PSA to Pat Haden

As long as the NCAA is allowed to hand down sanctions, a window that is rapidly closing, Kevin Bacon shows what it's like to be a USC fan.  Ohio St. has no gripe.  Their coach openly lied for a season and still conned the NCAA into allowing that Sugar Bowl farce.  Oregon should have gotten much worse for literally writing checks out of the athletic department to recruitment runners.  Penn State was raping children.  Miami was aborting stripper's fetuses, paying players in the locker room, providing houses, boats, drugs & hookers to players - all while the AD Paul Dee, coincidentally the head of the Committee on Infractions that told USC that we "should have known" about Reggie's stepdad in San Diego, was accepting checks from these very same boosters at midfield pregame.  35 total scholarships lost for these egregious violations at all of these schools combined in comparison to 30 for Reggie's shady stepdad.  Really let that sink in.

I just have one question for Pat Haden at this point, "What do you have to lose in suing the NCAA?" You can put off next year's 10 less scholarships for at least 2 years through litigation with any lawyer worth his salt.  Also, I was hoping that would be YOU.  During those 2 years, McNair's case will become public record and you will be able to show the multiple ways USC was maliciously attacked by the Committee on Infractions.  The new coach of USC will be able to take about 30 recruits to replenish this rapidly depleted team.  Would you rather the new coach hit the ground running or languish with less numbers (and wins) for 1 or 2 years?  It seems pretty cut and dry at this point. The NCAA has no legs to stand on for not reducing USC's sanctions, and they know it.  The fact that we need Mike Garrett back just so that someone will fight for our cause is mind-boggling to me.  Ed O'Bannon started the destruction of the NCAA's legacy, Jay Bilas brought it to the forefront, and now it is your job to finish it.
