Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
USC's misfortune falls into Miami's lap!!!

The fallout from the NCAA's probation hammer on USC continued Friday when Seantrel Henderson, considered one of the best recruits of the 2010 class, announced he'll attend the University of Miami in the fall.

Henderson, a 6-foot-8, 340-pound offensive lineman from Minnesota, had signed with the Trojans but forced a release from his letter of intent after USC was placed on four years' probation last month.

"Seantrel has been great through the whole process and we wish him the best of luck in his decision," USC coach Lane Kiffin told the Los Angeles Times after Henderson was granted his release earlier this week.

Losing Henderson should not come as a shock for the Trojans, who received a verbal commitment from him in February but had to wait until March before he signed a letter of intent because of concerns about the NCAA's investigation into the USC football program.

Since USC granted Henderson a release without any restrictions, he does not have to sit out a year and is eligible to play this season. Henderson's father, Sean, told the New York Times that his son would arrive at Miami on Aug. 3


Should be some consolation to you, t-rock. If he's gotta go somewhere, might as well be the 'Canes.

It just keep getting better and better for South Beach:mad:well at least it is a postive move and I wish the Canes the best.Yeah I said it:eek:
 
So an 'unknown' SEC school reported UF for violations. First of all, it was obviously Tennessee. C'mon, who else would it be? Second of all, I'm getting sick of these violations and arrests, we're becoming Tennessee. There's a reason I wasn't upset when Urban Meyer said he was walking away.
 
USC #3? Hilarious. Even with our joke of a schedule this year, 2 losses will not surprise me. Oline is a mess, Linebackers are small and Matt Barkley is only a Sophmore. We should be playing Mitch Mustain. Wide Receivers are unproven. We should be set at RB though.

Bama will be playing Miami, Ohio State or Texas.

Everyone's dumping on Cal, but this might be the year where they break their Rose Bowl curse. Why not? The Pac10 is there for the taking for anyone really...

Not sure why expectations for SC should be lowered...They still have allot of talent...

Kiffin doesn't have to actually do anything for at least 2 years but roll the football out there. Even he can't fuck that up..(I don't think).

I seemingly pick Cal to win the Pac-10 every single year, thinking they're a real sleeper to contend for the national title, and they always proceed to disappoint me. I really have no idea who to pick in the Pac-10. The controversy aside, Lane Kiffin hasn't done shit as a head coach, so I can't see him winning anything major, at least right away. I'd like to say ASU, but since getting a share of title (which no one remembers) a couple years ago, they're 6-12 in the Pac-10. Interesting stat, ASU lost twice as many as they won (4-8) but still outscored their opponents last season. That means they're close, but fuck up in the end, probably cuz they couldn't pick a damn QB.

Welcome to the Pac-10 :hatsoff:

Carroll's rules violation could hurt USC
His quiet hiring of a former NFL coach may affect the school's appeal of NCAA sanctions, experts say


Former USC football coach Pete Carroll shows his game face in denouncing the NCAA's penalties against the school, contending they are too harsh because he and other administrators never knew that star athletes such as Reggie Bush had violated the rules.

But Carroll has been shy about mentioning that the NCAA found his quiet hiring of an extra coach, a big name from the NFL, was a major violation. The association also said that Carroll did not clear the hire with USC's compliance office, a finding that contradicts what he told The Times last year.

Now, as USC presses an appeal of the heavy sanctions the association imposed, Carroll's culpability could diminish the school's prospects of persuading the NCAA to ease the punishment, experts say.

"That's going to hurt USC on its appeal," said Michael Buckner, a Florida attorney and Trojan alumnus who specializes in sports law. "There are major rule violations found against not only his student athletes but against his coaching staff and a decision he made."

The decision, as The Times reported last July, was to hire Pete Rodriguez, a former NFL special teams guru, in violation of the association's cap on coaches. It gave USC "more than a limited competitive advantage" over other schools, the NCAA found. Carroll did not list Rodriguez on the coaches roster while he served as a "consultant" for the Trojan kicking squads during the entire 2008 regular season.

In its June report on the violations, the NCAA says USC's compliance office learned of Carroll's arrangement with Rodriguez only when an unidentified school complained about it in February 2009.

Talk about fucking USC right up the ass....:confused:

AVN ought to take a serious look at nominating Reggie Bush and USC for best amateur anal scene. Bush fucked USC up the ass the best they've ever been fucked.

The guy who busted Bush and sang says he would have never said a word nor would anyone have found out about it had Bush simply repaid him his money.

What a jackass Bush must really be. Cool guy otherwise. But damn RB...:confused:
 
2 things never count on CAL they seem to fold under pressure and expectations

Pitt just lost one of their dominant DE to crime he committed,allegedly, i don't know all the details but i doubt he plays soon

Garrett out, Haden in as USC athletic director

LOS ANGELES – Pat Haden will replace embattled Southern California athletic director Mike Garrett next month.

In a letter to school supporters Tuesday, incoming USC president Max Nikias said the embattled Garrett will be replaced Aug. 3 by Haden, a respected member of USC's board of trustees and an NBC football analyst.

Both Garrett and Haden are former USC football players. Garrett won the Heisman Trophy in 1965, while Haden was the Trojans' starting quarterback for three years under coach John McKay.

The 66-year-old Garrett has been the Trojans' athletic director for 17 years, but he received severe criticism for his handling of the scandals surrounding USC's powerful football team and other programs over the past several years. The NCAA hit USC with major sanctions last month, including a two-year bowl ban and scholarship restrictions.

While refraining from directly criticizing Garrett, Nikias said the USC athletic department under his presidency "will seek to excel in the coming years in a manner that is consistent with the highest values" of the school.
