How the PAC committed suicide with a slow acting poison

well that was quick

Good to hear from you dildo boy. I like how you follow me around all the time like my little puppy, even though you are uglier than shit.

UW not quite as bad as the USC penalties. UW only lost 20 scholies. NCAA vacated USC 2004 National Championship, and all wins in 2004 & 2005 and 30 scholies over 3 years.

The 1994 two year probation penalties against the University of Washington was a two-year bowl ban, a reduction of 10 scholarships per season, a one-year television ban, funds from television forfeited for a year,

USC was not part of the Pac-10 committee that punished Washington. I agree the penalties were absurd nonetheless. ASU was the driving force on the committee to penalize Washington.

Since you brought it up.

The USC sanctions have been criticized by some NCAA football writers, including ESPN's Ted Miller, who wrote, "It's become an accepted fact among informed college football observers that the NCAA sanctions against USC were a travesty of justice, and the NCAA's refusal to revisit that travesty are a massive act of cowardice on the part of the organization."

Miller also suggested that the sanctions had more to do with objections to the football culture at USC than its alleged noncompliance with NCAA rules.

Further criticism of the sanctions came during later NCAA's investigations into other programs such as the University of Miami and University of Oregon for recruiting violations, all of which led to substantially more lenient punishments than USC's for greater offenses. This has led many objective observers to believe the NCAA's sanctions of USC were intended to serve as an example to other programs. However, the NCAA has failed to follow through with similar punishments to other college programs committing much worse violations.

Most notable of these scandals was that against Miami, because of the involvement of Paul Dee. Dee was the Committee on Infractions chairman for USC's NCAA investigation. It was Dee who announced the USC penalties and closed with the reminder that "high-profile athletes demand high-profile compliance." While Dee was athletic director, Miami had also been the center of major improper benefits, specifically involving ponzi scheme and convicted university booster Nevin Shapiro from 2002 until 2010. National journalists have noted the hypocrisy of Miami's more lenient punishment (loss of nine scholarships and three years) compared to USC's, despite Miami committing much more egregious infractions through university employees over a longer time. One writer stated: "it seems only fair [Dee] should spend a day at USC's Heritage Hall wearing a sandwich board with the word "Hypocrite."

In 2014, USC's sanctions once again became a talking point because of the Penn State child sex abuse scandal. Sanctions against Penn State, which included a four-year bowl ban and forty lost scholarships, were all restored after two years. USC petitioned the NCAA for similar leniency but was denied, the NCAA finding the situations to be distinguishable. A spokesman later stated, "anal raping underaged children in the locker room is permitted, but taking money that rightfully belongs to the NCAA is unforgivable". This incident led to more outcry over the inconsistency of punishment by the NCAA, and its seeming bias against USC.

Todd McNair, a running backs assistant coach at USC, sued the NCAA in June 2011, claiming that the NCAA's investigation against USC was one-sided and his future earnings were impaired by its report on the scandal that led to sanctions against USC. The NCAA determined McNair lied about knowing about some of the gifts to Bush's family.

Without Todd McNair, the NCAA had no case, so they fabricated evidence to implicate McNair knowing about the Reggie Bush family benefits. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Frederick Shaller ruled that the NCAA was "malicious" in its investigation of McNair. In his ruling, the Judge stated that e-mails between an investigative committee member, an NCAA worker, and a person who works in the agency's appeals division "tend to show ill will or hatred" toward McNair. In an e-mail, one staffer called McNair "a lying morally bankrupt criminal, in my view, and a hypocrite of the highest order." Judge Shaller said he would unseal the entire inquiry into McNair in December. "I understand [why] the NCAA wants to keep this quiet," the Judge said. "But I'm not going to seal the record... I know you guys are going to appeal it but from my part.. There's no reason to seal it. I think the public has a right to know."

Evidence during the trial shows that the NCAA fabricated evidence dates of telephone calls between McNair and the agent representing the Bush family. After the trial, it was discovered that the NCAA had planted a former NCAA attorney on the jury resulting in a mistrial. The NCAA finally offered a substantial sealed settlement with McNair. These events have exposed the NCAA as guilty of impropriety, however, to this date, the NCAA has not restored the wins in 2004 and 2005, has not restored Reggie's Heisman and not forfeited the monetary penalties and damages to USC.

The NCAA has lost much of their credibility, stature, integrity, reputation, and value because of the incidents cited.

You still shaking your head?

Right? Own the PAC 12, please. legends in their own, severely retarded minds.

"One can't deny the penalties against USC was the worst since the SMU death penalty."

SMH

Always valuable getting coaching hiring advice from a Duck fan. Mark Helfrich, Willie Taggert and Mario Cristobal. What an all-star cast. Dan Lanning TBD.

There's no pattern there that gives pause.

When you see a pattern that just isn't working, it's best to bring it to the attention of the offending party. Hiring from within wasn't working for SC...and not just because of a desire to keep the Carroll magic going (which is understandable). But because of a very public inbred xenophobic fear of anyone who isn't a "Man of Troy". Get it?

BTW Helfrich has done something no other USC coach (or any other p12 coach for that matter) has ever done to date: Go to the playoffs and win a playoff game. And that playoff win was an absolute rout against a team that was something like 27-0 up to that point.

As bad of a head coach as Helfrich was, that's fairly remarkable....

thank you for being so kind

cheers!

thank you

all the best

I'm not sure it would have mattered in the long run. Texas got unequal revenue sharing and bolted. They even had their own Network to boot .

Look, when teams like Purdue and Indiana are going to get 80-100 mil it's over.

That's why FSU is saying F the GOR. We're leaving regardless. See you in Court. It will be settled. ESPN isn't going through years of depositions, releasing documents for discovery. Shredding documents etc.

It's going to a P3 of 20 teams each

Then your G conferences.

Question is, does a G team get an at large bid or does the P3 just cut them out along with the NCAA.
