The Joe McKnight saga took another twist on Thursday. After staying back in Los Angeles while the team traveled to San Francisco for the Emerald Bowl due to questions about whether a Land Rover he was seen driving was provided by a booster, McKnight was back practicing with the team on Thursday, according to the LA Times.
USC has been investigating McKnight’s case since the LA Times broke the story, and head coach Pete Carroll said that while the university’s compliance officer has yet to make a ruling, allowing McKnight to travel to San Francisco and practice with the team was certainly a favorable sign.
SBN’s Conquest Chronicles points out that McKnight’s case is complicated by the fact that the alleged booster is the boss of McKnight’s girlfriend, and makes proving any violations difficult. For continuing coverage and analysis, head over to Conquest Chronicles.
