Let's be serious here. Yahoo recently did a story and cut through all the innuendo, heresay, and rumors. They wanted to see which school has had the most violations, and lo and behold it was ther University of Alabama and it wasn't even close. Auburn wasn't even on the list. Just a reminder-they looked at actual FACTS of which schools had NCAA violations.



I am not doubting the validity of what you are saying. BUT, do you have link? I would love to read the article.

Here is the gist of it:

On the NCAA Web site under "Legislation and Major Infractions Cases," I found that since Jan. 1, 1991, there have been 47 schools guilty of what the NCAA called major violations.
Eight programs were listed more than once, with Alabama leading the way with three.

Alabama's issues:

In 2009: "Impermissible benefits obtained by student-athletes through misuse of the institution's textbook distribution program." That resulted in three years' probation.

In 2002: "Athletics representatives engaged in violations of recruiting and extra-benefit legislation with prospective student-athletes and provided impermissible recruiting inducements through high school coaches. Numerous secondary violations." That resulted in a two-year postseason ban and five years' probation.

In 1995: "Extra benefits: $24,000 in impermissible banks loans made to a student-athlete; institution did not obtain appropriate records. Lack of institutional control in the investigation into and report of information regarding the amateur status of student-athletes." That resulted in a one-year postseason ban and two years' probation.

The programs listed twice were Colorado, Florida International, Florida State, Mississippi State, Texas Tech, USC and Washington
