Make that 30

As my colleague Scott Wolf is reporting maniacly on the Inside USC blog, the Trojans were hit harder than even reported yesterday. Thirty scholarships, reducing the max limit to 75 and the per-year to 15. That is absolutely shocking.
When people asked me about the sanctions, I said I thought the one- or two-year bowl ban was about right, and the forfeiture of games, but I don’t think anyone expected those scholarship losses.
Great point by Bruce Feldman on the Scott Van Pelt show today, that I cannot stress enough: USC can no longer take gambles for the next three years on “diamonds in the rough.” The simple scholarship limits alone should incredibly boost UCLA, and there’s really no telling to what extent at this point.
