"With the recent issues before the athletic deptartment, I am requiring the coaches of each of our sports to meet with their student-athletes to discuss our expectations for ethical, compliant and legal behavior," the memo stated. "We are all aware of the social issues that our student-athletes are confronted with - Thursday (and now Tuesday) night gatherings, the 9-0 (a nickname for the 901 club), the (Fraternity) Row, parties, drinking and drugs. "We are a very high profile entity and must be aware that conduct in any given situation can easily become public knowledge and can often be exaggerated. We must continuously emphasize and unceasingly re-emphasize the significance of proper behavior and the hurtful consequences of unsuitable behavior." USC coach Pete Carroll was not on campus Thursday because he was recruiting but said he saw the memo and would address the team next week. Witnesses said Sanchez was at the 901 club Wednesday night before the alleged incident occurred and appeared drunk. Carroll said he was concerned about underage players going to bars, an issue that existed well before Sanchez was arrested. "We're always on it," Carroll said. "We have to be on the subject regularly. It always is frustrating."

Although Sanchez was placed on interim suspension Wednesday by Michael Jackson, USC's vice president of student affairs, sources said he will be allowed to take final exams next week. If Sanchez were not allowed to take finals, he would be ineligible to play next season. scott.wolf@dailynews.com (818) 713-3607 CAPTION(S): photo Photo: SANCHEZ |
