I don't buy that USC will get in any trouble with the NCAA. If anything they will punish themselves and that will be it. They may end up giving the AD the boot but I don't see any sort of "hammer" being dropped on them in the near future.
I think Carroll leaving is a self-imposed sanction. They found a way to get him out and make it look like it had nothing to do with the NCAA.
there was a report s couple of weeks ago that said USC would self-impose sanctions for some violations.
Does anybody think Carroll is leaving for anything other than NCAA violations?
