2-yr postseason ban, all victories in games Bush played in from December 2004 through the 2005 nullified... including their win over Fresno State where Bush nearly singlehandedly beat us. Betcha Lane Kiffin is regretting leaving Tennessee right about now.

It's a very long article, what's the bottom line? Not the penalty USC received but what are they saying specifically USC did for the athletes that's a no no?

USC didn't do anything, but Reggie Bush (football) and OJ Mayo (basketball) apparently received improper benefits while they were students, thus making them ineligible. USC got hit with not having control over its sports programs and athletes. That's the readers digest version of it.

Well I bet USC wasn't entirely "blind" about the whole thing, I bet their "supporters" had a big hand in it. Is it wrong, yeah, does it happen EVERYWHERE, YEAH......
