The NCAA rejected the submission of the Southern California to reduce some of the penalties imposed to the year last on its football program, including a ban from bowl of two years and the loss of 30 scholarships over three years, according to media reports.
A USC spokesman confirmed Wednesday that the school received a response from the NCAA on his appeal, but he says that NCAA rules prevent USC to comment on the decision until he came out Thursday.
The rejection of the appeal was for the first time by uscfootball.com.
Since 2008, a single call has succeeded. Another 10 failed.
Responsible for USC, including sports director Pat Haden, preceded by the Board of appeal of the offences of the NCAA in January and asked that the Panel reduce by half the harsher sentences against the football program.
The NCAA had cited USC to a lack of institutional control.
Haden and school lawyers argued that the prohibition of Bowl and loss of scholarships was excessive. USC had requested the prohibition of Bowl to be reduced to one year, he served last season, and have exchanges reduced to five per year over a period of three years.
The NCAA imposed the sentences last June after decision Heisman Trophy winner Reggie Bush and basketball player O.J. Mayo received improper benefits. The University has also cited for a lack of institutional control. Bush made his Heisman Trophy.
Critics of the initial decision to NCAA against USC thought the recent decisions of the NCAA involving Auburn football programs and Ohio State should play for the Trojans, but apparently, this was not the case.
Auburn quarterback Cam Newton was allowed to keep playing despite an NCAA ruling that his father had asked to Mississippi State for cash, when his son was recruited junior college.
State of Ohio five players were suspended for five games of the 2011 season after the NCAA has decided that they had sold their championship rings, sweaters and awards and has received a tattoo fair illegitimate benefits.
If the ban is upheld, USC would be limited to the signature of not more than 15 players in football over the next three years grants - 10 less that schools not sanction under are allowed.
Trojans would be able to compete in the game of title PAC-12 in 2011 inaugural playoffs.
Last month, the NCAA upheld his punishment of former assistant USC Todd McNair for his role in the case of Bush.
McNair was the assistant to former coach Pete Carroll for six seasons, and the NCAA claimed that McNair was aware of some of the gifts provided on the Bush family by two aspiring sports marketers in the hopes of Bush land as a client.
McNair was forbidden to communicate with recruits, and his contract is not renewed by USC.
