How The Mighty Have Fallen

For too long we'veheard too much about how superior some are, how their destiny demands respect, howtheir work ethics and morals rise above the competition and will allow them to once again stroll towards victory.

Well, oh how the mighty have fallen, and I'm not talking about the thugs on the U.S. Olympic Basketball team.

Rather, it looks like Pete Carroll's much lauded USC team has gotten itself into an old fashion NebraskMiamiBamaFloridaStateOklahomaColorado type of sex scandal.

At least one member of the top-ranked Southern California football team is under investigation for sexual assault, the Los Angeles Police Department said Tuesday.

The assault allegedly occurred Monday morning, according to Officer Esther Reyes, a police spokeswoman.

"[Tuesday] the rape special section of LAPD's robbery division began conducting an investigation into the allegation of a sexual assault that may involve a member or members of the USC football team," Reyes said.

Hmm, I wonder if the holier than thou powers to be at USC will do the right thing?
