For ESPN's recent interview/story with Kiffin, the Oakland Raiders were asked to give a statement. And, damn, did they ever. They said quote "Lane Kiffin is a flat-out liar. He lied to the team, he lied to the fans and he lied to the media. He will try to destroy that university like he tried to destroy the Raiders and will eventually clash with (Pat) Summit and (Bruce) Pearl. Other than that, the Raiders can say nothing further." No need, Raiders, it seems like you made your point quite clear. WOW. Now, this is fun.

someone that commented on the yahoo article about this said, "In 2007 Oklahoma had 48 secondary violations. Georgia had 24 last year. Wow TN has 5 when Nebraska has 38 last year. Looks like Kiffin is in better control in his first year that the other so called elite programs are.
if it weren't for the fact the whole university is having to clean up his foot prints. Kiffin has thrown himself out there in the media so badly that if I were Tennessee I wouldn't have Kiffin leave his office except to go to the bathroom. I'd have others doing his job just to keep the operations running smoothly.
He has made more people angry within the state and around the SEC with his arrogant dumbass comments that it makes 48 secondary violations look a lot more appealing to have then having 5 and Kiffin as head coach.. Besides 48 violations got Oklahoma to a BCS game I think more schools should take advantage of minor violations.
He's also already loss one of his probably more reliable assistants and then on top of it all he has arguably the most proven head coach under his belt as an assistant- Ed Orgeron....
In this case it appears having more is better.

that secondary violations are a test. They always happen but what the NCAA is looking for is to see if the school self-reports them which shows that someone is keeping an eye on the football program and preventing them from running amok. They are small things in general so I don't see the big deal when they get broken. I would assume that if you seem to be willfully breaking the rules, even if self-reporting, in order to get an advantage that the NCAA would do something about it. But that's only if you are a mid-level team, obviously Ohio State can do whatever they want.Sutterkane woya said:

"Since 2000, Ohio State has reported to the NCAA more than 375 violations -- the most of any of the 69 Football Bowl Subdivision schools that provided documents to <em class="i">The Dispatch[/i] through public-records requests. Most infractions were minor -- a coach called a recruit too many times, for example. Others, however, left athletes benched, fined or at least embarrassed.
The public likely will never know the specifics, because records of all the violations were heavily edited by Ohio State in the name of student privacy. Ohio State says the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act ties its hands. If OSU releases what it thinks is private information, the U.S. Department of Education could withhold federal funding."
Also in that article:
"In October 2005, two football players stole a $60 alarm clock and a $10 hair dryer from the Hilton Minneapolis. The team was in town to play a game against the Golden Gophers. Their names were blacked out by OSU because of FERPA."
Who do they think they are? Ole Miss?
