By Richard Binder

ADVERTISEMENTS

The NCAA has hit USC with some severe penalties because of what it says was a "lack of institutional control" over its athletic programs and violations with Heisman Trophy running back Reggie Bush and basketball star O.J.

Officials and attorneys familiar with the NCAA appeals process, however, don't hold out much hope for USC's chances.
