Lane Kiffin (HC Ole/Young Miss & Twitter Troll King)

[exhawg]

how did this thread get titled Lane Change instead of Lane Violation?

Maybe now that he's been in a job for more than a year the title can change.

There's lots of things that "heapin'" would describe... but that's another thread.

All true, but I think we were all assuming these kids would play somewhere in the US.

OK, this is the verbage from the NCAA directly.

​

Reduction of football athletics scholarships to 15 initial grants and 75 total grants for each of the 2011-12, 2012-13 and 2013-14 academic years. This represents a decrease of 10 scholarships for each of the three seasons.

So, in the next recruiting cycle they are limited to 15 scholarships to give. But, it also says they are limited to 75 total scholarship athletes for the 2011-2012 academic year. That's the upcoming year. Well, how many do they have right now because adding 30 to the current number is a lot of scholarships to add.

I believe that due to the appeals, the punishment was pushed back one academic year. It will run 3 years of 75 Scholarships from the 2012-, 2013-, and 2014- seasons.

It is why he is bookending it with a 2011 class of 30 players and will probably use greyshirts in season 2014. Then in '12, '13 and '14 he will just accept all the 5 and 4 star players as the actual scholarship athletes. It's actually quite smart. They still aren't oversigned the current 85 schollie limit (though they'll have a drastically smaller '12 class to get down to the 75 limit).

Kiffy hasn't changed.
Clever working of the rules.
Wonder how the NCAA bigs feel about what he's doing at USC to get around sanctions? Maybe they are getting very angry about Kiffin and company?
Maybe his plan is one good year and he takes off for the NFL?
Still think the hammer is headed his/USC way.
Again.
But maybe Kiffy/USC is smarter than the NCAA?
Or maybe they just think they are?
This will be interesting.

It was actually a good move by USC. You want to go into the sanctions with 60 returning on scollie and they were below that. So even if all they get is a delay in the start date they are ahead of the game.

I hope Lane sticks around, his first year has been great thusfar

It was that effort that landed Orgeron as Scout.com/FoxSports.com?s 2011 Recruiter of the Year.

Facing questions about their scholarship numbers, Orgeron and head coach Lane Kiffin crafted an outstanding class, the best in the Pac-12, and a top five class nationally.

Remember now, Lane can't do this all by himself. It takes a team effort.

Report: USC recruiting chief under investigation

A day after he was named national recruiter of the year by Scout.com/FoxSports.com, USC recruiting coordinator Ed Orgeron was the subject of a report that concerns his time at Tennessee. ESPN.com's Ivan Maisel reported Friday that as part of its investigation of Tennessee athletics, the NCAA was investigating whether Orgeron personally conducted a workout of a prospective signee on the student's campus in May 2009. The report was attributed to three unnamed sources.

That'll help with the appeal.

None of which means anything to a scholarship football player. Hangin' at The Mansion, however,....
