Floyd resigns as USC coach
http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=4246625

Close call for the Arizona Wildcats.

LOS ANGELES -- Tim Floyd suddenly resigned as basketball coach at
Southern California on Tuesday following allegations that he give
$1,000 in cash to a man who helped steer former star player
O.J. Mayo to the Trojans.

Floyd submitted a one-paragraph letter to USC athletic director
Mike Garrett saying he was quitting after four seasons because
he no longer had full enthusiasm for his job.

"I accept Tim's decision and wish him well," Garrett said in a statement.

The Clarion-Ledger of Jackson, Miss., first reported Floyd's resignation.
He is from Hattiesburg.

1. By the way, what ever happend to the "investigation" into violations by
Pete Carroll with Reggie Bush and Matt Leinert? Hmmmm...seems like the NCAA doesn't want to find out the that the Hairdresser is a cheat.

2. Isn't the Reggie Bush situation in litigation...
...basically this guy gave Bush's family hundreds of thousands of dollars with the intent to be his manager once he graduated, then the family stiffed him.

3. Wasn't Floyd being wooed by some NBA team some months back?
I bet he's kicking himself, now.
