down on the Gaytors, what is this 40 arrests in 4 years? is that a lack of institutional control? and in a town like Gainesville where the newspapers and police are controlled by the schools athletic department.
This is the same player that was texting and tweeting during his recruitment how much money Florida boosters were paying him and that he received thousands of dollars for beating Noel Devine in a race.
The worst part about this incident is the girl is more affraid of retribution from Gaytor fans than anything else

[SoCalTrjn]

Are you kidding?
USC ranks in the top 25 in National Universities http://colleges.usnews.rankingsandrevie ... s-rankings Florida isnt even in the top 50 and are behind most of the schools in the UC (public) system.
USC has won more NCAA National titles in Mens sports than any other University and are only second to UCLA in total National Titles because of all the titles UCLAs women have won. Florida has not won one tenth the National Titles that USC has.
Florida may have a better football team than USC does this year but to say it is a better school than USC is just plain stupid, even for you.
In the 9 years Carroll was at USC there were 4 players arrested, in Meyers 4+ years at Florida, its been 40 players arrested, its about time the NCAA redefines Lack of Institutional Control

[Laxplayer]

In the 9 years Carroll was at USC there were 4 players arrested,

Here's a little synopsis of what happened once Petey took over at $UC......According to Toejam it's all heresay and bullshit........

Pete Carroll was hired as head football coach by USC in 2001.
On August 23, 2001, the NCAA placed USC's athletic department on probation
for two years and cut scholarships because tutors wrote papers for three
athletes in the late 1990s. The events leading to the probation were before
Carroll's time, but I include this for completeness sake.

In 2002, the father of USC tailback Justin Fargas invited former USC Heisman
Trophy winner, and alleged double-murderer, O. J. Simpson to a team practice
(he was found not guilty in his criminal trial but was later found liable in
a civil trial). After the practice, Carroll allowed Simpson to come onto the
field and meet the players and pose for pictures. Carroll defends himself
from criticism by claiming that Simpson wasn't invited. In May 2008,
Simpson's ex manager alleged that Simpson admitted to killing Nicole Brown
Simpson.

On July 19, 2003, USC Sophomore OT Winston Justice pleaded no contest to
solicitation of a prostitute in Long Beach on June 24. Winston was put on 3
years probation and fined $300 for the offense.

On March 3, 2004, Winston Justice was arrested on suspicion of felony
assault with a deadly weapon. On June 15, 2004, Justice pleaded no contest
to exhibition of a replica firearm. Justice was sentenced to 60 days of
electronic monitoring and three years' probation. Justice was also suspended
for two semesters by USC's student affairs committee after his arrest.

In August 2004, USC starting tailback Hershel Dennis was at the center of a
police investigation of an alleged sexual assault. According to sources, the
incident took place at a party on August 16, and involved a female friend of
Dennis. On August 17, Dennis was removed from practice and suspended by
Carroll for "disciplinary reasons," including breaking curfew. On December
13, 2004, the LAPD announced it would not press charges.

On January 14, 2005, Tim Floyd was hired as head basketball coach by USC.

In late March 2005, USC starting cornerback Eric Wright was arrested for
investigation of sexual assault. Wright was booked on rape charges and bail
was set at $100,000 according to the Sheriff's Department. Wright was held
out of spring practice, and, in April 2005, the district attorney declined
to press charged because of insufficient evidence. Nevertheless, on June 2,
2005, Wright left USC amid possible disciplinary action. On August 25,
Wright was suspended by three semesters by USC's student affairs committee,
based upon the district attorney's office having found 136 pills of the drug
Ecstasy in Wright's room at an apartment he shared with another player.
In early

April 2005, USC tight end Dominique Bird fractured his jaw during an alleged
altercation with receiver Steve Smith. Bird, Smith and Carroll reportedly
refused to comment on the incident, and no disciplinary action was taken.

In August 2005, USC defensive end Frostee Rucker allegedly got into a fight
with his girlfriend at a party he was hosting in Los Angeles. In June 2006,
Rucker was charged with two misdemeanor counts of spousal battery and two
counts of vandalism and was scheduled to be arraigned on August 11, 2006.
Despite the incident, Rucker did not face any discipline from USC, and
didn't miss a game. In May 2007, Rucker pleaded guilty to false imprisonment
and vandalism charges stemming from the 2005 incident. As part of a plea
agreement, the prosecutors dropped a charge of spousal battery and Rucker
was sentenced to three years of probation. Prior to transferring to USC, in
April of 2002, Rucker was charged in Colorado with sexual assault and
indecent exposure. Rucker reportedly eventually accepted a one-year deferred
sentence on a misdemeanor harassment charge.

On August 13, 2005, 10 veteran USC players were involved in a hazing
incident where they shaved the head of freshman quarterback Mark Sanchez.
Also, what started out as a water fight between USC players, escalated into
an all-out brawl as it spiraled out of control. Reportedly, there was
significant damage to the players dorms as players were thrown through
walls.

On October 31, 2005, USC tailback LenDale White played a macabre prank by
pretending to quit the team and throwing a dummy off a building on Child's
Way. Separately, Pete Carroll apologized to Washington State coach Bill Doba
for USC players pushing and bumping Doba while trying to get to the locker
room during halftime of their game.

On November 2, 2005, USC linebacker Rey Maualuga was arrested for
investigation of misdemeanor battery after punching a man at an off-campus
Halloween party (twice, without provocation). A witness at the scene
reportedly quoted Maualuga as stating "I own the police." Carroll took no
disciplinary action, and Maualuga played the following weekend against
Stanford. One USC pundit observed at the time that "discipline is Coach
Carroll's number one weakness." On November 22, 2005, the city attorney's
office declined to file charges. Maualuga was defended at the court hearing
by controversial and well-connected USC alumni attorney Carmen "Nooch"
Trutanich, who has a long history with USC and previously represented both
Wright and Dennis.

On December 21, 2005, USC starting quarterback Matt Leinart had his
eligibility temporarily revoked after appearing in a promotional segment on
ESPN earlier that month, a violation of an NCAA rule. Leinart was reinstated
shortly thereafter. One observer claims the NCAA was just concerned about
money.

On January 1, 2006, reporters from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and CBS
Sportline reportedly told the USC football team about potential recruiting
violations stemming from visits by USC recruits to Papadakis Taverna, a
Greek restaurant owned by former USC linebacker John Papadakis. As of July
2007, the investigation by USC compliance officials continued.

On January 21, 2006, USC quarterback Matt Leinart was cited by the Pac-10
for working out with his own coach using school facilities. According to the
NCAA, a student athlete cannot utilize the school's facilities to work out
with a coach, unless the coach is affiliated with the university.

On April 21, 2006, the family of USC running back Reggie Bush was implicated
by numerous separate media reports as having lived in a house purchased by a
San Diego-area man with ties to a sports agent and a tribal casino. Both the
Pac-10 and the NCAA have launched an investigation into potential NCAA
violations in connnection with this matter, which is pending. More recent
reports in this fast evolving story are here, here, and here. Yahoo Sports,
which is responsible for much of the investigative reporting on this issue,
has set up a page dedicated to its eight-month probe here.

On April 26, 2006, USC quarterback Mark Sanchez was arrested for
investigation of sexually assaulting a female student earlier that same day.
Sanchez was released upon posting $200,000 bail, and was ordered to appear
in court on May 17, 2006. Sanchez was also placed on "interim suspension" by
USC while the case was pending. On June 2, 2006, the LA District Attorney
announced that it would not be bring charges against Sanchez due to
insufficient evidence.

On April 30, 2006, it was reported that USC compliance officials were
investigating whether an NCAA rule was violated because receiver Dwayne
Jarrett failed to pay approximately $10,000 for his half of the rent for an
upscale apartment he shared with former quarterback Matt Leinart. USC claims
that no rules were violated, though it was initially reported that Jarret
may have to sit out a portion of the 2006-07 season. Jarrett ultimately
avoided punishment and was the 45th pick in the 2007 NFL draft. After a
disappointing season, Jarrett was arrested on March 11, 2008 and charged
with driving under the influence.

In August of 2006, USC defensive back Brandon Ting quit the football team
after reportedly testing postive for steroid use. His twin brother, Ryan,
also a defensive back on the USC football team, quit the team just days
later, claiming that he wanted to concentrate on preparing for medical
school, and was never tested. Interestingly, Arthur Ting, father of the
twins, is a Bay Area orthopedic surgeon who has reportedly appeared as a
witness before a grand jury considering possible perjury charges against
baseball's Barry Bonds, one of Arthur's clients. This incident finally
triggered some real interest by the LA Times.

On August 29, 2006, it was announced that former USC quarterback Matt
Leinart would be having a child out of wedlock with USC basketball player
Brynn Cameron. While not improper in any meaningful way outside of his
personal life, this event begins a long list of embarrassing incidents
involving the former USC star (not to mention other USC quarterbacks).

On October 16, 2006, it was announced that then 14-year-old high school
freshman Dwayne Polee Jr., who had yet to even play a game at Westchester
high, had verbally committed to USC's basketball team. Though not improper,
the early commitment was unconventional, and was repeated in June 2007 when
USC announced the verbal commitment of 14-year-old middle school player Ryan
Boatright, who, at the time, had not yet even decided upon where he was
going to high school. Further eyebrows were raised in June 2007, when USC
hired Dwayne Polee Sr., father of Dwayne Polee Jr., as Director of
Basketball Operations, amid charges of nepotism.

On December 4, 2006, former USC stand-out, and former Rams rookie, tight end
Dominique Byrd was arrested for allegedly hitting a bar patron in the face
with a drinking glass. Byrd was charged with second- and third-degree
assault and armed criminal action. He was released shortly after posting a
$25,000 bond. In early May, 2008, Byrd was scheduled to go to trial in St.
Louis Circuit Court on felony charges of assault and armed criminal action
stemming from the nightclub scuffle in December 2006. In March 2007, he was
charged with DUI in California. In October 2007, he pleaded no contest to
the DUI charge and received three years' probation. In May 2008, Byrd was
released by the Rams.

In January 2007, a federal investigation into extortion claims by former USC
running back Reggie Bush and his family revealed the existence of taped
converstations that could confirm Bush took cash and gifts while he was
playing football for USC. It was also reported that nearly $280,000 in cash,
rent and gifts were allegedly given to Bush and his family. The information
came to light following the issuance of grand jury subpoenas to multiple
witness by the U.S. District Attorney's office in San Diego. Both the NCAA
and Pac-10 continue to investigate. Also, more recent articles suggest that
Reggie Bush was involved earlier and more deeply than previously reported in
efforts to create the sports marketing agency at the center of the
continuing controversy. The investigation has, to date, yielded no
definitive proof that USC officials had knowledge of Bush's misconduct,
though Bush was nevertheless asked not to attend the Trojans' Rose Bowl
matchup against Michigan on New Year's Day.

On February 2, 2007, it was reported that a "stampede of student athletes,"
including three USC linemen, ex-USC receiver Keary Colbert, and members of
the USC women's basketball, volleyball and water polo teams, had improperly
attempted to take an academic shortcut around the university's foreign
language requirement by signing up for a course at Los Angeles Trade Tech
College taught by USC graduate Senora Ross, who promised to give the
athletes no lower than a "B." Upon discovering the situation, USC officials
disallowed the transfer of credits from Trade Tech.

On February 8, 2007, it was reported that USC football players had created
and joined a racist Facebook group as a "joke." The racist Facebook group
was called "White Nation," showed a graphic of a swastika and black baby in
handcuffs with the caption "arrest black babies before they become
criminals." The group was created by USC linebacker Clay Matthews and was
joined by teammates David Buehler, Brian Cushing, Dan Deckas and Dallas
Sartz. Coach Pete Carroll responded to reports of the incident by saying he
had no plans to discipline the players, and USC later announced that none of
the players would be punished. According to Carroll, "t's not a
controversy, it's a mistake."

On February 9, 2007, USC compliance officials announced they were
investigating whether an NCAA violation occurred during the Trojans' pursuit
of Louisiana prep star running back Joe McKnight. The investigation followed
reports that McKnight had told reporters that USC coach Pete Carroll had set
up a conference call so he and high school coach J.T. Curtis could be
assured by ex-Trojan running back Reggie Bush would not be punished for a
separate NCAA investigation into improper benefits allegedly taken by Bush.
Carroll later denied that any call took place, and Curtis said that McKnight
misspoke. According to NCAA officials, if USC got Bush's help in recruiting
McKnight, it would be considered a "secondary violation" of recruiting
rules.

On March 9, 2007, USC basketball recruit O.J. Mayo was arrested for
misdemeanor marijuana possession in Huntington, West Virginia. Mayo was one
of four young males found in a suspicious vehicle by a Cabell County
Sheriff's drug task force unit assigned to serve a search warrant at a house
nearby. The charges against Mayo were later dismissed by a magistrate judge,
after the driver of the vehicle pleaded guilty to the charge (though Mayo's
father subsequently had his own difficulties). The incident followed a
controversy in January following Mayo's two (some sources say three) game
suspension after receiving two technical fouls in a high school game and
coming into contact with an official, as well as prior reports of three
suspensions by his high school, the last one following an altercation with a
female student.

On April 14, 2007, it was announced that Percy Romeo Miller, also known as
Romeo (and formerly Lil' Romeo) had been offered a basketball scholarship to
USC. The scholarship offer, to a 5-foot-10 point guard with a bad knee who
had never played a full season of high-school basketball, was roundly
criticized by national commentators as a thinly veiled attempt by USC to
obtain the commitment of Miller's friend, prep star and NBA prospect Demar
DeRozan, while ignoring Miller's mediocre at best talent.

In the first week of August, 2007, there were new developments in the NCAA
investigation of former USC running back Reggie Bush, when it was reported
that audio recordings that allegedly establish an improper financial
relationship between Bush and a would-be sports marketing agent were played
for NCAA investigators. The tapes were revealed after Lloyd Lake, a partner
in failed sports marketing agency New Era Sports enterprise, filed a lawsuit
against Bush and his family, seeking to recoup nearly $300,000 in benefits
Lake claims he helped provide. Lake's allegations were further detailed in
January 2008, with the publication of Don Yaeger's book Tarnished Heisman,
which chronicled various allegations swirling around Bush's USC tenure,
including claims that Bush received $47,000 out of an overall $291,000that
went to his family from sports marketer Lake. That same month, published
reports contained Lake's (unsubstantiated) allegation that USC coaches knew
Bush was taking money in violation of NCAA rules.

On August 28, 2007, a contributor to Bruinsnation.com unearthed a report
from April 1996 that USC running backs coach Todd McNair was arrested and
charged with 81 offenses involving the mistreatment of 22 pit bulls being
trained on his property for dogfights while a running back for the Houston
Oilers. In light of recent press relating to NFL quarterback Michael Vick,
the report unleashed a firestorm, with numerous acts of alleged animal
cruelty being uncovered in McNair's past, including multiple misdemeanors
convictions (via plea bargain) regarding animal cruelty and failure to
license, and "all indications" that McNair was involved in dog flighting.
McNair, who was previously implicated in Reggie Bush scandal, having
allegedly known about Bush's involvement with the New Era venture before USC
national championship game against Texas, faced no discipline from USC.

On September 27, 2007, it was reported that USC sophomore point guard Daniel
Hackett would be sidelined at least six weeks after suffering multiple
fractures of his jaw when he was struck by the "elbow" of teammate O.J. Mayo
during a pickup game. Shortly thereafter, it was reported, based upon
several sources, including a member of the basketball team, that Mayo
punched Hackett during the game. The player was quoted as saying "Yeah, he
punched him," "They changed the story for the media." Despite later denials
by Floyd and others, this version of the events was confirmed on multiple
occasions.

On November 3, 2007, convicted felon Suge Knight was given a sideline pass
to a USC game. Knight joins O.J. Simpson and Snoop Dogg as USC's esteemed
guests.

In early November 2007, USC forward Davon Jefferson was suspended for the
team's embarrassing season-opening loss to Mercer. Jefferson, who required
two years to meet the NCAA's minimum academic requirements and was kicked
out of prep school before he joined USC, was also later benched for much of
a narrow loss at Stanford and also suspended for a loss to Washington State.
After clashing with Floyd, Jefferson did not even inform the school of his
decision to turn pro.

On January 21, 2008, USC freshman guard O.J. Mayo was alleged to have
violated NCAA rules by accepting complimentary tickets from Denver Nuggets
forward Carmelo Anthony to a Lakers-Nuggets game at Staples Center. Coach
Floyd subsequently took the blame, and Mayo was ultimately required to
donate the value of the tickets to charity.

On March 2, 2008, USC defensive tackle Fili Moala was arrested for resisting
and obstructing an officer after a melee at a Newport Beach bar was broken
up by police. Moala was released after posting $500 bail, and on March 13,
the Orange County district attorney's office declined to press charges.

On March 5, 2008, USC recruit Maurice Simmons was arrested for robbery in
Compton, after he allegedly pointed a handgun at a man and demanded his
belongings. Simmons, a linebacker from Dominguez High School, was initially
held at the Los Angeles County jail on $50,000 bail, and then released after
posting bail of $85,000. Simmons was arraigned on March 7, and his
preliminary hearing is scheduled for May 15, 2008. To date, USC has not
indicated whether or not it intends to honor its commitment to Simmons.
Developing.

On April 1, 2008, USC head coach Pete Carroll, in an attempt to make light
of the Trojan's extensive past history of criminality, invited members of
the LAPD to play a prank on defensive end Everson Griffen, who was said to
have "physically abused a freshman" and was threatened with arrest during a
team meeting.

On April 6, 2008, USC sophomore tailback Joe McKnight was held out of the
team's scrimmage and it was announced that he would miss the final week of
spring workouts because he was academically ineligible to participate.
McKnight had dropped a class, leaving him without the 12 units required for
eligibility.

On April 27, 2008, the NFL draft ended with USC guard Drew Radovich
remaining unselected. Expected by some to be a mid-to-late round pick,
Radovich's stock allegedly dropped based upon character concerns.
In late April or early May, 2008, a video was posted on Pete Carroll's
website starring his son, Brennan. The video, replete with profanity and
questionable behavior, was widely ridiculed, and was allegedly used against
USC in recruiting. In mid-May, the video was removed from youtube.com, with
Carroll explaining that it was just a "spoof."

On May 2, 2008, the judge in the civil litigation between former USC running
back Reggie Bush and Lloyd Lake ordered the parties to appear in June 2008
for their depositions, and denied Bush's attempts to impose a "gag order" to
prevent the deposition transcripts from being shared with the NCAA. The
judge also set a trial date of March 13, 2009.

On May 4, 2008, former USC tight end Fred Davis failed to attend the final
practice of the The Washington Redskins minicamp because he overslept after
a late night out. Besides giving a poor first impression, Davis confirmed
concerns about his commitment to football dating back to his time at USC.
Davis was suspended for two games his freshman year at USC for coming back
late from his home in Ohio, and missed the 2005 Orange Bowl.

On May 6, 2008, it was announced that USC's men's basketball team was the
only major athletic program in the Southland penalized with scholarship
losses as the result of a poor performance in the NCAA's academic progress
rate. The Trojans were penalized in part because Lodrick Stewart, Nick Young
and Gabe Pruitt stopped attending class after the 2007 season, and because
three players transferred within the same season. USC's APR score of 804 was
121 points below the minimum-acceptable mark, and stemmed from various
academic problems, including Gabe Pruitt's academic ineligibility for the
fall 2006 semester, and his ineligibility again following the spring 2007
semester. USC served the penalty during the 2007-08 season.

On May 13, 2008, ESPN aired an episode of Outside the Lines that contained
extensive, well-documented allegations that USC guard O.J. Mayo received
improper benefits from a sports agent (BDA Sports) and that agent's runner
(Rodney Guillory) both before and during his one season at USC. It was
alleged that Guillory received benefits in excess of $200,000, while Mayo
received $30,000 in benefits, including cash, clothes, cell phone service,
and a flat screen television for his dorm room. USC immediately faced a
storm of criticism, with several prominent commentator calling for
sanctions, including the so-called "death penalty." The criticism of USC
intensified as it was reported that Guillory was given largely unfettered
access to Mayo and the athletic department, after a highly unusual
recruitment process, despite USC knowing of his involvement with agents,
including a prior scandal with USC's Jeff Trepagnier, for many years. The
Pac-10 and the NCAA have launched investigations. Developing.

[SoCalTrjn]

where were the arrests.

OJ? yeah, Pete Carroll is responsible for OJ.

Winston Justice, prostitute and paint ball gun = 1 player Not quite the same as Florida players firing AK-47s but its 1 player being arrested.

Dennis was not arested, he was a witness due to a friendship with a girl who said she was accosted at a party, Hershell wasnt a suspect. Center of investigation= witness for the victim?

Eric Wright, busted for slinging x= 2 players. Wright was kicked out of the school and enrolled at UNLV

Byrd and Smith... no arrest, they were wrestling around and one got hurt.

Frostee Rucker = 3 players arrested.

Pete Carroll played the prank, he did the same thing a few years earlier with a fake UCLA scout that was watching practice from the top of the parking structure near Jones Field

Rey Maualuga punched a big mouthed frat kid after coming home from his fathers funeral = 4 players arrested. Is it ok to punch someone cause youre drunk and mourning the loss of your father, no, Rey was busted for it.

Sanchez was never arrested, he was questioned and when it was shown that he was in an LA night club, using a fake ID, during the time he was supposively at this girls apartment, the case was dropped.


4 players arrested in 9 years that Carroll was at USC compared to 40 players arrested in 4 years Meyer has been at Florida
and if you think all that other stuff isnt going on at every school in the nation, youre as big of a fool as willie is.

[PSUFAN]

aggravated stalking...that has a nice ring to it.

Haha, yeah, one for the resume.
