This kind of news might get half the USC alums to realize they have a basketball team.

  "Former Trojans assistant coach Tony Bland pleaded guilty in January to one felony count of conspiracy to commit bribery, admitting he accepted $4,100 in cash to steer players at the school to certain financial advisers and business managers once they turned pro."


   $4,100?  was that missing a few more zeros?  cheezus, that's not even worth the bother.  if i was tony, i'd go to usc and ask them for another $4k in salary so he doesn't have to do anything stupid

Sure. Let's see what actually happens.

Pretty much a joke. My guess is handslaps at best for the programs he mentions.

The NCAA is worthless

For the MILLIONS of alumni over the last 100+ years that earned a degree, competed, etc....you couldn't be more wrong.  They have plenty of faults, have failed badly in some areas, but far succeeded more than failed and it isn't even close.

Yep, way too early to be taking Bows. Fool me once.

Yeah, we'll just ignore the major punishments against USC, Kentucky, Penn State, Michigan, Louisville, etc, etc, etc

The memories here are really concerning.


And of course the tired and completely bullshyte argument that some smaller school is hit instead of a larger school has been blown out of the water countless times.  Most recently in this independent study....but hey, Jerry Tarkanian said it so it must be true because Jerry was the epicenter of truthfulness.

First people bitch about the NCAA not bringing charges quickly enough.  Then when they do, they bitch about the punishment.

That's because the NCAA is worthless

ND sucks

Your right they do.  But these are two different steps and people can have opinions on one or both.

[Cheeks]

If it were, then no punishments would be handed out....but many have.  Because you don't like the timing or the fact their hands are often tied because of jurisdiction and lack of subpoena power is fine, but they aren't worthless.  Making such a claim is...well...worthless.

[Cheeks]

Your right they do.  But these are two different steps and people can have opinions on one or both.

Absolutely, and people can have other opinions to push back and bring facts to bear to back them up.   

[Loose Cannon]

I agree with that, and also that the NCAA is necessary.

[Dr. Blackheart]

First people bitch about the NCAA not bringing charges quickly enough.  Then when they do, they bitch about the punishment.

We bitch about the timing because Stan Wilcox, the head of the NCAA infraction investigations, promised that the violations would be issued before the end of summer (and before the start of the season). Instead, seven of the alleged implicated schools are in Pomeroy's Top 30...and that's not counting the Nike schools who also had allegations or Creighton.

Incredibly, the cartel member schools with the most egregiously alleged behaviors like Self, Wade and Miller, still gainfully employ, promote and defend these loyal street soldiers.

Threat level midnight for USC!!!! Lol I'm sure the vacated wins from previous seasons and a loss of a scholarship or two will really teach them!

He's right. And the moon landing was faked. I read it on the internet.

LOL.  Yup

Bingo.

Just another hill for Cheeks to die on.
