I made a post a few months back on here saying: “SEC football: If you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t trying.”

Somebody wrote back: “SEC football: If you ain’t winning, you ain’t trying.”

Every football program in the SEC has been found to have extreme major NCAA violations (except Vanderbilt) in the last 20 years.

It’s amazing how many conservatives on this board think it is ok to cheat in sports, as long as you are winning, or will have the “everybody else does, so why don’t we?” view. No, everybody doesn’t cheat like SEC football programs.

College football is the most corrupt sport in the United States, and the SEC is, by far, the most corrupt conference in that sport. But I guess it’s ok, as long as they win.

Is this the Big 10 fans coming out to throw some hate?

I assume the Horned Frogs are cheaters too since they beat the Big 10 champ Badgers in a game they supposedly didn't deserve to be in.

You want to cite something for me before I believe you? Isn’t Ohio St. responsible for the most infractions the last 10 years?

Alabama’s first run in with a major NCAA violation was over a player who was drinking and celebrating winning the national championship and who signed a napkin saying he wanted an agent to represent him. The player didn’t tell anybody. Then a year later, it all comes out. The coach at the time was Gene Stallings, and I don’t care what anybody says, but you’re not gonna find a more squeaky clean and honest football coach than that. To me, he’s like the Ronald Reagan of college football. He’s a wonderful man with a wonderful wife and family. I know I sound silly, but to hang an entire football program because a stupid kid did something stupid at a moment of euphoria was unfair. I’m sure the whole fiasco is why Coach Stallings went home to his ranch. Who wants to be embroiled in the NCAA mess, and who wants to deal with fans who think they must cheat to win? grrrr Anywho, I can’t speak for the time between Coach Stallings and Coach Shula. I was busy having babies and this and that. hah

I decided after listening to Cam Newton for the first time tonight that Cam may be too dumb to have known what his father was doing. He may be too dumb to know that he cheated on exams or stole a computer. He is dumb.

As the alumnus of a Big 12 school, I respectfully object. The Big 12 has more schools with seven or more major NCAA violations cases than the SEC. We've had more probations than the SEC. We also have more teams listed among the "Ten Dirtiest NCAA Football Programs," based on probations, scholarships lost, bowl game prohibitions, and findings of lack of institutional control.
