I am just wondering how one person’s mistakes can cause an entire school to get punished so severely. Usually punishments should fit the crime. Eye for an eye, that sort of thing. If I understand it correctly, the NCAA is punishing USC for incidents that took place several years ago. It appears as if Pete Carroll and Reggie Bush are both shocked at the punishments because they DON’T fit the crime. I believe USC is being made an example of at the expense of the next wave of high school seniors and college kids and not of the players and coaches who were involved. Basically, it has caused untold consequences and collateral damage for tomorrow’s players. What judge would think is fair?

Some results in college football are shocking. Their dramatic, unexpected flash imprints on our brains like a photograph.
Other results resonate. Their unfolding draws a meaningful line dividing a before and after.
When Stanford beat USC 24-23 in 2007, it was shocking. The Cardinal were a 41-point underdog playing their backup quarterback in a venue, the LA Coliseum, where USC, college football’s most feared program, had won 35 games in a row.
It flashed and everyone gawked. And then Stanford went on to finish 4-8 and USC went on to win the Rose Bowl and finish ranked No. 3 in the nation.
Boom! Then business as usual.

USC tailback Stafon Johnson, who is recovering from throat surgery necessitated by a weightlifting accident, is expected to be released from the hospital Wednesday, the school announced.
Johnson was injured Sept. 28 when a bar carrying 275 pounds slipped from his hand and fell on his throat.
“There is still a process for all of the recovery of all the intricacies here, but he’s going to be out and about and all of that, so we’re thrilled for him,” Coach Pete Carroll said at his weekly newsconference.
When the sixth-ranked Trojans play at No. 25 Notre Dame on Saturday the Trojans will wear stickers on their helmets that read “STA FIGHT ON” over the number 13.

Southern California dropped nine spots and out of the top 10 in The Associated Press college football poll Sunday, and Washington moved into the rankings for the first time in six years.
A day after the Huskies upset the Trojans 16-13 on a late field goal, USC fell from No. 3 to No. 12 in the media poll. The Trojans became the second preseason top-five team to lose in the first three weeks of the season. Preseason No. 3 Oklahoma lost its opener to BYU.
Washington, ranked for the first time since Sept. 28, 2003, is No. 24.
