When a coach has been accused of being a sleezeball in his last 2 jobs, his past is open season when he does something sleazy in his next job.
The Big Ten, Big East, and until Kiffin came along, the P10.
Whose else would it be?
Many times? I can think of 3, and he's done 2 of them.
As I stated, Kiffin behavior has made him a target and everything he does is magnified. He brought that on himself.
Again, we are talking about a 13 YEAR OLD. He's not Kiffin's meal ticket, regardless of what you believe.
From his public comments, he apparently doesn't know what cheating is.
I still don't understand how you think offering a 13 year old kid is justified, even if he pans out.
Accused of being a sleazeball, because he left? That's too damn bad...coaches leave all the time. Coaches bend rules all the time. Ohio State has recruited kids with felonies, Michigan just took on a kid that was busted for robbery, but they are ethical? Give me a break buddy.Just because the SEC wipes the floor with the rest of the NCAA the past couple of years, does not make them the only conference that doesn't recruit 100% honest. If you think all the other schools are, you really dont have a clue of what really goes on.
:chuckles::chuckles::chuckles::chuckles::chuckles: I really am cracking up that you think all those conferences are ethical, lololol....wow..
Colorado and Texas Tech have been investigated for recruiting violations recently, Michigan, UConn, and many others. They all do it.
This is my fav part of my post, because I know being a Cavs board you have to be an OSU homer too.

Ohio State committed almost two-thirds of the Big Ten's Level I recruiting violations (13 out of 21 for the entire conference) during the 2007-08 school year.
21 violations in that year alone. That was just a quick google search. Like I said, you really don't know anything if you think only the SEC isn't ethical. :chuckles::chuckles:
It has been done many times, across all levels of athletics. This isn't even the first time USC has done it. They did it a couple years ago with a basketball player. Really, it's not the first, it won't be the last.
What rules has Kiffin broke? A couple of minor rules that really makes you wonder, why are they even rules to begin with? These are rules that coaches break everyday. Tennessee is good to go next year, the previous coach at USC has left the school under uncertain terms. But according to you, the Pac 10 is ethical, atleast before Kiffin got there. But I suppose they are only under investigation because they hired Kiffin, not because Carroll was sleeping with undergrads, letting the Bush family stay in mansions, or having his running back roll around in a $75,000 SUV. But that's ethical right?
How isn't it justified if he pans out? He looks like a genius. He got a head start on recruiting the next best kid, and it is completely legal and ethical. If he doesn't, who cares. Colleges pull offers all the time. What's the big deal? Very few kids are going to stand out at the age, if you take a gamble, offer, get a head start and he turns out to be great, then that is a great recruiting job. If you offer, he turns out to be not so good, you pull the offer and most likely you will never hear about it until some web blogger makes a small article about it that may get a couple hundred views.
Great move. But shouldnt be a news story and you are completely wrong.
