McClain was suspended from the team on Sept. 18, two days after Michael Blanton, the university’s vice president of ethics and professionalism, questioned the sophomore about what he knew about unemployment benefits. McClain had filed for the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance program over the summer and received money from the state.


Can'b be taking unemployment benefits while you are a student at the university. Hope is not majoring in business ethics.

There’s a “We gotta show this guy” element in the punishment. Teenagers still are naive to the rules. USC has to go thru with the punishment to show the others and the university is going to find out how it is to be a cop these days.

Why not? Is that a university policy or some kind of law? Did he have a job, and did he lose it due to Covid shutdowns?

“ Munir along with his mother Shan have both stated he has done nothing illegal to warrant a suspension,” the news release read. “Student athletes like Munir McClain are struggling to make ends meet during this global pandemic and are being unfairly punished by USC officials for receiving funds from the Pandemic Unemployment Assistance Program which Munir applied for and was able to receive because he qualified for it.”

It’s so not illegal that feds are investigating him...

ALTHOUGH - suspending him while the investigation is ongoing (It sounds like he’s not been charged, let alone convicted) seems unfair to me. Especially if he’s still attending the college (and the state is helping pay his way - which means the college is culpable in assisting a criminal justice so they can get their money!

The U is probably just doing something because they have to. The leftist idiots are busy teaching kids that the best thing they can do with themselves is to become a ward of the state. They probably told him on the sly that he done good. I’m sure he’ll get no-show probation and no-show community service, every college town has a judicial system where ballplayer felonies magically become misdemeanors.

Yep, I’m sure it’s the kind of school that gives them new $200 shoes every week. 10 pairs in the closet and a few grand a quarter selling the rest on Ebay.

Are you a student if you don’t attend classes? Asking for a friend.
