Reggie Bush’s season for which the entire USC football program is fucked was SIX YEARS ago.  The reason I haven’t posted about the stripping of the 2004 BCS trophy is two-fold and simple:

1. Everyone at USC expected this would happen if the appeals were denied.

2. It was SIX YEARS ago, we’d all just like to move on now please.

The NCAA has done everything they can to us and we’re still goddamned front page news day in and day out.  Tennessee, Ohio State, UNC and WVU are doing their best to put themselves on the NCAA’s radar with various forms of flaunting the rules the institution is so inconsistent in enforcing and yet it is still USC I see on the front page of ESPN, SI, Facebook, Twitter, etc.

We get it. The NCAA spanked us. We’re taking our punishment and moving on.

Won’t you all do the same? The isht going on at Ohio State threatens to be even more program destroying than Reggie Bush’s ride at USC. “Systemic violations for over eight years.”  “Terrelle Pryor deposited checks for his signature on OSU memorabilia”   “Over 50 players/friends/family members and used car dealerships” – these are but a few of the things I’ve read that have me shaking my head.  I have no love for the Ohio State University but right now, I feel for their fans.

That said, I fully expect the NCAA to find someway to not enforce the rules at Ohio State. USC was ONE PLAYER FOR TWO SEASONS. Yet in the end, I suspect we will still be held up as the bad guys.

Please move on, I beg of you.
