Not Everyone Is Criticizing USC

Rather than totally criticizing USC for the recent infractions, I strongly believe the Trojan athletic department should have been given high marks for taking forceful and decisive, although I’m sure painful, action in the Russ Purnell case to preserve the integrity of the university.

I believe it is naive for anyone to think that any university, or corporation for that matter, has total control of the daily activities of all its employees. If that were the case, no one would ever get fired.
