USC's football program has been banned from postseason play for two years and will lose more than 20 scholarships, the Los Angeles Times reports. ESPN's Bruce Feldman first tweeted about the sanctions Wednesday night.My Texas Correspondent will be very unhappy.
School sources were "surprised at the severity and length of penalties," according to Bryan Fischer of USCFootball.com and Rivals. He also wrote that USC has 15 days to decide whether to appeal the sanctions.
It was reported Tuesday that the school could expect sanctions this week, and an article at USCFootball.com on Wednesday claimed that the university had received its NCAA infractions report.
In January, the University of Southern California imposed sanctions on its basketball team after its investigation concluded that the school violated NCAA rules while recruiting former Trojan and current Memphis Grizzly OJ Mayo.

Add me to the list of sad faces with your Texas correspondent. :( :(
BTW, my cousin is now an Ass't Basketball Coach at USC. :)
Best wishes,

I am indeed unhappy. However, I am buoyed with the prospect of Texas joining the "Pac 10." In a sense beating whiny Mack Brown and his Longhorns regularly in conference play will be like going to a bowl game every year!
