“And the legacies of two USC heroes — Bush and Pete “Cut and Run” Carroll — were significantly tainted as well.” Really? I could give a tinker’s cuss for USC, but, were they? From where I sit, the NCAA is still that most mythical of creatures: the snow-white hypocrite, the flawess sinner. Milk these kids for money, cash in on their labors (screw it, so many of the football players will never be quite whole again anyway), and then express OUTRAGE and talk about THE RULES when they just want to stop being poor; as long as the powerful stay in power, all is right in the world.
By the by, anybody notice the absurd sums of money being discussed today re: conference realignment? Among NONPROFIT institutions? That will raise their tuition again, without fail year-in year-out?
