Former Ohio State head coach John Cooper suggested both Alabama and LSU may be in violation of NCAA rules during a radio interview on Tuesday.

The same school that just fired sweater vest and had their president say yet another ignorant thing has no right to talk about any other school.

lol. If you breath hard enough there's a loop hole for a minor infraction. Unless somebody raped little kids, took money that has a paper trail, sold official school stuff, or had a BBQ, doesn't matter. ;)

I think the final sentence gives the basis for his entire commentary:

Cooper, who was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2008, amassed a 2-14 record against current SEC teams during his coaching career.

I worked for "a certain" athletic dept back in the mid 80s I had a legitimate job (per NCAA). I made very little money for doing very little work. (I chased kids across the state, took stats, gave my impressions/opinions, faxed them back. . . yeah. . faxed!! haha) I got into any HS game in the country for free. I made my gas money back, they paid my McDonalds receipts, and 20bucks a night. WOOO.

I was one of about a dozen people that did this for them at the time. It was all legitimate, and above the board. NCAA approved. . . . . . . except they paid us out of the wrong bank account. Misappropriation of funds.

SO MANY different ways that schools can accidently get into trouble with tNCAA.

And, the best part for me was, at only 20-22 years old. . . I was working for the Womens Basketball and Volleyball coaches!!! :hi:

2-14 record against SEC schools

That still probably makes him the winningest coach in Ohio State history against the SEC

Did he say what he thought they were doing? SEC is probably dirtier than the SWC ever thought about being. I wish they would make all schools sign kids to 4 or 5 year scholarships. This loophole of running kids off that they are all using, it just isn't the right thing to do, but they are only doing what they have to do to stay competitive.

Many of those within all of the SEC programs just look the other way at times.

It goes farther than that IMO. Remember the Cam Newton loophole that was brilliantly crafted which is now suddenly closed. Money talks and the SEC makes a zhit load of it.

Just saw a tweet from Bryan Fischer that the NCAA Working Group will recommend cutting the number of FBS scholarships from 80 to 85 starting in 2014. I have not seen the rationale behind it.

This is huge, in my opinion, and will really change the way coaches recruit and evaluate talent. Schools will definitely have to be more selective going forward, but not only that, I think it will mean that more kids will be put on the street for failure to meet expectations on the field. However, it might also have a positive influence on academics by forcing coaches to take far fewer academic risks, which might also have a secondary effect on high school seniors. The consequences (pro and con) won't be fully realized for many years, but will change the recruiting meat market and "profession" that has become college football.

In addition, a big benefactor to that mandate, if adopted, is FCS and Division II, but few here will care about that.

Just thought that was very interesting.
