Southern Cal will get sanctions, but how tough will they be?

Reggie Bush is long gone from Southern Cal, but will alleged misdeeds in the football program result in harsh NCAA sanctions? (The Associated Press)Southern California had its days in front of the NCAA Committee on Infractions and now Trojans fans -- and lots of fans of teams that have felt the brunt of sanctions -- are eager to see how one of the nation's high-profile teams fares after a years-long investigation.

Is there any way Jeff Lebo can keep his job and coach in Auburn's new basketball arena next season? The Tigers seem to be finding ways to lose -- even in the worst SEC West in recent memory.

UAB has overachieved this season, but will it be enough to earn a spot in the NCAA Tournament. The Blazers have to keep winning in the final days of the Conference USA season and take at least a couple games in the league tournament to sew up a berth.

Birmingham News columnists Ray Melick and Kevin Scarbinsky and reporter Jon Solomon discuss these topics in this week's Birmingham News Sports podcast.
