Ron Higgins of the Memphis Commercial Appeal encourages other schools to turn Saban in for commiting secondary violations.

Just wondering when an SEC football coach is going to turn in Alabama coach Nick Saban on an apparent recruiting violation. Saban obtained a commitment from Mitchell receiver Keiwone Malone, a high school junior. The only problem is that other than a "bump" -- which is an accidental "hello, how are ya?"-- a coach can't have direct contact with a junior at the time that Saban did (before signing day for seniors on Feb. 4). That's a dead period (no contact) according to NCAA rules. Judging from the quotes given by Malone to the CA's Jason Smith, there was a face-to-face meeting and a selling job by Saban. Mitchell High didn't have any seniors that were being recruited by Saban, so his visit wasn't for that purpose. And it had to be more than a bump. When's the last time you heard a kid receive a scholarship offer and commit on a bump? The SEC office had no comment on the matter, other than to explain the bump rule. This wasn't a bump by the Sabanator. This was full-contact recruiting.

Saban got caught "accidentally" bumping into Jonathon Wade at his high school when he was at LSU and we made him quit recruiting the kid to avoid the NCAA.

I'd just like to point out that the writer is an LSU grad, and that this just looks like a pathetic attempt to take a shot at Saban while simultaneously trying to shift the focus off of Kiffins idiotic violations the past few days.

Sabin did that crap at LSU a couple of time and cost us some good players. We stopped recruiting them due to the violations.

My god, people in Tennessee are desperate. I honestly hope they get beat by 30 points every game.
