They have the records of Oregon paying him 25k 2 years in a row.

Well, then. Typical. NCAA not being fair.

You would think the NCAA would take into account that we've had Dooley as the coach for 3 years. Isn't that punishment enough???

This is a complete joke! Why in the world are we still paying for Kiffin's screwups 3 1/2 years later!? Yet, Kiffin and his boys are in SoCal switching game jerseys and deflating balls, not to mention, probably committing recruiting violations left and right. Don't worry y'all. Karma is a biatch. Kiffin will get his sooner or later.

Oh, but Auburn gets a pass because Cam (which is total IMO) didn't realize his father received benefits? And Kiffin and Garza get off? Lache gets to keep playing at, now, Baylor with no penalty either?
Didn't UT have to fire Pearl for lying to the NCAA?
Maybe Dooley should have adopted Lache . . . .
Stuff like this only serves to impune what little reputation the NCAA has to begin with.

One things for sure, anyone who thought Tressel was a possibility, pretty sure this closes that door.

How will this affect the possibility of a coaching change or the options to pick from?

Cash and burner phones help allot. Maybe Oregon was smarter than us .
I think it was Wes that always preached, 1) cash 2) burner phones. I could be wrong though.

I think at Oregon they're called "Barner" phones. .

I was one who kept preaching that after Kiffin and Pearl, even before today, that door was never open, but no one would listen to me . . . which reminded me of home.

Oregon, LSU, USCw and even Baylor involved in this mess with Garza and Willie Lyles paying players and selling old/ useless recruiting information for big $$$
Oregon will eventually hear from the NCAA....I think they get hit a bit but then again....Nike says hello
Kiffin should again bc he took Garza with him to USCw + was his boss here.
LSU who knows what will happen if anything.
and while all this is going on Baylor got much better at football (won a Heisman) and all the sudden became a power in both men's and women's bball.

Should Hamilton get a show cause for Kiffin and Garza and Pearl? Just in case he wants to get back into athletics one day? He hired each one of the messes for UT.

Wow. Kiffin: The gift that keeps on giving. What parent would allow their child to play for that sleezeball? Never mind. I think I know the answer.
