USC could (should) lose 2004 Title

So who wins it then? Does it go to Oklahoma who got stomped in that game, or do you give it to Auburn, the team many thought was the best team that year?
 
I don't think the BCS title would go to anyone, but the AP could possible revote the way they did for ROY in football recently.

I would give it to Auburn for sure.
 
If there was ever a case for lack of instituional control this should be it (2 major sports concurrently having issues). But it is USC and nothing meaningful will come of it.

Reducing scholarships a couple of years would just be a blip -- I think they should ineligible to play on TV and have to forfeit revenue. Now that would hurt.
 
Definetely should be Auburn if they give it out to anyone else. I agree with above though, I'd be surprised if the NCAA actually did anything meaningful about it other than talk.
 
I don't think they should take it away, its not going to change anything. In my opinion, there needs to be some statute of limitations on these type of things. The NCAA has a clearinghouse that is supposed to make sure all student-athletes are eligible before they enter school and they do these investigations that take years to complete. If Reggie Bush is living in a house paid for by some pseudo-agent, they should be able to determine that before the next season is over, if not, the NCAA is SOL. Same with Derrick Rose and his test scores. It's like calling for a replay, you have until the next play, after that you have to live with the call.
 
They should keep the title. The NCAA needs to put the clamps on schools that look the other way when it comes to agents/boosters/money..

I don't think any of Iowa's players could look coach in the face and tell him they are living off campus in a million $$ home.

Why ban the school? Ban Pete Carrol or the Coaches from football for looking the other way. Every Coach should know where his players live, especially Reggie Bush

So if I rob a bank, but don't get caught until after I leave the bank, I should go free? How do you deter anyone from cheating if there are no consequences? If you are going to have rules inforce them, if not, don't have the rules.
 
I vote for the option #3, that's a dirty *** program and should have any title, wins,etc wiped off the record for the years they were cheating.
 
I've never understood this, taking away wins/titles after the fact. People watched the game and saw USC win, that's how they will remember it regardless of that the NCAA says.
