The NCAA finally made their announcement of the infractions of the Southern Cal football team and other sports. Two years with out bowls games , a loss of thirty scholarships and forfeiting of games in 2004 and 2005.
I am no way a fan of the Trojans. The penalties that have been imposed are base on what happen in 2004-2005. Those guilty they are free as a bird. Reggie Bush took $300,000 dollars to buy a home, a car and look big on campus. Pete Carroll the football coach is off coaching the NFL now. Who is stuck with the pain?, but players who were not even there when this cheating occurred.
Yes the athletic director is the same and I say fire him. Don't hurt those that are blameless. Fine the school five million dollars and tell Pete Carroll he can never coach in the NCAA again but don't ruin college for those not responsible. Take away every trophy that Reggie Bush has linking him to the NCAA. Ban those that gave the money to never set foot on any college campus again. Just seems to me innocent until proven guilty means find somebody to punish.
My take on all this conference realignment is this is the first step to ending the NCAA as we know it. Football is going to be totally different from everything else. Why take the Texas tennis team and fly them to Spokane Washington for a conference game. That is ridiculous! Football is going to wind up being a division by itself and all other sports in another league. That's what greed will do for you.
Last night I was out at the Sports Complex and we did the Midget League championship game for the city of Rocky Mount. Marlins beat the Cubs 12-10 and the cubs had two runners out at home on force plays in the last inning. A really good game.
It doesn't really matter how old you are if both teams are even you can really has some fun watching good athletic events. This one surely was.
