So Pete Carroll and the USC are in some deep $#@!  Petey's super star running back Reggie Bush is reported to have been an ineligible athlete the last two seasons.  Here are a few of the dozens of questions I have....

Is it fair that if Pete Carroll quits once these monster sanctions are dropped that he will just move on to the NFL or another college coaching job while leaving his university in shambles?

I don't think so.  Coaches sanctions should follow them to at least their next college job.  If they can't head coach for a couple years than so be it.

If you were Carroll would you have turned a blind eye to all of Reggie's off field favors?

Maybe so but Carroll took it to a huge extreme.

I am shocked that Petey was letting this Ornstein and his other marketing/agent guys hang out in the locker room.  He had to know who he was and how much rule potential for rule breaking is imminent with an agent in the LOCKERROOM.

But that is just the begining.   Yahoo! reports that this Ornstein was on the sidelines during practice and even at GAMES!!!!  To me that just makes it all the more obvious that Carroll knew something scandalous was going on and turned a blind eye.

Obviously Reggie Bush and his family has to take the majority of responsibility, but I have to put a whale of alot more responisbility on the ol ball coach if he was letting these guys hang around the locker and the field.  This is far from a hear no evil see no evil approach.  This is "hey evil come to the game... chill in the lockerroom."

Here is a question... If Reggie Bush loses his Heisman, should Pete Carroll be stripped of the numerous coach of the year awards he earned the last couple years? My vote at the moment would have to be yes.

Last question?  If even half of these allegations are proven to be true and most importantly Pete Carroll and his staff were letting these guys hang around their players.  How hard should the NCAA penalize the school?

I think they have to be hit pretty hard.  At least three years without a bowl game.  Students should have the option to transfer without sitting out a year since it is not their fault, and you obviously have to drop a hard hammer on the scholarships.  ESPECIALLY if it si true that these agents were hanging around the field and lockerroom all the time.  If it was once or twice and Carroll kicked them out that would be one thing.  But it sounds more like they were around all the time.
