Cameron, who is a junior, will redshirt this season and return to the basketball team next season and earn her degree while Leinart plays for the Arizona Cardinals.

congrats to Matt and Brynn

Happy said:

We get it! Now stop covering the 2005 season. You need to move on, we all need to turnover a new leaf- Arkansas is four days away and that is all you need to worry about!

Fight On!

CaliFB said:

I hope they raise a wonderful child and future great USC QB or a USC women basketball player.

What about Paris?

I'm sure this was just an "accident". I thought the way Matt had treated Brynn was pretty bad...maybe Matt's the new Shawn Kemp (a love child in every town he visits).

what does paris think of all this

Paris H. said:

What!

Ben said:

Awwwww Little Matty is continuing to grow up right before "our" eyes.....Hey Matty, "Way to go!"

DAVID said:

Confucious say: "He who forgets to wear helmet will change diaper next season."

Congratulations Matt!

Dude, we kid around with you alot but we will always remember your amazing career at SC & the National Championship rings you wear. I have a son too and I know he'll change your life for the better.

Now the important question: Will you name him Reggie? Dwayne? Or Troy? How about baby Pete Leinert? Or Chow Leinert. Sunny Bird Leinert. hmmm. JK Leinert...

Get the SC scholarship ready. I betcha this kid will be at least 6'6 and will be the starter at QB in the fall 2024.

Mike said:

Sure hope the baby doesn't have any of Paris Hilton's features.

Davey said:

I don't know where Matt's head is right now being a rookie in the NFL and hanging with Paris and his Hollywood friends, but I hope he steps up to this resposibility.

Despite the contant rhetoric and backhanded humor that is constantly directed at him by Mr. Wolf, Matt's a pretty good guy overall and has handled a ton of attention better than most 20-22-year-olds. I don't like to see him going Hollywood but it is his life and it's his business... until now.

The party is over Matt. Step up and be a man, this could be the best thing that ever happens to you if you do the right things.

Ray said:

Dude, I had to look at the calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1st. I mean, not like their personal lives are any of our business... especially not any more, now that Matt is no longer in the program. Having said that... wow. No wonder he was holding out for more money. Baby formula aint cheap anymore.

Seriously, though, if it's true, the very best for them and the child. Real life is more important that throwing snipes in sports blogs.

Jay said:

It's a bit ironic this all evolves after Leinart signs a big NFL contract.

I bet the baby belongs to Desmond Farmer before Matty.

Sidenote: Leinart looked real good last game!

Great job "Lame-heart"....you blew it dude!

There goes your life.....

BTW, I like your song Kanye (K West).

FDOG said:

Here's a little tip for Big Matt.

Get a DNA test and make Rudy Carpenter pay all the bills.

In checking with the NCAA, scholarship athletes are not to be given any perks, gifts, extras, etc. Anything produced by a scholarship athletes belong to USC. If declined by USC, then the NCAA takes position. Congrats go to USC....FIGHT ON MIGHTY TROY

JJH4USC said:

Nice move Matty! Do you hear that...cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching...that is the sound of Byrnn Cameron cashing in her winning lottery ticket.

Now Wolfie, can we please move on to more pressing issues, summer is over and there are only 4 more days left until Game Day!!!!!!!!!

trojan pal said:

How DO you do?

How DID THEY (Leinart and Cameron] DO back in February?

Maybe Matty should have taken a sex education class his last semester at USC, rather than ballroom dancing.

You'd THINK with Matty's high profile PR and Agent
firm that they would have anticipated all of this and had some prepared statement ready to go--especially if the mother of the coming Scorpio is NO LONGER his girlfriend!

I have heard of many reasons for red-shirting, but Wolfie isn't this the FIRST: red-shirt not for an injury but for being pregnant?

Maybe Matty was able to negotiate a higher signing bonus to provide for his son, and maybe a future wife. And good tax planning: having the kid in 2006 and another tax deduction!

Inquiring minds want to know.

Oh yeah, and Matty paying child support....is there any NCAA violation against this? Providing food and comfort and housing for a USC female basketball player, with child?

gillyking said:

Yo K! You're about as absurd as the real K! and...the ignorance of your previous post definitely disqualifies you from becoming "special K".
What a turd!

Bob said:

If this is true,,I wish them the best in the future. I resent people tying this in with money and Matt's NFL career. Thats the same as calling her a prostitute which is really low class! This is not a laughing matter, people should take this much more seriously,,espcially that laughing cow Petros!

Bill in NorCal said:

As they say in Italy, Matt hit the bullseye.

Elizabeth said:

I wish them all the best. It's pretty sad that people are attacking Byrnn, please remember that she's a young college student and is expecting a child. I'm sure she's under enough stress without the extra attention.

This is not a one person deal, both parents played equal roles in the situation. How may USC football players have children? There seems to be a double-standard between male and female athletes who become parents.

BTW, it is not the first time a female college athlete has redshirted due to pregnancy. It may be a first ar USC, but it's not a first ever. And No, it will not be against NCAA regulations for her to receive appropriate support for the child.

Plus, it's really none of our business. Let's get back to football!

Steve Mexico said:

Well he could have done worse. Where did you hear about this? I can't anymore news anywhere? Well, hoped he takes responsibility and mans up.

Jimmy said:

Matt Leinart is a loser.

Does Vince Young have any illegitimate kids running around? NO.

Vince wins in more ways than one!

Go Horns.

Knuckles said:

Matt impregnated me as well, the night before.

Ashton said:

Yo Matty!

You been Punk'd fo real!

Dumbass!

LOL!

Ray said:

I agree with Elizabeth's post. And I also think we've had enough "fun" with this topic, in my humble opinion.

We are in those murk waters of what is newsworthy and what isn't; what is ethical and what is borderline sleazy. Sure, People magazine may be running an article, but does that mean this is newsworthy? In a blog like this, I care more about how true freshmen are going to handle 72,000 rabid fans in Arkansas than the personal lives of a suddenly-rich rookie quaterback and a girl who not long ago was a minor and now has to deal with the issue of instant motherhood.

Come on, Scott -- this is your blog, you get to call the shots, but can I put in a vote to erase this topic from the board? At least for the young lady's sake...

ironic that Matt of USC would forget to use his Trojan

ELLIOT said:

WAY TO GO MATT! ITS TIME TO MAN UP.
KEEP FOCUS AND STAY AWAY FROM PARIS HILTON.

YOUR LUCKY IT WAS NOT PARIS THAT GOT PREGNANT!

Bob said:

I can believe these posts,,,these are not Trojan fan,, they are just idiots!!!

frank said:

i think the trojan fans who don't want to see this article posted are just upset because the image of their golden boy is getting fainter and fainter.

i feel for the young lady but i think she's in a decent position (better than 99% of other young women who get knocked up by their BFs)

brandon ting said:

Dude, just don't let Matt's dad around the kid and everything will be fine. That guy is a menace.

Melissa said:

Congrats Matt and Brynn! Just don't stress out! Thanks 4 the autograph matt your my favorite athlete.
