Its more than just Tenn and Bama now. Well, most of it involves Bama, but LSU has for sure gotten in on it now that Saban is at UAT.

I would think the LSU folks would just get over the Saban thing. I know.. Miles is a goober and a general embarrassment whenever he opens his mouth.. but the guy wins games and has assembled one hell of a recruiting staff. He also seems to run a pretty clean program.

That the difference though -- with OU who provided the NCAA with evidence or the SEC schools who rat out each other, the NCAA has some solid stuff to charge schools with. In the case of USC, the school has done everything in their power to deny responsibility and cover things up. That means the NCAA has no evidence of wrongdoing.

I guess that's a precedent the NCAA is comfortable with -- cover it up and you're in the clear... do the honest thing and you're getting slapped.

Obviously LSU is against Saban, but there were also a lot of accusations made against Bama going into signing day this year.
