NCAA Appoints Special Investigator to Study USC
LOS ANGELES- Today the NCAA announced a special investigation into the alleged Reggie Bush and OJ Mayo improprieties. Both former USC standouts are accused of taking money and benefits while at the school.
Myles Brand, head of the NCAA, stated, “We take these allegations very seriously. The NCAA has come under increased scrutiny in regards to our policing of student-athletes. My hope is that people will finally see that we mean business.”
When asked who would be leading up the investigation, Brand was evasive, but did offer a sketch of the special investigator.
When asked to comment Pete Carroll said, “We are scared as hell about this investigation. The NCAA has gone out of its way to bring in a ruthless third party investigator. Man, those guys at the NCAA really mean business.”
OJ Mayo and Reggie Bush were not available for comment.

Wertzy,
Are you a spammer?
I don’t know what the problem is. I banned a bunch of IP addresses over the weekend and may have gotten yours by accident. But if that were the case, how would you have posted the previous comment?
Do you know what IP address you are trying to post from? Does your work have some firewall?

There might be some firewall, but I thought I was shouting last week before the attack.
I am accessing from my work laptop via my home wireless connection: I will email you that IP and see if I can get my work IP. (*I would rather not post it here, or I will be spamacked.

“My hope is that people will finally see that we mean business.”
Did he just say this investigation is just a PR front? The hope should be that USC’s athletes don’t get paid anymore.
Carroll’s comments also sound contrived. Like, “Hmm…make this fake investigation sound really scary so that when nothing surfaces we’re free and clear.” Maybe he really is scared, but someone should monitor the bank account of the investigator for safe measure.
