I'm sure things are done wrong. I'm still scared as **** for the 11 months that Kiffen was there. Who knows when or if anything will come from that. As of now, they've been placed on an NCAA probation once in the programs history almost 30 years and it was a far shade lighter than what Bama's been put on probation for in their lightest probation times. You brought up Eric Locke, that was another secondary violation. The same secondary violation that has happened over 500 times since Stoops has been at Oklahoma, that happened over 50 times last year at UGA, you'd have thought last year that the around 18 that UT got while Kiffen was there were the most in history. Secondary's are common and they happen. Until there's some proof of some wrong doing at UT of any sort of major concern, they're clean. Whether they're clean or a hell of a lot better than Bama at hiding it, they're clean.
like UT fans do not do the same exact thing about anything Bama-related? Hell, look at that one guys posts! No matter how true it is, he assumed that Auburn was guilty of something, even tho all the info right now says thats false.
but its pretty funny you jump on me for trying to attack UT, but who brought up Alabama? A UT fan. If you dont think that road goes both ways, your blinders are on. UT fans do. the same thing; its not a strictly-Alabama thing.

i typed out a big long reply, but ill just say this:
Phil Fulmer starting talking to the NCAA investigators and had his first interview about Alabama in March or April of 2000.
Two weeks later, the NCAA investigation into UT academic fraud was closed, without even interviewing Kenny Smith, who said a UT tutor wrote almost all of a paper for him during the 1998 season.

So yeah, I have a hard time believing Fulmer sold Bama out just for cheating and nothing to do with his investigation.

one more point, and yall actually brought this up:
7 other coaches turned Alabama in for cheating, yet only one was used as a confidential informant and a star witness. It just happened to be the one with an ongoing NCAA inquiry into his program.
