Cheap Rent Isn't Always a Good Thing

USC players sat through several meetings Tuesday, including one in which they submitted forms with their housing information.

The Trojans, of course, are no stranger to housing-related issues.

USC is awaiting the outcome of the NCAA's investigation of Reggie Bush, and one of the main issues concerns his family's living arrangements in a house near San Diego while the Heisman Trophy winner was playing for the Trojans.

In summer 2006, the NCAA ruled receiver Dwayne Jarrett ineligible because of his living arrangement with quarterback Matt Leinart the previous year. Jarrett had paid $650 a month, Leinart had paid $650, and Leinart's father paid the balance of the $3,866 rent for a luxury downtown apartment for 13 months.

Jarrett was reinstated without missing any games and was ordered to pay $5,352 to charity as a condition of his reinstatement.
