Stand Down: Delayed USC Report Delayed Again

Try and prepare yourselves for a very serious shock. That report from the NCAA, on USC's violations and possible sanctions, that was scheduled for release later this week? It's been pushed back to later this month. (And by "this month," the brass that be could very well simply mean "May," and leave the year nonspecific in case the need arises for further wiggle room).

EDSBS has a very handy graph of the likely outcomes here. Pepper Brooks says, "I feel shocked." Conquest Chronicles says they'll "be happy when it is finally over regardless of the outcome." We (and I'm speaking for the human race here) could not agree more.

Does the NCAA have a secret stake in the blogosphere? Are they dragging this out to wring more ad dollars out of exasperated pageviews? Stay tuned.
