Exclusive: Athletic director Lynn Swann says USC was 'blindsided' by the alleged bribery of a senior staffer in the college admissions scandal. Read more from ArashMarkazi:

and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, are accused of paying $500,000 in bribes to help their daughters get into USC. Giannulli traveled to Augusta, Ga., home of the Masters golf tournament, with USC’s athletic director, according to the affidavit, but it was unclear at the time whether he was speaking of Swann, or his predecessor, Pat Haden, who are both members of Augusta National Golf Club.

Swann was careful not to specifically place blame on Haden, who was his teammate when they played at USC, but he made it clear that many of the transgressions occurred before he took the job. Swann had never been an athletic director prior to being hired to replace Haden, who also had no previous experience at the job, but Swann said he believes he’s qualified to lead USC and has no intention of resigning. He says he would like to be at the school for 10 years.

ArashMarkazi New USC president Carol L. Folt no stranger to scandal is a very curious appointment. Her hypocritical way to get North Carolina off the NCAA bad list is shocking and is the exact opposite of what SC deserves.

ArashMarkazi Swann you should resign it was s mistake to ever place you in this position! Step down now! Asap

ArashMarkazi Why y’all more occupied with Swann a guy under no investigation who had no idea about this than you are with Donna Heinel? The lady that actually took the damn bribe money?

ArashMarkazi Hey! At Moskovsky Prospect, 90, 15-03-2019, at 14-30, police arrested a Russian hacker in the Kaliningrad-city in a white P322BA car. He intervened in US politics in the interests of the Russian real estate mafia. Why didn't the Kremlin and Trump tell about it?

ArashMarkazi I think that it's more like 'blindED' by all the money coming in. CollegeCheatingScandal ScamOn USC UCLA CollegeAdmissionScandal SundayMotivation

ArashMarkazi Note: Cue Casablanca ,I'm shocked That Gambling Is Going On Here. Your Winnings Sir.

ArashMarkazi While his corrupt organization takes bribes & participates in scams, Daddy sleeps like a baby.

ArashMarkazi The SC athletic director thinks of himself as a CEO. He blames others for crimes and mistakes and is oblivious to how things get done - a perfect CEO.

ArashMarkazi FightOn

ArashMarkazi Sure you were Lynn. This is what USC has always been. I wonder if SC will make the senior staffer vacate any awards he or she won. cheaton

slmandel ArashMarkazi Likely story

ArashMarkazi He gives you the best reason to fire him

ArashMarkazi Guy has more excuses than a pregnant nun.

ArashMarkazi Stop lying lynn.. everybody knew especially you....

ArashMarkazi Its not like this is the first time USC has been caught cheating. Money in from rich parents, out to poor future hall of fame athletes. If it were rocket science we’d be talking about Cal Poly 😉

slmandel ArashMarkazi Hahahaha USC

ArashMarkazi When Swann was a college football commentator on ABC and especially during the Rose Bowl, he offered to sell his tix to the Rose Bowl which were given to him for free. Forgive me if I don’t believe his denials or position.

ArashMarkazi Lynn says in the article everyone was shocked about Donna. He is lying. Donna didn’t get along with any coaches or players and some referred to her as a tyrant. She was not well liked at all. This is a coverup of his own ass. Swann is not a CEO of anything. He has to go😡🤦‍♀️

ArashMarkazi Sure 😉 Racketeering is a felony & USC had several coaches employed over the years in several sports programs indicted. It's a racket, others might not have known outright but suspcious? $350,000 donation to SC private soccer club? Who does that? Buying a spot, diverting funds

ArashMarkazi Which means he isn't very good at his job. USC is a cess pool

ArashMarkazi Wait you’re the AD & you’re still in bed at 7am? And you didn’t pick up until after the 3rd call? He had the nerve to admit he was in bed at 7 am? He makes 4 mil a year. There are many people that make minimum wage working 10 hours a day up at 5 A.M. what a fricken joke he is.😡

ArashMarkazi Lynn. You cheated. Just like at Serra. Shame on you dude. I didn’t see anything. Uh huh.

ArashMarkazi How many head hits did AD take in player daze? Something impaired his ‘in plain sight’ and cognition. If IRS has any capacity left, agents need to rip apart office where checks flood in 1st and somehow donor documentation magically follows

slmandel ArashMarkazi What’s he gonna say? “Oh yeah we knew it was happening but heyyyyy what ya gonna do?”

ArashMarkazi Bye bye Lynn

ArashMarkazi

slmandel ArashMarkazi Fight on 🤑

ArashMarkazi No, he was blindsided, and let all of the USC family down. He needs to do the honorable thing and resign.

ArashMarkazi USC getting head of the story trying to cover their tracks annndddddd.... the media falls for it

ArashMarkazi USC culture is we're rich, we're a private school, we're entitled, we're better than you because 'WE ARE SC'. OUR FOOTBALL PROGRAM MAKES US SUPERIOR.

Haven’t we learned from past cases that unless they are the target, they know the investigation is happening.

While other schools were involved in the scandal, USC was the only athletic department that had a senior administrator allegedly involved the scheme. Swann said one person will not have as much responsibility as Donna Heinel had in the future.

ArashMarkazi atalbarado

ArashMarkazi USC knew and allowed this activity. Is it even a surprise that the rich were able to buy their way into the top Universities?
