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

shouldn't usc's compliance office known where reggie's parents were living?

Reggie Bush's parents aren't scholarship athletes.

if they had paid any attention, they would have known they were living in a nearly million dollar house.

Which in California isn't nearly as big a deal as in, say, Baton Rouge.

And if they found out, what should they do? Suspend Bush? What if his dad had gotten a raise at work? Are his parents supposed to provide financials every year?

By the way, you should remember that the ONLY reason this "scandal" came up is because the butthurt agent ran to the NCAA when Bush chose NOT to sign with him.

 usc's compliance office, if they really did not know, didn't know because they didn't want to know.

Are they supposed to check on every player's parents? What about the kids whose parents live on the other side of the country? Should the USC compliance office be on their cases?

Mayo was paid by people directly connected to USC in order to get him to attend USC. Totally different from the Bush situation.

The NCAA intentionally wrapped the two cases together because they knew that they could control the narrative that way. Look at how people claim that Carroll "cheated" and cite Bush as "proof".

There may have been LOIC with Mayo, but the Bush case was not an example of that. Neither you nor the NCAA can reasonably expect a school to control what a student's parent does.
