UPDATE: The USC football team has been stripped of its 2004 national championship victory and must vacate its entire 2005 season, according to ESPN's Bruce Feldman.
Describing the NCAA sanctions, a school official said "we got killed" earlier in the day.
EARLIER:
USC's football program has been banned from postseason play for two years and will lose more than 20 scholarships, the Los Angeles Times reports. ESPN's Bruce Feldman first tweeted about the sanctions Wednesday night.
"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives." Winter is Coming Now this is the Law of the Jungle—as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die. As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
