    By GREG BEACHAM AP Sports Writer
    LOS ANGELES(AP)—Southern California has received a two-year bowl ban and a sharp loss of football scholarships in a report on the NCAA’s four-year investigation of the school.

    The NCAA cited USC for a lack of institutional control Thursday in its long-awaited report, which detailed numerous violations primarily involving Heisman Trophy-winning tailback Reggie Bush and men’s basketball player O.J. Mayo.
    The NCAA found that Bush, identified as a “former football student-athlete,” was ineligible beginning at least by December 2004 and through Bush’s Heisman-winning 2005 season, which ended with the Trojans’ loss to Texas in the 2006 Rose Bowl.
    USC will lose 10 football scholarships annually from 2011-13. The Trojans also received four years of probation.

    Thats huge right there, man that sucks for those kids, but the parents should have done a little more research.

    I guess Henderson can fall back on his dad's rap career.

    With USC down, the other teams joining the PAC 1 must see an opportunity.

    Pretty sure that is correct because they wouldn't have enrolled and the eligibility clock would not have started. But I am not sure if there is a rule about full-time student during the summer and eligibility because at LSU 6 hours is considered full-time during the summer.

    So maybe if the prospect is only considered a part-time summer school student then the eligibility clock would not start running and he could petition the NCAA to get out of his LOI.

    Just think, you are USC, you get the hammer dropped on you with sanctions, and the same day you find out that you have to play Texas, and OU in football at least once every 4 seasons, or maybe every season depending on how it breaks down. :lol::lol:
