USC in Trouble over Reggie Bush

University of Southern California lost big time because of Reggie Bush and one of his boosters.

Reggie Bush got USC into major trouble.
The NCAA cited a lack of institutional control, and dished out the harshest penalties to a program in over a decade. Here is a sneak peak at what I wrote for a Tribune four corners commentary to appear in the newspaper tomorrow:
The hammer came down harder than many anticipated – bowl bans, scholarship losses and the BCS championship gone.
Good for the NCAA.
USC had an ineligible player lead it to two national championship games, profiting off his success and building an image of a program that had finally returned to prominence. All the while, agents were skulking around the campus, looking for ways to get in. This was not about Reggie Bush alone. This was about a lack of institutional control that simply cannot be tolerated.
Let this be a warning to programs across the country: nobody is immune to penalties, not even mighty USC. The NCAA could have banned TV time as well, but decided its program-crushing sanctions were enough. The message was sent – another program may get it even worse than the Trojans should the NCAA come knocking.
Do you agree with the punishment?
