re: does anyone believe pete carroll about why he left usc?

quote:

---

reasonable expectation to know that an agent bribed a player's parents

---

agents were invited to the sidelines during games and the locker room to meet with players

reggie bush, the team's highest profile player, was featured on a car mag with his souped out car wearing thousands of dollars in clothes and jewelry

shouldn't usc's compliance office known where reggie's parents were living? if they had paid any attention, they would have known they were living in a nearly million dollar house. their profession was security guard. usc's compliance office, if they really did not know, didn't know because they didn't want to know.


it wasn't all about Reggie Bush either. it was about the institution as a whole and how it lacked control over athletics. it spanned across several sports - football, men's basketball (Mayo) and the tennis programs. in short, the usc compliance office gave the apperance to investigators that they didnt care and didnt try to stop players getting paid by agents.
