Van,

If any major program, ANY, was getting away with shit like this I would have a problem with it because they would be reaping the benefits of it as $C is right now. Tennessee, FSU, Miami, OU, t.u., Bama. I don't care. $C just happens to be the one getting away with it.

You say I spout off unsubstantiated comments as fact. Fact is the Bush family was getting the house. Fact is that is against the rules. The FACT that the NCAA has not officially commented good or bad on this FACT speaks volumes. If they are going to let it go, say you found nothing wrong. If you are going to punish them, punish them. The hide and hope people forget tactic isn't working.

The allegations that have been levied against $C players merit an NCAA response because many schools out there will take this non-action as permission to follow suit.

hundreds of thousands of dollars according to who? some crack head who said he gave the Griffens 300k yet never earned more that 20k a year on any W2? yeah, ill believe that when my shit turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbert.
Let the acuser show where he earned the 300k before you can even assume he gave that 300k away

Indy, exactly what "benefits" did USC football receive from those alleged transgressions?

Reggie was essentially poached from the program. USC didn't benefit at all from what that agent allegedly did. Reggie was already there, in the program. It wasn't like USC committed a recruiting violation to land him. It's not like they helped him through school by forging test scores or letting him skate on his academic requirements.

He was already there. What he's accused of didn't help USC. It only stood a chance of hurting USC.

Dwayne Jarrett's deal? Please. Whether or not he stayed at Leinart's place was not a make or break deal regarding his ability to suit up for USC. That was a kid enjoying his buddy's nicer pad. Again, USC didn't benefit squat from that.

Those are your two allegations. Neither of them benefitted USC and one of 'em has already been settled to the NCAA's satisfaction while the other hasn't amounted to a hill of beans yet, and we're now four years down the road.

That's your LOIC? Those two things? You're going to need a whole lot more than that, and it's going to need to be substantiated.

not spotless, just nowhere near responsible for Bush's stepfather allegdly taking money to get reggie to "leave" USC.

There is a huge difference between boosters giving players money to go to and play at a school and agent wannabes giving players money to get them to leave the school, that is all that I have ever tried to maintain in that situation.
You cant treat USC the same in the Bush case,even if it was true, as you can treat Olahoma for the Big Red Motors where a booster was paying players to play for Oklahoma, Alabama for the Lyn Lang/Albert Means deal where the High School coach was paid to get the player to go to Alabama or Notre Dame and Kim Dunbar who gave players at Notre dame 1.2 million dollars to play for the Irish and do all their homework for them or Auburn and the English Department head somehow giving all the players As in classes they never attended. USC did not benfit from the alleged money that the convicted felon said he gave Lamar Griffen the Summer before Reggies Junior Year, in fact you can argue that USC was punished by the loss of reggie for his Senior season.
