> [@Nars\_Glinley](#): > > In saying that, they would seem to be admitting to a “lack of institutional control.” Well no of course , they aren’t ever going to say that, But that is the whole meaning of the official term “Lack of Institutional Control” which I love. I was responding to Pete’s load of bullshit. He didn’t ‘know’. And the NCAA stopped giving a free pass on that particular bullshit, The sin of omission is now gonna screw em up the ass too, and that I applaud ---

> [@wolfman](#): > > Good. Cause I still find it damn hard to believe that 3 5 star running back would go there every year to sit on the bench behind the 5 they already have if there wasn’t something worth giving up an NFL shot. Well, to be fair there is a current NFL starting quarter back who was never good enough to start for the Trojans and a part time backup who was also drafted pretty highly. I’m sure the bribes and babes helped out but riding the pine pony at USC doesn’t exactly hurt your NFL chances. ---

Either that’s a total hatchet job or Garrett’s a total ass. Okay, or both. ---

Ya know, if my school had just been sanctioned by the NCAA, and my athletic director and football coach were saying things like this: \*“Regardless of what happens in that appeal, we know this: SC is more powerful than anything else,” Kiffin said. “The university, the football program, the basketball program – no matter what they try to do to us, it won’t matter.” \* I think I’d be looking for a new athletic director and football coach. I didn’t like Kiffin when he was at Tennessee and piling up SEC fines. Looks like he just doesn’t learn when to keep his yap shut. ---

Apparently, Juniors and Seniors at USC are free to transfer to another school without sitting out a year. There has got to be some vultures out there ready to gobble up the carrion. ---
