Marc Tyler’s TMZ Suspension

TMZUSC starting tailback Marc Tyler reportedly has a good sense of humor, but university officials probably don't think what he had to say last weekend was very funny. 

Tyler landed on the TMZ website, partying and commenting on "getting Kim Kardashian" and how USC players were making more money while playing for the Trojans than in the pros. 

TMZ claimed that Tyler was intoxicated.

Nonetheless, Tyler still shouldn't be talking in front of a camera, as media platforms have changed and athletes are under constant scrutiny.  

Tyler, who is also being investigated for two incidents of allegedly spitting on female students, was suspended by USC for the season opener vs. Minnesota.

Meanwhile, Marc's father, former NFL and USC running back Wendell "The Truth" Tyler went on record with TMZ to say that Marc Tyler is definitely NOT being paid by USC, despite what his jocular "they breakin bread" comment might have suggested.
