Tim Floyd Resigns

Huge news is coming out of Southern California, by way of Mississippi. Tim Floyd, the head basketball coach at the University of Southern California, has suddenly and shockingly resigned from his position. While Floyd and the Trojans of USC had been under investigation for some time following allegations that they gave illegal gifts and monetary compensation to agents of O.J. Mayo, the resignation was quite a shock to the college basketball world. Floyd had been silent about the matter up until this point, and most basketball experts figured that the allegations would be at the very least contested by the coach. Instead, he submitted a one paragraph letter to the Athletic Director at USC.

What does this all mean? Is this a kind of indictment of Floyd’s guilt? Or did the pressure of the investigation, despite his innocence, lead Floyd to lose interest in basketball? Will USC’s basketball program be hindered by this in any way? Let’s hope that justice is served and that no innocent person or group will undergo unfair punishment.
