t's a unique situation in college football and the NCAA is out of their mind treating USC like any other podunk college-town U

Yes, because no other D1 team is located near a major metroplex. Do you have any idea how big of a town Austin is? It's not podunk, and UT is one of the biggest programs in the nation. Miami, Houston, Rice, Maryland, and Georgia Tech are all in major metro areas. Hell, Notre Dame is just outside of Chicago and the Detroit press covers Michigan.

Not every program is like Alabama. There is NOTHING unique about USC's situation.

Man some of you guys are really blinded by hate for USC. This guy Scott Schenter, the supplier or illegal benefits, is Washington Huskies fan. There are emails from him saying he hopes USC gets in trouble for this:

"I am just finishing a USC Basketball Bus (notice, basketball) because I have direct access to a couple of the players (nothing on paper). I just finished talking with the compliance department because I am going to put gigantic posters of OJ Mayo (the new Lebron) and Davon Jefferson on vinyl wrapped on the bus. Also, I would showcase these Lights…USC said no, it was against NCAA rules. What are they going to do, put them on probation? Good! I offered my Husky van to Tyrone Willingham and he sent me a letter back declining (Neuheisel would have accepted in a second). No wonder we [Washington] are 0-8. USC (not under Scott’s Control) said that you couldn’t put pictures of any player on my bus. What are they going to do to me? Will the NCAA fine me (yeah right)?Oregon has billboards in Time Square of current players. They have trading cards of OJ Mayo in high school. I am going to do this. They or the NCAA have no authority over me. I can put what I want on my bus. How come a magazine can put them on a cover but I can’t put a picture on a bus? Maybe I will put pictures of them from high school (OJ Mayo played for the Trojans) or I will put OJ on one side and a MAYO ad on the other (hmm, I think I will sell that). Maybe I will advertise the Mayo clinic! Just think of the publicity or Probation USC, not a bad choice. I will need an attorney! USC sucks!"

But go ahead and cry about SC cheating. How does any of this benefit SC? What advantage could these things possible bring to SC's performance on the field or in the classroom? Im not gonna lose any sleep over whatever "Boo Hoo Baloo" and the rest of these crybabies think.

About 800k. About 3 million less people than L.A. And Detroit has about 700k. Notre Dame isnt in Chicago. Michigan isn't in Detroit. But point isn't just the size of the city, and I think you know this. Houston, Detroit, D.C.; these cities aren't major entertainment capitals that attract wannabe sports agents and other scum bags the way Los Angeles does. The only comparable city is New York. I'm not saying USC should get a pass because of this, but it should be taken into account.
