The historical knock on SEC schools among rivals is that their success is predicated on a willingness to stockpile great players by violating NCAA rules on recruiting and athlete benefits. While some of the sanctions have been minor, every SEC school but Vanderbilt has been on probation in the last 25 years.


I have no memory of LSU football being placed on probation in the past 25 years--am I forgetting something here?

LSU had some very minor issues I believe, which resulted in slight punishment which I guess can be classified as probation. I dunno. I'm pretty certain LSU is the only major SEC football program to have never had the NCAA hammer dropped on it in a big way.

Who would know better than James Carville that the Dhimmicrat Party is comprised of mostly buffoons? And he is speaking from experience.

Democratic Party. Not Democrat Party.

Or do they still teach civics in the, uh, Republic Party?
