“We have no idea how long this investigation will continue, and no one is more anxious to bring this process to a conclusion than we are, but we remain committed to getting to the truth,” he (Todd Dickey, senior vice president for administration) said in the video.
“I, we, take these allegations very seriously. People who say that we have something to protect are partially right. What we have to protect is the integrity of the athletic department. And that means doing this right. And that is what we are doing,” he (athletic director Mike Garrett) said.
If the NCAA decides that USC violated rules, the football program may have to forfeit victories from the 2004 and 2005 seasons and face additional penalties. The Trojans won the national championship in 2004 and lost in the BCS title game against Texas the following season.
If Bush is found retroactively ineligible, he could lose his Heisman. He now plays for the New Orleans Saints.
Floyd’s resignation capped a rocky couple of months for the basketball program since the season ended. Starters DeMar DeRozan, Taj Gibson and Daniel Hackett, along with Marcus Johnson, have declared for the upcoming NBA draft, and the Trojans have lost six recruits.
The latest to leave is Lamont Jones, a guard from Oak Hill Academy in Mouth of Wilson, Va., who asked for and was granted a release from his letter of intent, the university said Thursday.
Derrick Williams, a forward from nearby La Mirada High, is in the process of seeking a release from his scholarship.

Just to give u guys a lesson in football USC has won back to back championships in 2003-2004. They went the national championship in 2005 only to lose to Texas by a great drive by Vince Young the crybaby. Since then USC has been on top of the PAC-10 for the next 5 yrs straight. ... Florida State was a good team but that was when Bobby Bowden was a good coach. He is now a mediocre coach at best. ... There has never been a team like USC who HAS BEATEN every top team in their conference for the last 6 years or so under Pete Carroll. ... Watch out for Washington this year though, they maybe the sleeper team in PAC-10 with Jake Locker at the helm and new heach coach Steve Sarkisian on the sidelines. Just watch out.
