Pete Carroll was concerned about winning, recruiting and the school's image.
He didn't wan the focus of the 2007 football season to be on the rape allegations. He wanted the focus to be on football and the USC program.
How could he look a recruit's parents in the face and tell them that he had their best interests at heart, all the while, playing a QB accused of raping a young USC woman at a party? He'd appear to be "all about football" and not all about the players. He would have lost major credibility.
He made the right decision. Too bad for Sanchez, as he would have had 2 years of starting under his belt, making the draft decision much easier for NFL teams.
