Au contrair. I was at USC when coach John Robinson was caught falsifying class credits for certain players. Probation for years, loss of recruitment for years, loss of money to the program and a black eye for the university. I was in the speech dept. and saw the players come in and get "class credit".

Nope, SC has been hit hard before like other big time programs. After the sanctions, Robinson went on to coach the Rams, getting a nice fat paycheck. If SC takes it in the shorts here, Carroll will be coaching in the NFL for more money than he was getting at USC and the program will take a nose dive for at least a decade.

I think Carroll has burned through his NFL chances. He was a two time loser as a Head Coach in the NFL.

I was there then, too. Those sanctions reduced a top program down, waaayy down for years.
