jsneb83 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Looks like USC is back to their cheating ways. USC has been fined and reprimanded by the Pac-12 after it was discovered that one of the Trojans' student managers had intentionally deflated game balls during the first half of Saturday's loss to Oregon.There are several things wrong with taking game balls below their normal, NCAA-regulated levels – there's a reason the NCAA and its officials keeps close tabs on the amount of air in the game-used footballs. "Game officials discovered and re-inflated three of the balls before the game and two others at halftime. All balls were regulation in the second half," read a statement from USC. ... USC announced late Wednesday that it had fired that student manager responsible for deflating the footballs. Quite simply, and as you might think, a slightly deflated football is easier to grip. As a result, a football that's easier to grip is easier to throw, catch and hold. A football that's easier to throw, catch and hold is often a football that ends up getting spiked in the end zone.

HuskerFanChuck Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 That was my thought. Because the student manager wasn't doing EXACTLY what someone else told him to do. o.O Quote Link to comment

RedRedJarvisRedwine Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 PAC 12 reprimanded and fined the school! I wonder what "on probation" means in PAC 12 country. As far as I'm concerned, if it is proven that USC was complicit in this heinous act, they should get the death penalty! Quote Link to comment

Scarlet Overkill Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Now I'm hearing he had at least one player swapping jerseys at half-time during a game. What a douche! I hope he stays there a long time - Lame couldn't happen to a nicer school. Quote Link to comment
