He advocates a playoff or even a 'plus-one' system, the current bowl system is corrupt, the SEC is the best conference, the SEC also is the most NCAA penalized conference - maybe the NCAA should be checking things out down there, Urban Meyer has reached out to him, Coach Bruce and Coach Tressel, Ohio State will be back at the top of the conference where we belong, etc, etc.

I'd like to see his stats (Jwins..Jeff?). Certainly, the B1G has been the worst offender/most penalized conference when you look at overall athletics, but maybe if you use the last 10 years of only football he is right - and the subject is clearly football. Nice to see Urb reaching out to him. Corch was already real tight with Bruce. Ohio State will be back on top real soon.

He said last ten years.

Thanks for setting the record straight, councelor.

Well, I think the B1G has the most the last ten years too..which is why I said "football" only violations.

http://www.cbssports.com/collegefoo...coreboard-nearly-everybody-gets-in-on-the-fun

We add the Vols and the Buckeyes to this list from 2011 and the SEC leads with 14 followed by the B1G with 13. If we wait a week the ACC (North Carolina) will go to 9. Nothing for any of us to brag about, and not a good reason to throw stones at one another either, IMO. There but for the Grace of the NCAA Not Looking At My Program go I...

Saying that the SEC has as many as the other conferences combined was a bit much. But we all have issues for sure.

According the the NCAA infractions database, all time, in every sport, the Big Ten has 47 major violations, and the SEC has 51.

If you remove the violations committed by teams before they joined the conference, then you end up with 43 for the Big Ten, as all of Nebraska's 4 major violations occurred before they joined the Big Ten, and you end up with 47 for the SEC, as of the 4 for SC, only 1 occurred while a member of the SEC, and of the 4 for Arkansas, 3 occurred while a member of the SEC.

Yep. Again, I was talking about the last 10 years. If Purdue or Suwanee cheated in 1934 I really don't give a [Mark May], to be honest. But my point is simply that while is it easy and convenient and popular to bash the SEC about "dirty" stuff (and to say - "yeah- they are only winning because they cheat!"), the truth is that major power conferences with rabid fan bases succumb to temptation at about an equal rate - all things considered. Coop was dead wrong about the SEC being far and away the worst violator - numbers wise - unless my memory was bad and he did not say what I think he said, that we have more violations than the rest of the conferences combined. If I heard it wrong, then my bad.

Edit: He did say that. Simply bullshit.

The topic interests me enough to do the legwork.

The opportunity for yet another Ubet lecture about OSU
homerism on BuckeyePlanet does not, nor is the frequency trivial.

Your partner already did the legwork

No football conference has been more successful than the Southeastern Conference -- or as dirty.
While the SEC's run of five consecutive BCS titles and seven national championships in the past 13 seasons is unprecedented in college football, so is the number of major NCAA infractions the league has accumulated.
Click to expand...
Since 1987, 10 of the SEC's 12 football programs have committed major infractions, according to the NCAA. The league's only football programs without a major infraction since 1987 are LSU (its last major infraction came in 1986) and Vanderbilt (which has never had a major infraction).

10 since '87, 11 since '86.

No range will include Vanderbilt, who has never had a major infraction.


Since '87

13 - SEC
12 - B12, P12
8 - ACC, B1G

Coop's facts were waaaaay wrong. Pathetically wrong. The homerism on BP is far less than on any other board I've seen. < insert BB73 comment about sucking up> I'll sign papers. But he (Cooper) told a whopping li.....error, and as lots of folks have bumped the link with approval, I thought I'd point out the one* ridiculous thing out of the whole mess he said. Correcting Cooper for telling whoppers was not meant by me to be castigating BP for homersim. When I think of Cooper I do not think of BP. Unless it is how maligned he usually is.

*I take that back. When talking about good B1G teams he brain farted and did not mention Sparty.
