Now Pete won't get in trouble for paying his players...

I think Pete knows that the NCAA is about to lay the hammer on the USC athletic department.

Wasn't it just last year Carroll was saying that some guys are college coaches and not NFL ones? That he was quite happy with what he was doing/building at USC. It would seem that he might be getting out before the ship goes down. He knows he's run it into the iceberg and he's getting the lifeboat launched while the rest of the boat is still listening to Nearer My God to Thee.

Do you think Kavienga was one of the first to jump into a lifeboat i.e. BYU?

USC always gets great players. They do not always win. See Paul Hackett years and before. Plus, I expect UW to steal some of their recruits, Oregon too. USC is about to take a dip.

I guess that means they would also have to take a pay cut! ;)



I think they have only scratched the surface with what is public so far. The problem is there is so much going on at every major university in every major sport. Just as an example University of Tennessee 4 basketball players get stopped in a car and the police find drugs and a gun in the car. The driver was dismissed from school, 3 players suspended pending legal action. No one is even looking into the car that was supposedly a rental provided by a friend??? That's just one of the perks I guess.



It would be nice to be in line for some of the recruit fallout at USC but lets make sure they wouldn't be coming looking for $100.00 hand shakes from boosters and free use of rental cars.



Go Cougs!
