USC sanctions

[SGMVols]

how many recruites do you think will decommit

A 1-year bowl ban isn't going to cause anyone to decommit, and since USC doesn't typically use all 85 scholarships anyway, losing 4 or 5 each year for 3 or 4 years isn't likely to force any elite prospects out.

Now if the scholarship losses are more severe or there is a multi-year bowl ban, that would almost certainly change things.

you know, I personally don't see why we even bother to keep up with USC's doings. Just in case anybody hasn't noticed yet, he's not our coach anymore.

Which is why this is in the NCAA Forum; or are we not to discuss NCAA Sports? :crazy:

lol im not saying that, i'm saying why even bother?

 

[BigSteve09]

they'll slither out of it

Because this is relevant to NCAA football. I just get to laugh harder after the Kiffin thing, but regardless, I hated USC before and glad to see some sanctions (just wish it were more.)

It would be a topic of discussion even if Kiffin were still in Knoxville.

I hope they get hit so hard they change the uni's to pink and purple.

Now back to the Vols do you think this might help land some 2011 recruits?

Seriously? You relate SC sanctions to a possible bump in UT recruits?

i hope the sactions involve coach o fighting a bear

I'm hoping they make him sing "In the air tonight" in front of Mike Tyson.

USC has been hit with a two-year post-season ban in addition to the loss of scholarships, among other penalties from the NCAA.

is Feldman reputable?

 

[chavisut]

is Feldman reputable?

He's a lead writer for ESPN and was the author of Meat Market, a book this board was creaming itself over last year.

 

[FlyingCow]

is Feldman reputable?

I would say he's very much so.

 

[hatvol96]

If accurate, I'd say that ensures an SC appeal.

They will probably just hand the NCAA a briefcase and all will be well.

If he's reporting it, you can be certain he's spoken with someone who should know the details of the sanctions.

Depends on what their findings are. If they have what they deem to be sufficient evidence Todd McNair knew about Bush's parents and their living arrangement, the appeal won't do much good.

The bottom ticker on ESPN also mentioned forfeiture of 2004 wins.

 

[jcolli30]

When is the last time a school has won an appeal?

kinda left field hat, but do you have care one way or another what the sanctions are? let me correct, do you hope for harsh penalties or laxed penalties? lets leave justice out of this question.
