Southern California has apologized to Florida, Alabama and Washington for accusing those schools of breaking NCAA rules by contacting one of the Trojans’ players without permission.
In a letter dated July 1 and addressed to Florida athletic director Jeremy Foley, USC AD Mike Garrett says freshman running back Dillon Baxter confirmed to Garrett that the player “did not receive a call from your institution.”
The letter to Foley was obtained by The Associated Press. Spokesmen for Alabama and Washington also confirmed Wednesday that their athletic directors received apology letters from USC.
ESPN.com reported USC filed a complaint with the Pac-10 in June about several schools tampering with Baxter after the Trojans were hit with NCAA sanctions.
