Out Of Mississippi
We're getting reports from Mississippi that Tim Floyd remains disillusioned over his departure and frustrated over how it was handled. Now who does he blame? Time will tell. But he clearly feels like he was a victim, no matter what happened.
No.1, Tim, is that you publicly deny any speculative improprities immediately. Did I mention 'immediately.'
Because the longer these rumors 'hang out there' the more "muscle' they retain in this 'up-to-the-minute media age.'
Because if you don't deny these ridiculous accusations i.e that you did not pass on a thousand dollar envelope to the felons that may be, then the felons will argue that it is true.
I doubt USC allowed Floyd to speak much. He did deny the accusations once or twice but I'm sure USC didn't want him in a "he said, she said". His "resignation" agreement may preclude him from speaking but it would be great if he issues one and only one final statement saying he utterly and categorically denies the accusation about him. I am sure he blames SC for not standing up to the NCAA for him but it would be good for his career.
The way this investigation has been handled it is clear that the NCAA is using the investigation itself to punish USC and SC administration doesn't want to feed them in their vendetta. No investigation for isolated issues has been so drawn out, and the NCAA is leaking information about "combining investigations" and "institutional control" while claiming to have absolutely no comment and forbidding others to as well.
When you see how the NCAA has handled black and white issues with current athletes getting money, hustling the system, signing early with agents (and I'm just thinking of one team) or how they let 24 arrests at one team at one school happen and not even an investigation it is obvious the NCAA has an agenda and some people pushing it.

Why doesn't UCLA have any FB players signing with agents to early: NOT GOOD ENOUGH
