Yes.

By default tho.. best talent=most likely to have scenarios that involve high end cheating.

There are some other dynamics, but elite talent draws out the "competitive edge".

Ole Miss is damned if they do and damned if they don't. If they are awful it's because it's Ole Miss, they're supposed to be bad. If they're good, it's because they are cheating. And there's nothing they can do to change that perception.



That is not true at all. The big mistake ole miss made was not winning shite before they started buying. Win a few years then make a big move up in the recruiting game and it isn't so obvious

I think Alabama is to blame for the perception that everyone in the SEC cheats.

The SEC has always had a well deserved rep of being dirty. However, any,ANY big time program cheats. Even those holier than thou big 10 and acc schools. The SEC gets pointed at because we win so much but it's no worse at Bama or florida than at Mich or ohio state. Schools with more money buy better players and can hide it better. Some palms are probably greased at the NCAA hq too. Had a college coach ask me once what's the first thing u do when u get a college job. I said hire a staff? He said no, u find out who are the boosters that pay....and he didn't smile when he said it.
No ole miss is not a novelty. They just pay more now.

Everybody doesn't cheat. Only the people who do say that

I do love how head coaches are not responsible for their assistants anymore. This whole calipari, pitino, saban I don't care what you do as long as I don't know about it plausible deniability stinks to high heaven

I'm sure all these assistants are just rogue individuals. Saban is the most controlling all ahole in college football. He knows what these guys are doing. Just because he doesn't directly hand out the cash, he's safe. What is this? Mob rules?

Alabama's football program is only worth a gazillion dollars and have been put on NCAA sanctions numerous times.

But no... Only ole miss cheats.

Who are you people on here? The only team not cheating is probably Vandy.

These are the BIG 5 Cheaters in SEC:

1. Alabama - They are very good at cheating and not getting caught. Elite Cheaters.

2. Ole Miss - Big Cheaters that got caught and didn't win a damn thing; Rookie Cheaters.

3. LSU - Cheaters that take care of each other. The whole state has LSU's back. Family cheaters.

4. Auburn - Cheaters that nobody really cares about. Slimy Cheaters.

5. Tennessee - Cheaters with a Swag. Thug Cheaters.

Fine Southern parents everywhere give their young children a Nerf football and a copy of the enormously influential child-rearing book "Everyone Cheats" to let these younglings know that sort of thing is perfectly natural.

There was a book written called Meat Market, about recruiting. Hilariously, it was about Ed O at ole miss. There was a quote that stuck out to me. Along the lines of "you don't get in trouble unless you start winning bidding wars."

Ole miss has been winning some bidding wars.

You won't stop the handshakes. But when the coaching staff itself is involved, you're playing on another level. And that's when the whispers start up.

Look at how corrupt our gov't and politics are. So of course, it isn't too far fetched to imagine that other places are just as corrupt.

I do think most SEC coaches probably aren't the ones giving the money, but I'm sure they either know about it, or try their hardest to not find out about it.
