Carroll bolts -- so what else is new?

Former USC football coach Pete Carroll thinks he's found Nirvana as the new coach in Seattle.
More power to him. But I'm not convinced.
Why? Four letters - N-C-A-A.
They are hot on the Trojans' heels for two problems with benefits provided to football players. Carroll doesn't want to be anywhere near the program when the NCAA gets finished.
But now that he's gone, there's one person who can explain the rather grotesque lack of oversight in the Trojans' athletic program (The NCAA would like to have some answers about what sort of bennies O.J. Mayo got while on the basketball team.)
The one person is Mike Garrett, the school's athletic director.
Don't hold your breath. His case of laryngitis is into its third month.
