If, allegedly, and possibly? ESPN Ted Miller wrote, "It's become an accepted fact among informed college football observers that the NCAA sanctions against USC were a travesty of justice, and the NCAA's refusal to revisit that travesty are [sic] a massive act of cowardice on the part of the organization." Notice Ted Miller only talks about the sanctions and not the findings by the NCAA nor does he attempt to clear Cheatin' Pete. If you read the linked articles, especially the one that references the NCAA findings, its pretty clear Cheatin' Pete knew. |

Notice Ted Miller only talks about the sanctions and not the findings by the NCAA nor does he attempt to clear Cheatin' Pete. If you read the linked articles, especially the one that references the NCAA findings, its pretty clear Cheatin' Pete knew. I didn't see anything showing Pete had knowledge Reggie's family had received benefits from a third party. USC basketball had clearly gone chip kelly, that's without dispute. Nothing to this day has come out showing any USC football players during the Pete era were bribed in any way to become Trojans. Maybe what you're referring to is Pete's knowledge of summer internships with sporting agents? If so, there's no evidence they were paid anything but normal summer internship wages for the few who took those jobs and there was nothing(to my understanding) that was technically illegal about the players holding such internships at the time. In spite the lack of evidence I just don't see the need for PC to do anything he thought would be a major NCAA violation. Unlike many other places, he could land the talent he wanted at USC without resorting to unnecessary risks a place like oregon is willing to take because they aren't USC, aren't in L.A., don't have the tradition, or the talent needed to win within 100 miles of campus. Just look at UCLA, they don't have anywhere near the tradition, or recent success and still manage to be a top 15 recruiter on a regular basis. Pete's crime was winning in dominating fashion over SEC, B12, and B10 schools, having fun doing it, and the number of stars frequenting the sidelines making for a made for t.v. atmosphere top recruits from across the country would want to be a part of. That made a lot of people angry and something had to be done about it. |
