ABC Memphis just reported 40 violations.

Granted the teleprompter probably said 30, but this is Memphis we are talking about. Or they might have updated the tally since things kicked off in Oxford tonight.

eta: They specifically name RNk and LT both in the story they have online right now. This is the only place I'm seeing this.

I will say this. I'm an Eagle through and through, not a secret Bulldog or Rebel, but... About 4 years ago I took a job at Ole Miss. I only lasted a year. But I worked in the athletic department. I routinely observed things that I thought, "well that doesn't seem right", but that was my first and only job in athletics. So no idea if it's like that everywhere or if OM is worse than other schools. I do know a guy that played receiver at OM and he told me that a booster gave him cash based on his performance in games. He wasn't very good though. This was about 5-6 years ago.

 

[tatedog]

Cash for play from boosters is pretty much SOP at any school where more than 20,000 people attend games and probably isn't that uncommon at even smaller schools. I would wager every cent to my name that the majority of players who stepped on the field in the SEC last season got money off the table from somebody.

eta: Ok maybe not Auburn.

I believe this is the case even if all you do is kick well in the SEC.

That was the same station that said Derek Dooley was our next head coach after Croom.

 

[tatedog]

I thought it might have been. They reported that the very night that Croom was let go if I remember correctly. This is one reason I thought it odd.... the Memphis stations usually go out of their way to make Ole Miss look good and make State look like a bunch of ignorant hicks.

By all means, do tell. Do tell.
