Another loss for USC after investigation, sanctions

NCAA Football Betting Lines

08/26/2010 - Dallas, TX (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of Southern California has been stripped of the 2004 Grantland Rice Trophy it received in recognition for winning the national football title.

The award was revoked by the Football Writers Association of America, which has also decided not to fill the vacated spot and to bar the Trojans from consideration for the award following the 2010 season.

The group's members could not come to a consensus on a replacement for USC and the newly created vacancy will be the first since the award's inception in 1954.

"All finalists for FWAA team and individual awards, including the Grantland Rice Award and Trophy, reasonably are presumed to have been in material compliance with certain qualifying standards at the time of award issuance," said 2010 FWAA president Tim Griffin.

The decision comes in the wake of recent sanctions leveled against the USC program following a four-year investigation into allegations stemming from ex-Trojan football player Reggie Bush and basketball star O.J. Mayo.
