Southern California's football program has been fined $50,000 and placed on probation for one year by the NCAA due to multiple violations of coaching staff rules over two seasons. The NCAA and USC reached a settlement in the case, as announced on Tuesday.
An NCAA investigation revealed that USC exceeded the allowed number of countable coaches during the 2022 season and spring practices in 2023. Eight analysts were found to have conducted on- and off-field coaching during that period, surpassing the permissible number by six.
