If you can ball, they can always pull a few strings for you. What does it matter what the kids academics are, he's going to be taking pre-algebra, women's studies and under water basket weaving for his one year at school.

He won't be at USC long enough to even take his first year final exams!

One-and-Done's are a joke.

Way to make a mockery of "College" Athletics. Mayo, Love, Beasley, Rose...this is killing college basketball but the NBA is loving it

cha-ching

it's not the players fault.....these idiot university people try to make money out of everything...just like they know that these players are one and done why complain after....

Gariboy, I thought we had an understanding? Irish-haters have been relentless so you felt the need for some get-back?

Anyways, to make kids have to go to college for one year is wrong. Especially, as Sonny Vaccaro pointed out, when a European/Chinese kid can come to the USA after high school and go straight to the NBA.

I'm a fan of that pic ^^^^^^^^^^^ Sept 13 will be SJ's coming out party.

arejaydub...I always respect (don't always agree with) your comments and unlike many people on these sights that bash schools they hate for any reason at all (ie Charlie's weight, the Pope, priests, etc) I have great respect for USC. I am just not a big fan of Tim Floyd. Your beloved institution deserves better.

And this occuring right after Notre Dame released a starting senior for not making grades.

A USC student athlete (I know it's hard not to laugh) struggling with academics? SHOCKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG USC got a top notch recruit into their school!!! That's unheard of

USC is going to keep violating until they are busted

I'm tired of the NFL's sucking up to LA. Hell, Los Angeles is a two-time NFL loser. And still, the NFL keeps schmoozing and blowing in its ear.

Screw LA.

THIS IS SO NOT the same thing. A senior and a incoming Freshman.
