Then why were there no sanctions or forfeitures related to Maurice Clarett at Ohio State, or Rhett Bomar at Oklahoma, when they were found to have received illegal benefits while playing for those schools? The individuals took the hit, the programs didn't.

The point to my original post is to illustrate the precedent you set when hammering the university for the actions of those outside the control of the university. You open the door for considerable abuse, even to where you expose the schools to the shenanigans of those who might wish to undermine the program.

The precedent is set that the NCAA rules in an arbitrary fashion. At OSU Troy Smith won the Heisman, at Alabama it would have cost the team 20 scholarships and Maurice Clarrett would have gotten the program the death penalty.

As a USC fan, you have nothing to worry about. The NCAA has no agenda against you so the school will not be affected.
