Pacific 10 Conference Commissioner Larry Scott released this statement today regarding USC’s announcement of self-imposed sanctions on its men’s basketball program.

“We have been working closely with USC and the NCAA in independent investigations of USC’s basketball program. USC’s decision to self-impose aggressive penalties on itself is clear recognition of how seriously the University takes this matter and the sincere commitment of the Athletic Department, University leadership and new Coach Kevin O’Neill to correct mistakes that were made in the past and to set the program on a track to maintain the highest standards expected of every institution in the Pac-10 and the NCAA.”
