Back to the actual subject.. the guys have absolute scumbag for recruiting for another school while he's still employed at oklahoma. It's just the kind of thing that should bring a show-cause. It won't, But it should. At the very least this guy should be blackballed from coaching jobs outside of USC.

And yes, he can be sued by the University of Oklahoma.

I can see both sides of the coin. The question is were the recruits committed to the school or the coaches? Houston fans said the same thing about Art Briles and staff when he left for Baylor. It turned out that Briles only brought RGIII with him because Griffin was committed to the coach and system but not to UofH. On the other hand I would be absolutely pissed if my former coach took our best recruits that he recruited on my dime.

Orgeron used Tennessee provided cell phones while here when Kiffin left. He was calling kids on our own cell phones telling them to not show up at campus for early enrollment or they would be stuck here. He told them turn around and come to USC with us. So messed up. Unethical. We couldn't do anything about it though. That seems like where Oklahoma is now.

Is there an effective difference? Until a kid actually signs the LOI, he can go anywhere.

In probably 95% of recruit's heads, they are committing to a coach when they commit, not a school. Even though the commitment itself is to a school.

USC is a better job.

People in the SEC hate it but there's not a better job in the SEC than USC. They have more money than Texas and Notre Dame and the best recruiting base in the country. The SEC even poaches kids from Cali. The location and perks of being IN the entertainment community by virtue of being on stafff there are just added gravy.

In what aspect? Simply because it’s easier to get to the playoff? Getting to the playoff is just the first step. Going home after game 1 is just as bad as not making it at all.

Location. Tradition. Talent. USC can be a regionally dominant national power with little to no local opposition. Just like it was under Postmate Pete....

There's no side of the coin to see. Dude is using Okie $$$ to recruit for USC. That's a definite ethical issue.

When did major college sports become ethical? That's simply a pipedream in this current environment.

Yep. My dad was raised in Oklahoma so I’ve been there quite a few times. It absolutely sucks, no question about it.

There's nothing worth seeing on I-35 north of D/FW until you get to Kansas City. I spent 3 months in OKC once and a week in Tulsa and they ain't worth writing back home about.

Nothing in his post is actually true. Texas football and Notre Dame football make way more money. Texas and Notre Dame have a combined endowment of 42 billion dollars. USC's is 5 billion. Texas and Florida have more blue chip football players than California by a decent margin and it's an even bigger edge when it comes to per capita. No area in the nation has more people or high school talent than the Southern U.S, from Texas/Oklahoma to the Carolinas. and it's not even close. The sole advantage USC has is that historically they have no competition west of the Rocky Mountains except Washington on rare occasions.

A couple points on the job comparisons. It might be an easier path to a conference championship, I’ll definitely concede that. I haven’t seen anything about their crummy facilities, nothing about what a cruddy conference, take out Oregon. Haven’t seen anything about how hard it is to watch a game due to the conference tv deal.
