LOS ANGELES (AP) -Southern California’s men’s basketball team has escaped any further action by the NCAA, five months after the university banned itself from postseason play and vacated its victories during O.J. Mayo’s lone season.
The NCAA on Thursday banned USC’s football team from bowl games for two years, placed the program on four years’ probation and took away 30 scholarships for improper benefits to former Heisman Trophy-winning running back Reggie Bush.
Basketball coach Kevin O’Neill says he’s glad the NCAA didn’t impose further punishment on his program, and that he’s looking forward to the future.
Former coach Tim Floyd, who is now coaching at UTEP, quit last June, after he was accused of giving cash to a middleman who helped steer Mayo to USC.
