The irony of widespread NCAA violations in the SEC.

Between last week's Yahoo Sports' report and today's SI coverage of Arian Foster's admission, it's fair to say that there are widespread violations throughout the SEC, and elsewhere in the NCAA.

While I'm not going to argue for or against legalizing the ability of universities to pay players to play, I just wanted to point out that between these two reports, we now have public records of players at Tennessee getting paid before and after, but not during Lane Kiffin's one-year head coaching duties.

Thus the irony is that while people mistakenly think that Kiffin violated rules at Tennessee (he and the football program were cleared of all allegations of major violations), his one-year stint was probably the cleanest one year the Vols had.

Heh.
