He just can't help himself. I don't know the rules well enough, so I am hoping someone will clue me in. How many times can he screw up before the NCAA actually does something, like suspend him or fine the university?

Pretty much a case-by-case basis for NCAA actions. But it's going to happen. The SEC tends to turn on their own when it comes to recruiting violations - the competiton is too fierce. And considering that Kiffen should know better - he was USC's recruiting coordinator, for Christ's sake - these screw-ups would seem to be a good indicator that he's going to pull a major blunder sometime, and another SEC school will for damn-sure report it.

 

But forget about fines or suspensions - hit 'em where it hurts. Severely reduce their available scholarships for the next year. That'll cripple them more than anything else.

thanks for clearing that up...is there somewhere one could actually read these rules on the Internet?

Start HERE. What's interesting is that there are no rules or even general guidelines concerning penalties. The NCAA likes the freedom that gives them to impose whatever they want whenever they want.

Lane should not be biting that hand that feeds him right now, one of these days he made need some support from his fellow SEC coaches and its going to be poor me, poor me.

This is gonna be HIGH COMEDY when the season starts. If he is saying this stuff now wait till he is in a press conference after having 30-50 dropped on him.
