Recommendation 1

Reports of Allegations From Another Conference Institution

Prior to forwarding allegations to the SEC office, the institution’s chief executive officer or athletics director shall determine if there is sufficient information to support the allegation. Allegations submitted to the Commissioner by members of the Southeastern Conference shall be accepted from an institution’s chief executive officer or athletics director. Other individuals (e.g., coaches) who report information to SEC staff shall be directed to contact the appropriate campus person- nel for submission of the allegation(s).

Allegations deemed to be credible, or deemed to include sufficient information meriting a response, shall be forwarded from the Commis- sioner to the chief executive officer and athletics director at the institution where the violations have been alleged and, when appropriate, to the NCAA. This information shall include details of the allegation(s), and relat- ed SEC or NCAA bylaws, but shall not name the source of the information. The athletics director shall be asked to provide the Commissioner with a response to the allegations within 30 days. In its response, the institution shall also be asked to provide all relevant information. The institution shall also be asked to determine if it believes a violation occurred.

Upon receipt of an institution’s response, the Commissioner shall review the information to determine:
• If the institution conducted a thorough investigation;
• If the determination made by the institution is consistent with the information developed in its review of the allegations;
• If the information substantiates that a violation of SEC and/or NCAA rules has occurred; and,
• What, if any, penalties should be imposed by the Conference.

If it is determined a violation of NCAA rules has occurred, the full report shall be forwarded to the NCAA national office.

Following review of an institution’s report, including requests for additional information following an institution’s initial response, the Commissioner shall report the determination to the institution from which the allegations were originally reported.

In accordance with the existing SEC Code of Ethics, any rumors or complaints made by coaches or administrators shall not be made in public. Institutions are required to provide coaches and administrators with the proper procedures for reporting allegations.

These guidelines are not intended to preclude informal communi- cations among athletics directors or campus compliance personnel related to possible rules infractions. Informal communication may be appropriate in many circumstances and should be pursued as deemed proper on each campus.

Which translates to: Guys, if you know something, let us have the info and we'll take care of it and make sure that nobody else hears about it so our conference reputation isn't damaged. Remember, if someone does cheat and wins,you will all really win because we share the money from bowls and tv.</p></font></font></font>

If these recommendations are the current recommendations, where does it say that the SEC Commissioner's office is the only place that allegations can be submitted?

I've not gotten much sleep, but I don't see it. All these are are guidelines and when MSU found out about something allegedly illegal occurence, it doesn't mean that the SEC Office is the official gatekeeper of all information only.

But that might just be me since I'm not a lawyer.

Where does it go from here?

I don't know where it goes from here, honestly. Lots of possibilities.

What do I think should happen?

Get the proof you have, decide what you want to leak, then slip it out there. Next, take any feelings of care/remorse... sitthem out in the open, poor gas on it, light a cig, take a longdrag and a moment toreflectupon life, then...................................flick.

So this is how I read it:
Essentially, Slive saying "I am the judge and jury if this will be reported to the NCAA"

<p align="left">

didn't think the information we provided was sufficient to pass along to the NCAA. Or was he playing his little game of covering it up since the SEC had a bonafide national champion contender and he didn't want to upset his record of not having schools on probation while on his watch. I hope the NCAA uncovers a coverup by the SEC office and runs his *** out of town. I don't give a **** what the ramafications on the SEC entail. We've gotten **** on by the big boys long enough. 17 'em!<font color="#292526" size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font color="#292526" size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font color="#292526" size="2" face="Times New Roman"></font></font></font></p><font color="#292526" size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font color="#292526" size="2" face="Times New Roman"><font color="#292526" size="2" face="Times New Roman"><p align="LEFT">Allegations deemed to be credible, or deemed to include sufficient information meriting a response, shall be forwarded from the Commissioner to the chief executive officer and athletics director at the institution where the violations have been alleged and, <font color="#cc0000">when appropriate, to the NCAA</font>.
