The NCAA and SEC are being publically ridiculed by their own member institutions because it appears, at this time, that they have turned a blind-eye to obvious rules violations.

However, THIS ISN'T OVER - really, it's only just begun.

Timeline reeks.

19.10.4.1 When a member institution discovers that a violation has occurred or receives information of a possible
violation by another member institution, the matter shall be reported to the Conference office through the
institution's Chief Executive Officer or Athletic Director.


MSU notified the SEC in January.

19.10.4.2 Allegations and complaints of rules violations received by the Commissioner, from any source, will be
evaluated as to credibility and potential status (major or secondary).

19.10.4.3 Upon determination that an allegation or complaint has substance, the Commissioner will notify the
institution involved. With the notification, the Commissioner will request the institution to conduct an immediate,
preliminary inquiry and submit a written report within 30 days.


MSU gave the SEC all the information they had. Which is the same information they had when the NCAA made a ruling. SEC didn't notify Auburn until July which sends up red flags. Did we ever hear of a report by Auburn within the 30 day period? I never heard of one.

19.10.4.6 If the violation is determined to be major or has the potential to develop into a major infractions case, the
Commissioner and/or the institution will notify the NCAA when appropriate.


Slime sat on it and MSU went over Slime's head to NCAA.

It took 11 months from the time MSU notified the SEC until he was declared ineligible and then mysteriously eligible within a 24 hour period. The press never even knew Cam was ineligible until he was already reinstated.

It's a heaping pile of shite.
