Seems that the BCS is considering stripping USC of it's 2004 Championship is Bush is found guilty of accepting money while on the team.

Wow that would mean the mighty USC has zero BCS titles then.

 

[Mackenzie]

Do you think he would then be hated by USC fans?

 

[BigBuddy]

I wonder if the AP would do the same for the 2003 No. 1 ranking?

 

[Saint Jack]

Wow. Never thought it would go this far.

considering how the AP handled Cushing's award, i would not hold my breath.

I don't get it... what's the new info here? Hasn't this been going on since he got here?

i really couldn't care less about the BCS, USC or college football politics (or policy) in general.

These school make millions off the backs student players, i've though for years that college athelets should be paid a salary as if they were doing student work study.

Just another reason to like Reggie Bush more than I do now.

 

[tenordas]

NO-PEAT!!!!

So does this mean Auburn gets 2004 after all?

Agreed, and the kids are locked into playing two years of college ball. Today's college football player is yesteryear's indentured servant. The hypocrisy of coming down heavy handed on kids who make small infractions, ala Dez Bryant has turned me off to the college game all together.

I wonder if Vince Young will get a heisman trophy out of this also.

That's a private award, not something the NCAA controls.

War eagle.

Rules are rules, and I could care less about USC, but I think its garbage for schools to get penalized if a kid takes money/stuff from someone.

Schools make millions from these players. Yes the game is played by the players, and the NCAA is pimping these kids.

Again... rules are rules and should be followed, but I just don't agree with the rule.

They're basically letting these kids play for free while the school cashes these million $ checks, and now adays some college coaches are paid more than pro coaches. And what does the kid get? Screwed...
