No. Just a rumor at this point.

Me, too. But generally speaking, where's there's smoke, there's fire.

Not sure the exact circumstances involved but every sign seems to point to the original heroic act story being made up. If he was going to lie and make himself out to be a hero I'm thinking he's covering something ugly up.

EDIT - I'm now seeing a few sources reporting the story Bizdady brought up.

Where do I go to see about buying parking passes for the upcoming season? I tried calling my team atlethic department, but they only have passes that's far, far away from the stadium.

Here is the official statement from the USC Athletic Department on Josh Shaw:

USC senior cornerback Josh Shaw came to USC athletic department officials this afternoon (Wednesday, Aug. 27) and admitted that he had lied about how he suffered his ankle injuries over the weekend.

He said that the story he told of rescuing his nephew in a pool in Palmdale, Calif., was a complete fabrication. He apologized for misleading his coaches, teammates, athletic department officials and the public.

"We are extremely disappointed in Josh," said USC head football coach Steve Sarkisian. "He let us all down. As I have said, nothing in his background led us to doubt him when he told us of his injuries, nor did anything after our initial vetting of his story.

"I appreciate that Josh has now admitted that he lied and has apologized. Although this type of behavior is out of character for Josh, it is unacceptable. Honesty and integrity must be at the center of our program. I believe Josh will learn from this. I hope that he will not be defined by this incident, and that the Trojan Family will accept his apology and support him."

Sarkisian said that Shaw has been suspended indefinitely from all team activities.

Shaw has retained Donald Etra as legal counsel. Etra will issue a statement on Shaw's behalf soon.

USC regrets the posting of the initial story on Monday (Aug. 25).

Still no real explanation to how it actually happened

The fact that he feels that he has to retain an attorney bothers me.
