The really funny or sad part to all this is that all the cheating has paid off for USC. So they lose the trophy and went on probation for a couple of years. By cheating, they have become one of the most powerful programs in college football. They were just another program until Pete Carroll took over. They started cheating bigtime and now USC is one of the most powerful programs in the country. Their recruiting has been hurt little if at all during probation because kids remember when USC won that National Championship and how good USC was during those years. Those years are imprinted in many kids brains and they WANT to play for USC. They don't care if the program was or is dirty...they just want a chance to play for USC.
Cheating does pay off bigtime for the bigtime programs. A little probation is not going to slow down USC or osu or Texas. The cheating is produced the programs they are today, espcially at the level they are at. Those teams got SO much exposure from the cheating that kids all over the country want to play for them.
Could probably trade it for some pretty sweet tats.Maybe the BCS folks will put the trophy up on ebay. What else are they going to do with it?
