I can imagine it would suck to have that over your head for so long. the NCAA is like any typically non-profit....slow as effing molasses.

University of South Carolina cited for failure to monitor
University of South Carolina, Columbia, failed to monitor its athletics program and is responsible for impermissible recruiting, extra benefits and preferential treatment, according to a decision announced today by the Division I Committee on Infractions. The violations in this case primarily involved football student-athletes and prospects.
Penalties in the case, many of which were self-imposed by the university, include three years of probation, scholarship reductions, recruiting restrictions, a $18,500 fine and disassociation of two involved boosters.
According to the facts of the case, twelve student-athletes lived in local hotel while paying a daily rate of less than $15 per person, an amount that was considerably less than what was available to the general student population. In addition, nine student-athletes received special loan arrangements by deferring rent payments through an agreement with the hotel. In total, the student-athletes received approximately $51,000 in impermissible extra benefits and preferential treatment.
In addition, two boosters provided more than $8,000 from their foundation for recruiting inducements and extra benefits to football prospects and student-athletes. These boosters also were involved in recruiting contacts. The committee noted that while some of the motivation and purpose for establishing the foundation were well-intentioned, it was clear that some efforts were aimed at assisting the university in its recruitment efforts. The benefits from the boosters included cash, gift cards, entertainment and funding of multiple unofficial visits.
The committee noted the trend of an increased importance placed on unofficial visits, particularly for football and mens basketball. Rather than utilizing school-funded official visits, unofficial visits can be utilized to circumvent certain requirements for recruits to provide academic transcripts or test scores before they visit. These expanded recruiting opportunities are often funded by a third party other than the student-athletes family and provide coaches with important early access to prospects.
The university failed to monitor and investigate the impermissible recruiting activity by boosters, according to the committee. Specifically, at least four athletics department employees did not recognize the potential violations.
With the exception of determining when the local hotel should be considered a booster organization, the university agreed with all of the allegations in this case, including the failure to monitor.
When determining the penalties, the committee noted the universitys cooperation in the investigation, which went beyond standard expectations, and the universitys self-imposed penalties. The penalties in this case include:
Public reprimand and censure.
Three years of probation from April 27, 2012, through April 26, 2015.
Reduction of total football scholarships by three (from 85 maximum) during the 2013-14 and 2014-15 academic years.
Reduction of initial football scholarships by three (from the 25 maximum) during the 2013-14 and 2014-15 academic years (self-imposed by the university).
$18,500 fine (self-imposed by the university).
Indefinite disassociation of both involved boosters and the local hotel (self-imposed by the university).
Limit of 30 official visits in football (from the 56 maximum) for the 2012-13 academic year (self-imposed by the university).
Limit of 50 official visits in mens and womens track and field (from unlimited maximum) for the 2012-13 academic year (self-imposed by the university).
Suspension of the head track coach during the 2012 Penn Relays (self-imposed by the university).
An assistant mens basketball coach was withheld from recruiting in December 2011 (self-imposed by the university).
An assistant football coach was withheld from off campus recruiting during January 2012 (self-imposed by the university).
The Division I Committee on Infractions is an independent group comprised of representatives across NCAA membership and the public. The members of the committee who reviewed this case include Britton Banowsky, commissioner of Conference USA and chair of the Committee on Infractions. Other members are John S. Black, attorney; Brian P. Halloran, attorney; Eleanor Myers, faculty athletics representative and law professor at Temple University; James OFallon, law professor and faculty athletics representative for University of Oregon; Dennis Thomas, commissioner of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference; Rodney Uphoff, law professor for University of Missouri, Columbia; and Christopher Griffin, attorney at Foley & Lardner and the committee coordinator of appeals.

As usual, I have no idea what im4usc post means.
I am surprised that USC was slapped on the wrist. But glad :-)

There was no competitive advanatage and they cooperated unlike teams like Auburn and Clemson that lie through their teeth to protect their only national title runs. Your opinions are based on no facts but you keep expressing them. You know nothing Fishb8 and should not call yourself a Gamecock. Do you understand what I mean or should I spell it out for you? You and saltydog are this sites version of "The View" - - constant dribble.

Not sure how I made it into this thread other than the huge piece of empty real estate I own in that dipschitt's head. FWIW, I've maintained all along that nothing would come of the infractions over and above the self imposed penalties. NCAA sanctions are a joke any more, look at So Cal and OSU if you think they aren't. In reality ball games are won on the field, not the Whitney and my school hasn't been getting it done where Pecker U is concerned but that'll change.
Fish I wouldn't even bother to respond to his post, arguing with idiots tends to have zero gain. If I thought I could build condo's in the dude's head and turn a decent profit, I'd do it but nobody wants to live that close to a sewer.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Glad to see the internet version of The View for fishermen is still busy crafting monday morning opinion pieces.
Build condos in my head, Salty??? Funny stuff - and that sewer tie in, very witty. I would never think you are a tool after reading that. And way to call the NCAA's ruling on Scar after the fact. You must still be down and out with no rewarding income. I will pray for you and your family if they haven't left loserville yet. Maybe we can meet at the pier on Pawley's Island this friday night and I can show you what a real man looks like. See you then, Saltynuts. Bring your lil fish8 friend too if eh can break away from "The CF View"
