More Embarrassment For USC
-
The stench at USC continues to be offensive.
On the heels of the Trojans releasing highly-touted offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson from his letter-of-intent because the prep star didn’t want to attend the school due to sanctions leveled by the NCAA, USC got more bad news today. The athletic program was forced to apologize to 5 schools it had accused of illegally trying to entice freshman running back Dillon Baxter to transfer.
Athletic Director Mike Garrett, who’s seat got a bit hotter, sent a letter of apology to Florida, acknowledging that Baxter had lied about the Gators asking him to consider transferring.
Officials at ‘Bama, Oregon, Fresno State and Washington, where former SC offensive coordinator Steve Sarkisian is head coach, said they also received letters of apology.
For USC Coach Lane Kiffin, it adds another embarrassing item to his checkered resume. Though Kiffin had nothing to do with USC landing on probation, the Baxter soap opera comes under his watch. The irony is it involves another false accusation against Florida.
At Tennessee, Kiffin made allegations (later proven to be inaccurate) that Florida Coach Urban Meyer had illegal pursued one of his signees, wide receiver Nu’Keese Richardson. Kiffin was forced to apologize to Meyer.
And if that isn’t enough, Richardson was one of several Tennessee players arrested last November for armed robbery.
