Does anyone else think USC cheats like with Reggie Bush?

I don't watch a lot of college football, more of an NFL fan myself, but being from Souther California USC is obviously always a topic here. Still each time I watch them and here about all these talented players who want to come and play for USC, even if they are behind 3 players on the depth chart, makes me believe there is definitely something wrong with this situation. I know players want to be on national championship teams and since USC plays in probably the 2nd worst BCS conference in college football and doesn't have a championship game it makes some sense.. yet I still don't completely buy it.

Speaking of buying it... what ever happened to the Reggie Bush situation? Is USC that popular and do they have that much money that it just got pushed under the rug? I have a couple rich friends who went to USC, not for football, and had terrible grades coming out of high school. I asked them how they were able to get in and they said straight up that their parents paid additional money, donations as they put it, for them to get in so I guess I won't put anything by them.

Anyway it is a sad time for college football.. don't see it improving so I guess I will continue to watch the teams I like and nothing else because there isn't any point.

    I think they payed Reggie Bush while he was in school.

    I think most teams are that are any good do the same thing, but they don't get caught. You think Laurinitis goes to class? Or takes serious classes?

    You think Percy Harvin at Florida actually ever studies?

    NO!

    Remember Oklahoma got caught cheating with Rhett Bomar like two years back?

    And Florida State with the shoe scandal or whatever?

    I think only a few teams actually have academic standards (Stanford, Duke, Notre Dame, Vandy, and those types of schools).

    Yeah, I think they somewhat have an unfair advantage because Pete Caroll redshirts most of his best players, so that they still play for USC, even 1 or 2 years after they graduate, which is just plain wrong!
