Wasn't that the point of traffic school?

No...and he didn't cheat. Cheating would be like taking PEDs, not

How did the SEC take down USC? Evidence, please, no conjecture. I'll wait.

Apr 24, 8:48am

He didn't do anything against the rules to make himself the best player.

Did he cheat or did USC cheat?

Both cheated?

Enticing him with money to play for an excellent team didn’t benefit him? What

BlooCoug

Apr 24, 8:20am

...um...are you implying that as a recruit, if not for the money...

Hard to know. Some good programs don’t have excellent offensive lines. The fact

He was a 5 star athlete recruited by Oregon, Washington, Texas, ND. He’s winning the heisman at any of those schools.

I'd like to see equal application of the law, seems like USC and Bush were

"Other people did it too" is hardly a compelling reason to let an offender off

Gustav

Apr 24, 8:45am

Oh I agree, I'm talking about equal application of the law, NCAA enforces these

And you think they were doing that here? If so, based on what?
