There always seems to be some school that is guilty of minor infractions that is held accountable in the most severe manner. Then there are golden ones, ones' whose obvious indiscretions are overlooked or minimized because they bring too much value to the table. More so than their punishments are never in scale with their crimes, the accountability is administered well after the fact. If these issues were dealt with in season, this would not be viewed as a frivolous matter. http://www.fanblogs.com/usc/006378.php Pac10 says Leinart broke rules The Matt Leinart era may be over for the USC football team and coaches, but the Leinart legacy apparently isn't. The Pac10 has determined that USC broke NCAA rules this year by allowing Leinart to work out with the owner of the Air 7 football academy. According to a memo issued by the Pac-10 and received by USC, "an outside consultant can not work with a (student-athlete) on the institution's facilities unless the individual is counted against the applicable coaching limits." As a result of the incident, Leinart, USC coach Pete Carroll and staff members were required to undergo a rules review session. Leinart signed with CAA as his agents, who then signed to represent the Air 7 football academy as well. So the USC coaches will watch a rules video or something, no big deal as far as punishments go. It does make you wonder where the oversight was on letting Leinart work out with his own private coaches, though. That's a known no-no and it doesn't appear that USC ever tried to put a stop to it.

That had to be like a $15000 seat. Im pretty sure there was some type of violation for that, lol.
