Sample Tries to Avoid Getting Tagged With Lack of Institutional Control; Quits
(I actually don't recommend clicking through, as it gives them hits to their website, and it delays their inevitable demise. I've provided the fun stuff here)
Emphasis/Fact Editing Mine:
"Sample's time was marked both by tumult and achievement...(one) national football (championship) and a new basketball arena but also scandals involving academic fraud by athletes; improvements in nearby neighborhoods, along with street crimes against students."
"Why not quit while you're ahead?"
Why indeed...

We did predict this, kinda.
Shortly after the charges arose that Timmeh had personally handed cash over to OJ, we discussed at length the actions USC would take to avoid the wrath of the NCAA. I believe dropping Tim Floyd and Mike Garret was the most common scenario. But, I do believe somebody here mentioned the possibility of USC dropping Mike Garret and Steve Sample as means of appeasing the NCAA.
Could it be this is what we’re seeing with this announcement? Is Steve Sample throwing himself on a sword? Is he leaving so that he can invoke some sort of confidentiality clause should the NCAA come knocking on his door?
