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

blaming this on celebrities on the sideline and the ncaa not liking that is a red herring.

reggie bush received hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits while at usc. the agent who gave him that money, he met him in the usc lockerroom. i just dont see how usc didn't know. and if they didnt know its because they wanted to keep their head in the sand. the real recruiting advantage usc had during carroll's tenure was reggie bush - on magazines with sports cars and parents living in million dollar house.
