The other catch

rle doesn't applie to the rivals of Alabama. In fact, rules have never applied to them.

well, thats kinda the point. someone has to prove it first - which is how I read the bylaw posted above...requesting money from Miss State and then going to auburn doesn't prove anything, just implies that Auburn could have paid.

I keep hearing people say this, but it's news to me. Since when does the NCAA or SEC have to PROVE anything? Lack of proof has never stopped them from handing out penalties in the past.
