AP: Southern California has received a two-year bowl ban and a sharp loss of football scholarships in a report on the NCAA’s four-year investigation of the school.

The NCAA cited USC for a lack of institutional control Thursday in its long-awaited report, which detailed numerous violations primarily involving Heisman Trophy-winning tailback Reggie Bush and men’s basketball player O.J. Mayo.

The NCAA found that Bush, identified as a “former football student-athlete,” was ineligible beginning at least by December 2004 and through Bush’s Heisman-winning 2005 season, which ended with the Trojans’ loss to Texas in the 2006 Rose Bowl.

USC will lose 10 football scholarships annually from 2011-13. The Trojans also received four years of probation.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP’s earlier story is below.

  1. And Pete Carroll is just doing fine at his new gig. It’s a shame how the ones responsible can skate the consequences and move on to greener pastures while their school gets their legs taken out from underneath them.

  2. Yeah. The WeAreSC site pretty much tore him and Bush new assholes over all that today. They are no longer the Gods of Troy. Bwaa Haww Haww! RTR!
