— Pete Carroll gets laughs at NCAA's expense - ESPN When you look back on it you can see that it was never about extra benefits for Bush or Mayo. It wasn't about a tennis players extra telephone calls or dinners at the Taverna or an extra coach. USC was dominant under Pete Carroll and overtly had fun doing it. He opened it up to the masses for all to see and celebrate. The NCAA didn't like that. The NCAA let tOSU off, They will let the Carolina schools off and they will let Miami and Oregon off...all because they showed or will show some fake contrition. I am not saying that USC was squeaky clean, but it is clear the NCAA cares far less about players doing wrong when it comes to NCAA bylaws than the image they want to portray. An image that is a sham....
