LA Times reporting Joe McKnight paid by Key Corruption Figure -

A key figure in the ongoing corruption scandal at the Los Angeles County assessor's office said he gave cash and perks worth thousands of dollars to two USC athletes while they were still in school, actions that could violate college sports rules. The allegations are contained among hundreds of Scott Schenter's county work emails that suggest the former appraiser provided football star Joe McKnight with a car and an airline ticket, and basketball player Davon Jefferson with about $3,700 in cash. The Times obtained the emails from the assessor's office under the California Public Records Act.

This falls totally outside the scope of the Reggie Bush - Agent relationship they are currently serving sanctions for.

Nice timing by the LA times. 4 fours before kickoff
USC apparently investigated McKnight, declared him inelligable, and the NCAA later cleared him, so it might not be a big deal.... Still FML

I knew it had to have been something for McKnight not to go to LSU.

In response to a request from The Times, the assessor's office released copies of hundreds of Schenter's work emails, including attachments, that contain rich detail about Schenter's mostly after-hours efforts as an entrepreneur. A September 2010 email Schenter sent from one of his private business accounts to his work address had an attachment titled "Proposed 2008 Adjustments to Income" that names Jefferson and McKnight as people who received payments.
A second attachment, "2008 IRS Business Deductions," lists 12 payments totaling $3,730 to "Davon" or "DJ." Jefferson is the only person on the list of payees with those initials.
Also listed are 36 payments worth $30,460 to "Joe." It's unclear whether any of those payments were meant for the football player because, according to the email, there are two potential recipients with that first name, McKnight and Joe Galliani, one of Schenter's business associates. Galliani did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
There are no emails from Jefferson, McKnight or anyone other than Schenter that would confirm he actually made the payments.
The potentially unfair part of this is Kiffin would be robbed of the chance to get taken down for his own monkey business (as head coach anyway, he was on the coaching staff)
I'm surprised this hit the light of day - I figured the Pete and Ed show was run by people who knew how to keep their particulars under wraps

The NCAA will rule on this in 2017.

Please let this happen. NCAA under Emert is trying to clear it's image of giving the big programs free passes.

Pete Carroll clearly knew something was coming down the pike.
