USC is doing the right thing by cleaning house of any evidence that reminds the football program it’s on probation. The first obvious move was to give the boot to AD Mike Garrett and his arrogant ways. But in a surprising fashion, USC removed Bush’s replica Heisman trophy from Heritage Hall and is going to return it to the Heisman committee. It still remains to be seen if Bush is required to return his Heisman. At this juncture, USC...
Lane Kiffin’s depth chart continues to shrink as sources indicate USC’s wide receiver Brandon Carswell is transferring to Cincinnati to join former USC teammate Vidal Hazelton. The junior WR is free to transfer without sitting a season per USC’s NCAA sanctions. This is the fourth player in as many days to defect from USC because of the heavy sanctions levied against the team. This isn’t a significant blow for the team as Carswell was very limited in production last...

Rumors are swirling at Tomahawk nation that JUCO transfer and redshirt junior Glen Stanley is already in Florida waiting for USC to release him from his letter of intent. The DE from Ocala, Florida, wasn’t highly recruited out of high school but after a season...
Lane Kiffin did the right thing today by releasing Seantrel Henderson from his national letter of intent with USC. During the recruiting process, the highly sought after high school star had reservations about signing with USC because of the NCAA’s pending investigation during the Carroll days. Henderson was told that USC would not face harsh penalties which ultimately led to his signing with the Trojans. As we all know, the gauntlet fell on Troy which caused Henderson to get...
The Trojan nation is starting to feel the wake of the NCAA’s sanctions on USC. According to the L.A. Times, the latest upperclassman to defect is DE Malik Jackson. The reserve DE packed his bags over the weekend and left Lane Kiffin and Tinseltown for none other than Tennessee. As a result of USC’s infractions, Jackson will not have to sit out the mandatory one season per NCAA transfer rules. He can play immediately. When asked about transferring, Jackson...
When the gauntlet fell on Troy, there was concern regarding player defection. Now it seems no one is safe. The L.A. Times is reporting that USC’s running backs coach Todd McNair is “no longer part of the staff.” McNair has been a staple on the USC sidelines as the running backs coach for the last six seasons. He played an integral part in USC’s sanctions and was ultimately forbidden by the NCAA and the university from contacting recruits going forward. Rather...
