Wow. Good for them! Southern Cal is really coming on of late and started Pac-10 play 2-0.

Could you imagine the outrage of the BU season ticket holders if Bradley announced that mid-season? I mean yeah you get to watch the players develop but they are essentially playing for nothing.

Well, I am sure some would say nothing was our fault and that we did nothing wrong. However, if we did what USC did I don't think season ticket holders (myself included) would have much of a gripe with the school; rather my anger would be targeted at the people responsible.
However, at BU we don't have to worry about no postseason, because all that would do is prevent us from going to some meaningless tournament we can't win.

I'm with BB on this one too. . .I actually hope that BU does not accept playing in the CBI or CIT this year, as that would be rewarding disappointment.
I was all for them the past two years because I believed they would pay greater dividends for this season and next. Not to return to those events.

Well they wouldn't be playing for entirely nothing. USC is still playing for the Pac-10 championship, which is essentially up for grabs anyway.

Oh that's right, I forgot it was just for the Conference tourney and NCAA. Oh well, something to distract my mind from our sinking team LOL.

but therein lies the deception, here......
they know they have the chance to be good this year, so they impose nothing for this year...
everything is imposed for next year, when they expect to be down..(they lose at least 3 starters).
this is exactly what Indiana did, self impose a bunch of stuff onto their own program all to take place
during a single season when they knew they'd be really bad anyway, then as part of a likely
pre-arragned deal with NCAA...when the NCAA finally rules in the next century...they will feel sorry for USC
like they did for Indiana and say the program is already in a sorry state, so it would be unfair to actually impose
any more penalties, even though the ones they self imposed aren't all that severe.
Note no TV bans, and the rest are minor...a few hours of recruiting bans and loss of ONE single scholarship
that can easily be solved by yanking the scholarship from rapper Lil Romeo.
That's not accurate. The postseason ban is for this year, not next.
Exactly! They are sacrificing their basketball program for the big money football team. It really is a no brainer.

The NCAA should allow a transfer and no loss of a year for situations like this IMO.

First - this is all imposed by USC itself...and NCAA has yet to act...so it isn't likely they'd unilaterally rule on such an issue of players transferring when they haven't even investigated, ruled, or penalized USC in any way....
Right now, the NCAA is simply standing by acting interested, while USC does all this all by itself....and I guarantee the NCAA then won't penalize USC and will claim they did enough to themselves and let USC off scott-free.
LOTS OF SCHOOLS, even Bradley (in 2005) HAVE BEEN hit with sanctions after a finding by NCAA of a major violations........
should any and all Bradley players and players from other such schools also have been allowed
to "transfer and no loss of a year"?
Actually, the NCAA does sometimes allow it (as they did at Baylor but that was when the program was nearly shut down).
