Like all new USC freshmen, Emily Rainbolt was required to take an online alcohol education course to learn about the potential dangers of drinking. She knows that students who violate campus policies on alcohol could be suspended or even expelled from school. So when Steve Sarkisian, USC's head football coach, used foul language and insulted opposing teams while apparently intoxicated at the annual "Salute to Troy" pep rally last weekend, Rainbolt thought the university should have taken strong action. Instead, she wondered if she was seeing a double standard. Although Sarkisian apologized, announced plans to seek treatment and was dressed down by Athletic Director Pat Haden, the university has not announced any further disciplinary measures.
