Here in the Bible Belt, we turn ourselves in and dump our quarterback over very small amounts of payments for work.

Only the naive, but to be fair if this had happened at an SEC, ACC or BIG 12 school the program would face huge sanctions - probably around 20 scholarships.

In this case, USC will say that they didn't know (which is mostly likely the case) and the NCAA will say "oh well, no harm no foul - good work guys" and that will be the end of it.
