$C Sanctions: 2-Year Bowl Ban, Loss of 20 Scholies

[longtimebooster]

How does this affect SDSU? Do more kids stay home? Do we have a shot at some guys who otherwise wouldn't have looked at us? Or do those guys simply go to Cal, Oregon, Zona instead?

Discuss.

The penalties come after a four-year investigation into allegations surrounding Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush and former basketball star O.J. Mayo. The Trojans will lose more than 20 scholarships in football.




A two-year bowl ban and a loss of more than 20 football scholarships are among the sanctions that the NCAA has dealt USC, a source with knowledge of the situation said Wednesday.

The NCAA, the governing body for collegiate sports, informed USC of its decision after a four-year investigation regarding allegations centered on former football player Reggie Bush and former basketball player O.J. Mayo. The NCAA could make its decision public as early as today.

USC officials would not confirm that the school had received the NCAA's report.

If a kids want to go PAC-10 then he's going to go PAC-10 even if it's not SC.

If we can continue to improve and show that we can play some ball then we should have a shot at some that want to stay in/play in socal.

It Doesn't affect SDSU at all. The PAC 10 is going to 16 so the recruits have 15 other schools to look at before SDSU. The coming expansion just screwed SDSU big time.

When you look at the PAC-10 as a whole you see they have 20 less scholarships. That is 20 players who would have gone to the PAC-10 but will go elsewhere.

When the stud QB leaves high school, one may not get his girlfriend but they may get the girlfriend of the guy who gets his girlfriend. Unless of course she dates a college guy (leaves for the NFL )

This helps UCLA not so much SDSU

According to CFT, its now 30 scholarships!

They are screwed.

It will help SDSU because some of those will go to other PAC ten members and their is only so many schollies. So MWC schools will have a chance at some of the lower rankings guys the PAC ten gets.
This will help UCLA,Washington,and cal most. WE are bound to pick up few players we would not.

It is actually a loss of 30 scholarships. 10 per year for 3 years. That is ALOT of scholarships losses. And with tuition at USC at over 35K per year it makes walking on very difficult.

Reggie keeps the Heisman??

He is ruled ineligible for the end of his soph. season and the entirety of his jr. That would mean all his stats from the jr season is discounted, thus revoking his Heisman.

Probably eventually, but since the Heisman is an award given by a private group, they decide whether or not he gets to keep it.

Also, apparently SC was real close to getting a TV ban, but just got away without one. That would have KILLED them big time.

It is a beautiful day.

I wonder if Pete Carrol saw the writing on the wall?

[myk13]

after the appeal I see the bowl ban down to 1 year and scholarships around the 15-20 mark.

I don't know. It's a long time ago, but Ike Curtis played his senior year here because Cal got slapped with probation.

We will only benefit very marginally in that the 10 scholly players that would have gone to SC will now go to other Pac XX schools -- which could very well include Colorado, Texas, Tech, A&M etc as they will gain more of an appeal to socal recruits. So some of those programs lesser would-be recruits will trickle down to our level and we might end up with some "3*" type of guys that would be riding the bench on BCS teams.

This might help us in terms of kids who are right now slated to go to USC. They are going to have some defections, and the rule in the in the Pac-10 is you have to sit two years (like every other conference). What hurts even more is if the Pac-10 goes to 16 teams, that adds 6 more teams those guys can't transfer too. So where do they go? We are bound to pick up a few defections

Yeah, I mostly agree. I hate $C, and love that they're getting knocked down a peg. I also never imagined the NCAA would actually punish them other than with maybe a wrist slap.

But it kind of sucks that it's because of a fellow Helix alum.
