re: Should Coaches with Recruting Violations Have them Transferred

I don't believe the violations should tranfer. They belong to the institution under whose watch they occurred.
However, I DEFINITELY think this should be a factor taken into account by the NCAA investigators in rendering sanctions against Southern Cal for their past violations. When a program takes action to clean up their program following violations, that should be one mitigating factor which lessens the sanctions. However, when a university which is already facing potential sanctions hires a coach which has recently amassed numerous sanctions (and shown a complete disregard for NCAA rules), the opposite should happen and the sanctions should be more severe. Hiring Kiffin and co. shows a complete lack of remorse for the past violations and is essentially USC thumbing its nose at the NCAA. This fits right in line with the way USC has handled the past violations, i.e. admitting to nothing and building a wall to hide them. I hope Southern Cal gets pummeled, as unlikely as that may be.
