"For the most part, Southern Cal makes a fantastic case. In the vast majority of the allegations they denied, the NCAA clearly had a weak case – often based solely on the comments of a single source who was anything but unimpeachable. USC drives the point home that the NCAA has failed to meet their own requirements for evidence, referencing previous NCAA investigations into other programs to prove their point."You can always tell which fan has read through at least part of the materials involved with the case, by their opinion. If they haven't bothered to read anything, they insist USC cheated; if they did read at least portions of it, they come to believe USC was railroaded
I can imagine years from now, USC's fight will become a popular case study, highlighting what went wrong with the NCAA's Committee on Infractions and the Appeals Committee, and further out, it will hold a special hate relationship in the hearts of Trojans on par with ND and UCLA.

As a current USC student I can say without a doubt the sanctions hurt students and fans, who had absolutely nothing to do with what may have happened, the most. There was absolutely no reason to ban us from TWO post seasons. Some NCAA idiot definitely had to be the first to suggest it. I'd like to see them come forward and defend how that is going to prevent cheating.
