CBS Sports says Kiffin has been actively recruiting NFL players to file lawsuits..

How Lane Kiffin and LSU triggered a national showdown over NFL-to-college transfers

The Tigers aggressively recruited former NFL players to challenge NCAA rules and return to college, igniting an SEC arms race and forcing conferences to consider intervening.

I alluded to this in another thread as my suspicion. Kiffin is taking the position these guys filed suits on their own and he is just signing them before someone else does. CBS says he was calling guys likely to get cut and telling them to join a lawsuit, then come to LSU.

I hate all of this...but, honestly, that was pretty creative.

Not really creative. If it was creative, the cat would still be in the bag.

Man did he fit right in at OLe mIss.

Creative to recruit them. Perhaps he could have covered his tracks better.

The only thing that I enjoy about this is the fact that OM people will be seething that Lane is the first big mover on this when they otherwise would have been.

The B1G has a rule that allows the commissioner to sanction schools for conduct "offensive to the integrity of the competition". The SEC does not. It would be awesome to punish Kiffin. Not for signing the players, but for recruiting them to sue the NCAA.

The more absurd this new age of college football with "student" athletes gets, maybe it pushes this garbage to a breaking point and something can be done to bring it back to normalcy.

He's the picture of a modern-day, disloyal assshole that uses every angle to win. Sort of like Urban Meyer in the old system. You're selling your soul to win.

Whereas, Cignetti is more of the Saban, who at least portrays the image of doing it in a manner with more integrity.

If the cat was still in the bag, it wouldn't be about Lane, which is all that he wants in life. He has to be the central figure in the story.

Maybe the SEC will adopt a similar rule...
The Kiffin Rule.
Surprised one is not already in place.

 

[mstateglfr]

This is dumb and obviously should not be allowed.
With that said, I struggle to actually give a shít. I mean, what is this...example 5604 that shows major college sports as a complete joke?

Burn it all down.

Which one? I'm pretty sure there's already a couple of 'Kiffen Rules' on the books already.

Next CBS will report water is wet & the sky is blue. Just kidding, they did need to find & interview their sources. But I think we all pretty much knew this was happening.

He's a jackass. He really belongs in the NFL.

I dont think he cares. He's daring the powers that be to say something. Its the same thing he did with players faking injuries to slow down a game. He said it was wrong and he didnt like it and OM would then have record number in a game. Everyone could see what he was doing.
He's tempting them to say something and recruiting off the controversy the whole time. Its kind of smart in an @$$hole sort of way.

You gotta respect the game. He’s doing things other coaches are not willing to try. He wants it more.

 

[Howiefeltersnstch]

Ban him for tampering

 

[SoJxnVol]

Don’t be surprised if we see a firing here folks. The only difference is it’ll be Sankey forcing LSU to do it.

 

[jethreauxdawg]

I don’t understand why people would be upset with Lane. He clearly cares about these young men and wants them to further their education instead of chasing all the $$$ in the NFL.

Lane doesn’t give a foxtrot about anybody but himself. Hell, he left Layla. What a dumbass. It’s very telling to me that working with Nick didn’t teach that piece of **** a damn thing.

Al Davis couldn’t stand the guy so I can’t see him ever being in the nfl again.

I wish we had someone as willing to push the boundaries like that.

You mean Las Vegas Raiders? Hell, I don't know they all move so much.
