Living good? Maybe. Thinking good? Definitely not


In April, with Southern Cal in the midst of an major NCAA investigation into alleged improprieties into the Trojans basketball program, University of Arizona athletic director Jim Livengood reportedly offered Trojans coach Tim Floyd the Wildcats’ job.

Floyd turned him down.

Two months later, following a new accusation that Floyd personally handed a recruit’s associate $1,000 in cash, Floyd has resigned as Trojans coach. The guessing now is that serious NCAA penalties are headed the Trojans’ way, and that Floyd is finished as a Division I coach.

All of which makes Livengood the luckiest AD in the land.
