Whoops. My bad. I'm so gullible. I forgot that you're privy to all of the violations that Urban has successfully swept under the rug and kept from the NCAA. Listen, I call them as I see them. Urban is a good coach, and appears to do it ethically. I'm not going to let my Tennessee loyalty cause me to believe differently just because it would make me feel better that he's beating our tail by cheating.

A couple of great examples here....

As the story goes, Meyer wasn't having much success convincing Carl Moore to transfer to Florida. Then Meyer learned that Moore's girlfriend, Maranda Smith, had competed for UCLA's gymnastics team in 2006, but quit after an injury.

Meyer went to work, contacting Florida gymnastics coach Rhonda Faehn for help. The Gators had a gymnastics scholarship available. According to the Gainesville Sun, Meyer started calling Smith daily back in November.

"He kept asking how Carl was doing and wanted me to come [to Gainesville] and do gymnastics," Smith said. "It was weird. But I really didn't know anything about college football anyway, so it was like I was talking to any other person. Then I started watching TV and I'd see him and I'd say, 'I just talked to him on the phone an hour ago.' "

Meyer's persistence paid off and Moore and Smith are now Gators. But here's the problem, according to Wodraska:

"First of all, as a football coach, Meyer cannot recruit for another sport. By contacting Smith, he broke the rule that all phone calls must be made by a head coach or one or more assistant coaches who count toward the limits of coaches who can recruit in a sport, which is three in gymnastics. Also, since he was effectively acting as a gymnastics coach, he broke the rule that in gymnastics coaches are allowed to contact recruits only once a week.

“Sharrif was really confused and put a call into coach Meyer. When they spoke, coach Meyer told him that he had a ‘dream’ the night before, and that coach Meyer saw himself on the sideline coaching Sharrif. Told him that it was a ‘message from God that I should come back and coach, as I guess if it’s my time to die, I’d rather die on the sidelines coaching you than anywhere else in the world.’

Not to be philosophical, but this is prime example of what's wrong with society today. Who is the parent and who is the teenager? If you're over 30 you need to give up on your rap dreams and be an adult. Get a real job and be a real parent.

This "cash cow" garbage is getting annoying. Every major football school generates a massive amount of money in CFB SC is no different than UT, Texas, Bama, Ohio St. Or even Boise St etc. Last time I checked SC wasn't in the rose bowl last year

Was thinking the same thing, guys, as much as we hate Kiffin and want to see him fail, I wouldn't trust anything coming from the lizards.

When this is printed somewhere other than a Gator board or that joke of a paper TNYT, then alright, otherwise a grain of salt is needed.

I believe at the very least Reggie Bush will be giving back a Heisman trophy and USC will be forfeiting a National Championship, to me this would be slap on the wrist.

Hiring a motley crew like Kiffin and O in the middle of a serious NCAA investigation will be looked at as a slap in the face to the NCAA.

I thought they would be in trouble prior to Kiffin taking the job, so this isn't just wishful thinking.

USC has put itself in 212 degree water...here is hoping it all comes to a splattering halt.

Hope your right GahLee. Then I hope the NCAA allows USC's players to transfer to UT.

LOL...but I bet you don't have the number 1 recruit in America as your son!

Well, you might but he'd be about 11 now...just old enough for Kiffin to extend him an offer.

Just a prediction. USC gets a slap on the wrist for this and Bush. Washington State does this and the mighty hand of the NCAA comes down hard.

USC + Bama + NCAA = Threesome.

My point was that USC is no where near the top dog in revenue to ignore their scandels. Sorry to say but I'm sure Bama was a top 3 and they laid down the hammer.

If USC doesn't get close to the death penalty, I will be shocked. Monte is wishing he wouldn't have left the NFL now. At least there you can pay your players and it's legal.

I agree Eric...remember, they say, "revenge is a dish best served cold."...heres hoping they do get the Death Penalty...GBO!

Keep on hoping. I think it would be more likely they would allow them to transfer within their conference than to UT, if Kiffin has anything to say about it.

Just think as upset as everyone was when CLK left and I was included this could be us we are lucky it didn't seem like it at the time but I think we dodged a huge when he left.

I think Kenneth Lay does things the right way compared to X and O.

USC is the premier team in the PAC 10 and the darling of the LA media market which is #2 nationally. They will give up scholly's but no bowls or tv. Do you really think that the NCAA will not make a deal with USC (if it even comes to that) to ensure they are a viable program? They did hammer Bama but this is a kinder, gentler, more money driven NCAA we are talking about. Not having USC vs ND on TV would not set well with NBC.
