The Sanchez thing we'll have to wait to see how it plays out, at first the girl said she was assaulted between 12 and 12 30, when security video showed that Sanchez was in a bar til after 1 am and she wasnt anywhere to be seen, she changed her story.

Carroll: 'We needed to see this coming'

LOS ANGELES -- In the midst of multiple investigations of the USC football program, coach Pete Carroll told the Los Angeles Times that the program needs to work harder to control outside influences on its players.

"We needed to see this coming, and we didn't," Carroll was quoted saying in a column about the recent spate of trouble facing some of the team's current and former players. "It's gone beyond all the heads up, all the alerts, all the education we give these kids. We need to do more."

In the past week, questions have been raised about housing arrangements for the family of Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush, taken No. 2 overall by the New Orleans Saints in this weekend's NFL draft, and about whether an upscale apartment that wide receiver Dwayne Jarrett shared with former teammate Matt Leinart violated NCAA rules. Also, the unversity has indefinitely suspended backup quarterback Mark Sanchez, who is under investigation on allegations he sexually assualted a female student.

Speaking generally about the recent problems, Carroll told the Times he needs to better educate his players about outside influences, especially now that USC has become a college football powerhouse -- and a target.

"Our guys are marked guys, they have had success and there's people trying to get in on that, and we need to do a better job of making them understand the problems there," he told the Times. "We have moved into very different territory now, all the hype, all the distractions, all the people who want to influence us, and we will be more aware of that. We will work harder to control that."


Leinart's father, Bob, put the duo on the lease at the secured apartment complex downtown after Leinart moved out of his former residence near campus because he was constantly hounded by fans.

Leinart -- the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback picked 10th by the Arizona Cardinals in Saturday's NFL draft -- and Jarrett each paid $650 a month for the apartment that cost $3,866 a month, according to the Times. Leinart's father paid the difference and said he's been told Jarrett might have to repay him about $10,000, the newspaper reported.

University compliance officials are looking into whether the football program received an unfair advantage. While Bob Leinart would have been allowed to make up the difference for his son, he might not have been allowed to do so for another player.

Tim Tessalone, USC's director of sports information, confirmed Sunday that an investigation involving Jarrett's living arrangement was under way.

"At this point, we're still gathering information," Tessalone told The Associated Press, declining further comment.

Meanwhile, the Pacific-10 Conference is looking into the living arrangement of Bush's family, who lived in a house owned by a man who reportedly sought to market him while he played for USC last season. NCAA rules prohibit student-athletes and their families from receiving extra benefits from agents or their representatives.

You don't think Reggie Bush represents USC? Man, you are in denial...

I don't think you understand. The person who gives the money doesn't have to be a representative of the school. It's the person who takes the money. Step father or not, if anyone from the Bush family accepts money from an individual, and that money has to do with Reggie, it puts Reggie, and USC, directly in the cross hairs.

I don't understand how they can make that rule and then turn around and say that its okay for teams that go to bowl games to allow the sponsors to shower the same athletes with sometimes thousands of dollars worth of gifts. If you think about it there are a lot of people that put on a football game but only the players get the booty.

At least with Bloom the argument could be made that his endorsement deals truly were not influenced by his football notoriety. With Zbikowski, it's completely a question of not how well the bear dances but that he does at all.
