It's the recent Oklahoma punishment that sets off this humorous piece from Mike Freeman of CBSsportsline.com. Freeman jokes that the Sooners' HC Stoops started asking recruits if instead of a scholarship would they prefer an extended warranty. Nearly fell off the chair when he got to #1. Enjoy.:laugher:

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica]SMU--Cash payments distributed in a timely fashion, luxury cars handed out like heads of lettuce, players bought and paid for. Made you proud to be an American.

About #1 and #2. Auburn has been on probation so often, they just take it in stride when they get caught. One time when traveling through south Alabama, a visitor inquired of one of the locals, "Why is Auburn on probation so often?" The local replied, "Better to be on probation than to lose to Alabama." And they mean it! :cool:

As for Miami, they still may be cleanest act in town. That section of Florida is unbelievable. If you are an honest and truthful person in that neck of the woods, you just might be dead. :p
 
we put stock in one writer's opinion here about the 10 schools that he thinks cheats the most. Yet, the writer who says Gailey is one of the worst in country gets lambasted because he's a writer for Sports Illustrated, I guess.

We put stock into writers who actually know what the hell they are talking about. This guy seems to know his stuff, however, that jackass over at SI publishes the same garbage every single year.
 
Shocking news in from Geetee. People on a Georgia Tech message board favor a writer who bashes the SEC and don't like a writer who blasts their coach. A great revelation, to be sure.

UGay belongs in that top ten.

Remember, this is football poll. UGay spreads the cheating out evenly between football and basketball such that if this was rating of athletic departments you would definitely be correct; but for solely football violations UGay is just a typical SEC school.

I disagree. Their cheating, like their academics, has improved over time but still not close to the heavyweights such as the universities in Alabama or OU. We have made some strides here in the last 10 years or so as well with Flunkgate and using ineligible players, the resume thing with one of our ex coaches, and some other "small potatoes" kind of things. All in all, we have alot of hard work to do if we aspire to make this list.:biggrinbounce:

I agree about the cheating part. UGA has definitely improved their cheating to not get caught as often.

Edit: Reread your post and I realize that I shouldn't have assumed you were defending ugag with the "improved" comment.
 
unfortunatley, it is OUR football program that was recently put on probation for "cheating" vs Ugag's. ...glass house meet yellow rock.

Now it is just obvious what your true colors are. Get the hell off this board and go bark on the UGAy board with your fellow dawgs.
 
Now, now, Gentlemen

This article on the Top 10 NCAA rules offenders is written to bring a laugh to ya'll's day, a smile to your face & goodheartedness to all you cross paths with today. Many of the other items mentioned, such as the 'worst Div1a HCs', & even some posts here are being done with nothing but meanness to gain.
Let's all enjoy a good laugh as fellow Yellow Jacket fans.:thumbup:

I think I see one of our problems. Some of us think flunking ten of our own players out of school is "cheating". Actually, that would be negative cheating, if we had hired a good lawyer we probably could have convinced the NCAA that we were even-steven on the ineligible player thing. The resume thing wasn't cheating either, we can hire someone who stayed in a Holiday Inn as our next coach if we want to.

On a more serious thought:
Do you think cheating at UGA has declined at UGA since Vince Dooley left? If so, do you think the fact that VD got started at Auburn had anything to do with it?:laugher:

Our indiscretions were not to intentionally gain an advantage.

Flunking out players and firing a coach who fudged his resume are cheating to you? Methinks you don't understand the subject.
 
whatever became of this issue?
__
President Wayne Clough, athletics director Dave Braine and another Georgia Tech official deliberately concealed some of the NCAA violations that led to the school being put on NCAA probation, a former Tech academic adviser alleges in a wrongful termination lawsuit.
Tech, already stung by the May 2003 announcement it had dismissed 10 football players from school, decided it couldn't afford the public relations hit it would take from further academic bad news, Shane Olivett's suit alleges.

The suit seeks Olivett's reinstatement and unspecified monetary damages from the Georgia Tech Athletic Association, Clough, Braine and senior associate athletics director Larry New. The suit, filed last week in Fulton County Superior Court, represents one side of a legal argument. The NCAA infractions committee found Tech guilty of a lack of institutional control over its athletics program but did not charge the school with intentionally concealing rules violations.

I assume it was dismissed...
