More trouble for USC?

Already on probation...this one could leave marks....

[Carson]

Don't people understand?

Any contact from glorious U$C is a gift not to be foresaken.

Players should be paying them...

[Van]

This one is merely a rehashing of something the NCAA already investigated and dropped a couple of years ago. Haden is bending over backwards to cooperate with them, so I highly doubt anything will come of it. Besides, what are they going to do, vacate USC's glorious Emerald Bowl win for which McKnight was suspended anyway?

There's also this: http://espn.go.com/los-angeles/ncf/stor ... painkiller

Oh, and there's that little bit about Laney Kitten not allowing opponents to do Friday walk-throughs at the Mausoleum.

Guess Van wants to focus on ND stories to distract attention.

[Van]

The Armstead deal is also nothing, and I'm sure you know that.

Otherwise, USC is ranked #1 in the country. I don't really need to distract attention from them.

[M2]

USC owns the stadium now

I think I may have mentioned this before....


.... you're a fucking idiot.

Is there any substance to this, or not? Maybe we get Silas to come home? Should a rich booster get the lear jet warmed up?

If you apply the Schmick rule, USC never should have been allowed to get him in the first place. I guess his remaining options were Pitt and Temple.

He probably wouldn't qualify academically at Alabama.

The Armstead deal is also nothing, and I'm sure you know that.

The lawyer in me thinks that a lawsuit might be stronger against the manufacturer of the painkiller and/or the federal government, due to failure to warn. But I don't know all the facts about the case.

The merits of the lawsuit notwithstanding, though, this can't exactly be good publicity for USC when it comes to recruiting. Ordinarily, a heart attack within the next 4-5 years is probably damn near the last thing on the mind of a 17-18 year old kid. The Armstead case puts it front and center, however.

And while it could have happened just about anywhere, it DID happen at USC. So there is that.

[Van]

It's just a frivolous lawsuit from a kid going for a cash grab when his dreams of an NFL career didn't pan out. It's a nonstory that won't affect recruiting at all. We're talking about USC here. They have the #1 ranked 2013 class.

[Left Seater]

Since when were schools allowed to sign football player early? signing day is still a season away. look no further than Kal at how many kids change their mind.

[Van]

USC isn't Cal.

Dude wasnt from Pennsylvania

At that point, he was attending school in Pennsylvania. If you want to look at his home state, then his only option was UConn.
