... in the LA Times' LTE section.
From David at Monterey Park:
Who is doing the vetting of the athletes in USC's compliance department? Mr. Magoo?
John Robbins from Renton, Washington:
Surprise, surprise -- another high-profile USC sports star was allegedly caught receiving illegal payments while still in school. I fully expect the NCAA and Pac-10 to pursue this matter with the same level of diligence and integrity that they did while investigating Reggie Bush. In other words, they won't do a darn thing because it's USC.
And from John Paul White at Hemet, CA:
According to "Tarnished Heisman" (and I believe it), in 2004 and 2005, in violation of NCAA rules, Reggie Bush accepted almost $300,000 in money and other benefits. Now O.J. Mayo is alleged to have accepted up to $30,000 in money and gifts.
I think it is wonderful, that in only three years the USC administrators have lowered the money their amateur athletes make by $270,000. It appears they've got a handle on the problem.
Ouch.
More letters here.
