Trojans Taking A Pounding ...

... 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.

GO BRUINS.

My personal favorite
I wonder what potential sanctions USC faces from the NCAA in the wake of the O.J. Mayo allegations. Would the Trojans be forced to relinquish their first-round exit from the tournament?

Collective Outrage

Will not convince the NCAA to do anything. It’s disheartening to see a program run roughshod over the rules of good sportsmanship. When will the madness end?

Victory or until next year!
