I was on both sides of the rivalry in the 70’s and 80’s. Both sides were constantly turning in the other side for even the smallest of infractions. Both sides were always under some minor or major punishment. The SEC finally put their foot down and handled all of the petty stuff on their own.
What kind of petty stuff? Well, recruits could get money reimbursed for gas on an official visit to a game. ~$10. One coach handed out the $10 and then went back to the office to do the paperwork. Nope. Violation. Paperwork first, then the $10. One school turned in the other for this violation, but was guilty of the same thing, so they both lost 2 scholarships. It was always one dumb thing after another.
NCAA: Did the MSU coach hand you $10 on the field?
Recruit: yes, sir.
NCAA: Did Ole Miss hand you $10 on the field?
Recruit: No, sir. They handed me $20.
