Perks are one thing, giving a kid and his family that kinda dough is another. I'd really like to get a look at Leinhart's lifestyle last year as well. Kid passes up being number one in the draft to stick around because "hes enjoying campus life?" yeah, ok, sure.
The best part is that the filth still lost. And the title they did win is going bye bye. Oh, and Vince Young gets the Heisman he deserves when Bush is stripped.
See! There is justice in the world!!!
But please don't try and tell me that "the genius" Pete Carroll didn't know about all this.

Mike, if you were getting the kind of tang that Leinart was getting, you would have stayed also, I don't know a man that would pass up a different girl every night if he were single.

Leinart's family is loaded, his old man paid for his living expenses and had like five of the players live there with him, and pay rent(just another way around the system)

So now it's zero championships in the last 3 yrs for USC....give em the same death penalty they gave to SMU back in the 80's....

every kid in the world wants to go to USC....this might just change things.

Mike you know I just have to dig you on this one I played major college football and everyone is doing it,, sounds like sour grapes from a Notre Dame fan simple as that and please dont make me go into my tirade about Lou Hotz who cheated at every stop in his coaching career it started with Arkansas, ND, Minn. SC the only place he didnt cheat was William and Mary and the Jets because either they would'nt allow it or he didnt have to I bet he wished he was able to cheat when he was with the Jets because that team stunk!! I agree with one of my most admired coaches for my money Dr. Tom Osborne who throughout his time at Nebraska advocated paying the players some money so that everyone didnt have to cheat to keep up...... just one man's opinions but dont give me that Holier then thou crap from a Notre Dame fan.

This is a nation-wide problem...I also believe players should be paid, they generate money for the university, they deserve a share! There are some honest programs...the old man at Penn State runs a pretty good one!

You can't take Oracle seriously on things like this. If he has it in for someone, he will bash them for things that he would never bash someone else for. For example, since he doesn't like Garret Gomez, he always bashes Gomez for his past problems with substance abuse, but I've never heard him bash Jerry Bailey or P Val for their past problems with substance abuse.

If a trainer that Oracle likes gets nailed with a drug positive, he'll come up with every excuse in the book. The funniest one was when he said that mepivicaine was for dental work and that's why the horse tested positive for it. When he realized that mepivicaine is not used for dental work then he said that even thought the horse was given the drug, the trainer must not have known about it. He tries to argue that guys like Todd Pletcher and Steve Asmussen are in the dark about what drugs their horses are getting, but he thinks that Pete Carrol knows if Reggie Bush gets a free room in Las vegas. These aren't exactly rational arguments.
