Osa Masina, Don Hill Suspended From All USC Football Team Activities
USC football linebackers Osa Masina and Don Hill have been suspended from all team activities, head coach Clay Helton announced Tuesday.
The suspension of linebackers Osa Masina and Don Hill has been expanded to included all USC football team activities, including meetings and practices, Helton revealed during his weekly Pac-12 teleconference.
The two players had been suspended from participating in games, but have been allowed to engage in team activities with no charges filed.
Both are under investigation by the LAPD for a sexual assault that allegedly occurred over the summer. Masina is under additional investigation for another assault the victim alleges took place in Utah a couple of weeks after the initial incident.
Helton said the decision to suspend them for the season was made “Under the university’s further guidance.” #USC

The allegations came to light as USC prepared to face Alabama in Arlington, Texas to open the season.
When warrants were issued against Masina, the Trojans suspended him and barred him from travelling with the team.

Details of the allegations emerged later that week, implicating Hill in the assault. As a result, Hill was also suspended and sent home from Texas.
Last week, as USC got set to face Utah State at the Coliseum, both Masina and Hill were allowed to practice.
At the time, Helton indicated that the university had made the decision to allow them to participate in team activities.
Now, the university seems to have changed it’s tune.
Whether or not that stems from public pressure or a development in the case is unknown.
