I'll grant you that. No, we dont want you to be their big brother watching everything they do and everyone they talk to, but at least for your BIG time talent, you have to be aware that agents and boosters are going to TRY to get close to them. To claim ignorance is intentional naiivete and we will not stand for it.

How about that? I know I know though (I KNOW), I should have said 'hadn't even heard of'. Whatever. I didn’t know that you were such a tool until now, either. How about that?

McKnight was declared ineligible for spring practice after dropping too many classes and falling below the NCAA's minimum number of credit hours per semester. Carroll insists McKnight will be back in time for preseason camp, but this latest development isn't a great sign he'll be at USC for the duration of his career.

USC fans should be pissed off to high hell about this. I know I would be if it happened at ND. If they aren't pissed and they are making excuses like you state, they don't really have a clue. I heard one defense from USC is the "Wooden Defense." It goes something like this: John Wooden made sure his players got taken care of while at UCLA so you Bruins fans should shut up. Nevermind that John Wooden has been out of basketball for 30-some years. How about this one, USC fans? It seemed to work for you before: The grass was too high which led OJ Mayo to take $200,000 in benefits before turning pro. Well said, mq. USC fans should be pissed off to high hell about this.
