Are you naive or stupid?
What has Florida, Georgia or etc done that the NCAA should do something about?
Did Tebow's parents move into a mansion while he was still in college?
Don't know what the TE from Georgia did, but what Maurkice Pouncey did (if true) is tantamount to a big violation...
"
Florida is investigating whether or not former Gator Maurkice Pouncey received $100,000 between the SEC Championship Game and the Sugar Bowl Game. On Wednesday at 10:30 Pouncey’s lawyer released this statement:"
“I did not accept $100,000, it is an absolutely ridiculous claim. I have completely cooperated with the investigation and answered any and all questions put to me.”
If it is true, I would expect the NCAA to come down on Florida appropriately.
Until proven true, the NCAA should do nothing.
Well, no, the NCAA shouldn't just stand idly by--but do what they're doing; investigating the situation.
....to those schools as suggested by jgw
lmfao utsa
As usual, jgw is trying to avoid everything concerning USC and its failures....
Lane Kiffin continues to stir up , now he's got USC into a lawsuit courtesy of the Tennessee ans:
http://www.tennessean.com/article/20...++Southern+Cal
The ans on Monday filed a lawsuit against the University of Southern Cal and head coach Lane Kiffinfor “maliciously” interfering with the contract of running backs coach Kennedy Pola.
The lawsuit was filed in Davidson County Chancery Court and it claims Pola breached his contract with the ans after being induced by Kiffin. Pola, hired by the ans in January, was hired by USC
The lawsuit states “as a result of USC and Kiffin’s tortuous conduct, Tennessee ( ans) football has been damaged in an amount proven at trial.’’
ans officials declined comment on Monday. USC officials could not be reached for comment.
Over the weekend, Coach Jeff Fisher, a former Southern Cal player, sounded off against Kiffin, who formerly coached at the University of Tennessee, for recruiting Pola without first asking for permission to speak to him.
“I am very disappointed in Lane Kiffin’s approach to this,’’ Fisher said on Saturday. “Typically speaking when coaches are interested in hiring or discussing potential employment from coaches on respective staffs there is a courtesy call made from the head coach or athletic director indicating there is an interest in talking to the assistant.
“So I am very disappointed in the lack of professionalism on behalf of Lane, to call me and leave me a voice mail after Kennedy had informed me he had taken the job. It is just a lack of professionalism.’’
According to the lawsuit, “USC and Kiffin maliciously intended to – and did – induce Pola to breach his contract with the ans. The lawsuit alleges “USC and Kiffin engaged in improper means in their procedure of the breach and were not legally justified in their actions.’’
According to the lawsuit, Pola agreed he would “not under any cir stance solicit discussions or entertain employment with any other person or en y during the term without given written permission to do so,’’ under the terms of his contract with the ans. Pola was not given written consent by the ans.
“Kiffin and USC’s actions through him were part of a course and pattern of conduct fostered by Kiffin and USC to use improper methods and means to the direct harm and damage of parties to contract, to interfere with an existing contract includes the breach thereof,’’ the lawsuit reads.
The controversial Kiffin was hired as USC’s football coach in January after serving as the head coach at the University of Tennessee for one season.
In January, Fisher hired Pola after firing running backs coach Earnest Byner, a move that raised some eyebrows, especially after ans running back Chris Johnson led the NFL with 2,006 rushing yards in 2009. But Fisher said he couldn’t pass up an opportunity to hire Pola, who had an expiring contract with the Jaguars. Pola’s contract with the ans wasn’t set to expire until February, 2011.
Kiffin released a statement on Saturday giving his chain of events leading to the hiring. Kiffin could not be reached for comment on Monday.
“We reached out to Kennedy Pola yesterday to gauge whether he had any possible interest in returning to USC before we moved forward with the process," Kiffin said in a statement released by USC.
“Kennedy said he would think about it and get back to us (Saturday). Once Kennedy did call back earlier today, out of my great respect for Coach Fisher I immediately reached out to Coach to make him aware of the situation. I have spoken with Coach Fisher and he now has an accurate understanding of the timeline of events.
“We realize the timing of this isn’t perfect for all parties, but this is a great opportunity and promotion for Kennedy.”
Fisher said he plans to hire Pola’s replacement from a member on his current staff.
of course i mean if proven. that being said, its likely some of these allegations will be...and i'll be curious to see what happens.
why would you think the NCAA would treat other schools any different than USC?
lol U$C
Because everyone wishes they were a Trojan.
Best thing SC ever did was the get rid of Garrett ...... dude is a waste
