As a punishment to the team for the brawl, the University has just announced that the team will not be participating in any bowl game this year. ESPN just reported it.
http://cbs.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/7916916 i just posted this on the HOLTZ thread as well. USC might also be barered by the SEC for the brawl.
Barred from particpating by the NCAA and the school preventing them are 2 different things. For the school to do it says alot because they are foregoing a big payday
