But Alabama was on Probation

We continue to hear that Alabama was on probation and scholarship reductions in 2002-2003 and that is why their numbers are so high.

http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/football/2002-02-01-alabama-violations.htm

We'll keep this brief and to the point. If Alabama's numbers are so high because they were on scholarship reductions, then what were the schools listed underneath them on, double secret scholarship reductions? We searched the Internet and couldn't find where the NCAA dropped the hammer on any of these schools for recruiting violations. If you guys find something we missed let us know.

2011 Oversigning Cup

Working on an update to the cup standings using the number of players signed. Time consuming process. Hope to have it finished soon. Until then, take a look at the number of players signed for each BCS conference.

@GerdOzone imagine what that number would be had he oversigned at the rate of Saban/Miles/Nutt/Petrino. 10:18:34 PM May 13, 2012 from Twitter for iPadin reply to GerdOzone

Alabama and Mississippi were scary places in 1950. But the grandkids are doing a bang-up job: http://t.co/OiKZzyaC 07:55:29 PM March 12, 2012 from web
