Column: In the wake of news that his program endorsed the admittance of fake athletes, it’s time for USC to retire Lynn Swann and find a real athletic director, writes BillPlaschke.
It seems like the problem isn’t with what Swann did. It’s with what he didn’t do. It boggles the mind what he didn’t do.
Three were fake football players, including a “kicker’’ who had no idea how to kick and a long-snapper who never played in high school. Seriously? Football is Swann’s main responsibility and he never looks at who is being admitted as a football player? It doesn’t feel like a coincidence that most of the bribed admissions occurred in non-revenue sports, including water polo, lacrosse and crew. It’s entirely possible that Swann just ignored those teams entirely.Full coverage: Dozens charged — including Hollywood actresses — in connection with college admissions scheme »
Sorry, you can’t play that card here. The victims are the deserving kids who were rejected from your school because of spots taken by the entitled phonies. The victims are Southern Californians so invested in your school through your sports teams that they have made “Fight On’’ a mantra for their lives.
