USC football coach Steve Sarkisian said he is going to seek “treatment” and abstain from drinking alcohol during the football season after an incident at a recent USC event where he was visibly intoxicated.
“I took medication. I mixed it with alcohol — not a lot fortunately — and I responded in a way that was not acceptable for me or for the university,” he said. He would not disclose which medications he took.
When asked if he has a drinking problem, Sarkisian said he didn’t believe he did “but through Pat [Haden] and through the university, I’m going to find that out,” he said.
