The Trojans Finally got what they deserved

So, the whole Reggie Bush fiasco happened 5 0r 6 years ago, and the NCAA FINALLY decided to punish USC. And to think, I thought the government was slow at acting. The NCAA makes the government look like a cheetah. Fans throughout college football have known that USC cheated for years, but it only took the NCAA 5 years to finally punish them. Unfortunately, the person who should really be punished, Reggie Bush, is enjoying the ridiculous money that comes with being a high pick in the draft. Like most things in life, the people who should be convicted or punished normally are not. It's the company someone worked at, or the school a player attended that feels the impact. The players that are at USC now are the ones who are going to be punished, and I really don't think that its fair to them. Should USC be punished for their part in this? Of course they should, but so should Reggie Bush and what about Pete Carroll? Does he look guilty or what now. He said when he moved to be coach of the Seahawks that it was time to move on. It looks like it was time to move on from what he new would be a huge blow to the USC football program. The other thing that is telling about USC's sports program is the football program was not the only violator; the Trojans basketball team was hit just as hard for OJ Mayo violations.
So the NCAA again gives a warning to future college players: Don't get caught till your out of school, and in the pros!
