…with the rules from now on, Commish Mike Slive says. No, really.
Alabama, Mississippi State, Kentucky, Georgia and Auburn are among the most penalized schools in NCAA history. Auburn is tied for second overall with seven major infractions cases. Since expansion in 1992, every SEC school has either been on probation or hit with sanctions. Half the league has been nailed twice. At least.
In one wild 2½-month period next year Georgia men’s basketball, South Carolina football and Mississippi State football come off probation. Trying to make it to the checkered flag of compliance without any rubbin’ is a quiet goal.
Unfortunately, in the SEC, rubbin’ is racin’.
“If we don’t (make it to five years),” Slive said with some resignation, “it will be close.
“(But) we are in a position to put to rest to the old chestnut, ‘If you don’t cheat, you can’t win.’”
What a great attitude to take. But it’s nice to see a column that actually mentions this wonderful SEC pasttime.
Or, maybe we can just talk about how great the league is for the nine trillionth time since January.
I’ll start: Oh! The speed!
