USC meets with NCAA Infractions Committee

It has been reported that former USC head football coach Pete Carroll and USC's Athletic Director, Mike Garrett, met with the NCAA Infractions Committee yesterday, today, and will likely again meet tomorrow. The meetings are taking place in Tempe, Arizona. It may take several months for sanctions, if any, to be levied against USC. The PAC 10 Commissioner stated that he did not believe major sanctions would fall upon USC. The NCAA is looking into alleged extra benefits possibly received by Reggie Bush and O.J. Mayo while they were both student-athletes at USC. However, it has been reported that the NCAA is looking into whether USC knew, or should have known, about these alleged extra benefits. If so, the sanctions would likely be much more severe for USC. However, USC will likely appeal any major sanction brought by the NCAA and a final resolution of this matter could be quite some time from now.
