44 Violations in 24 Months? 16 of those belong to the Football team.

All of them had one corrective action in common...Rules Education.  You'd think that after the first 30 times, the NCAA would get the hint that Education doesn't work with updykes.

Two of the football violations resulted in a player being suspended for two regular-season games.

According to the summary of one of the violations, a player "received impermissible transportation, entertainment, meals and lodging during two trips."

According to the summary of another violation, a player "received impermissible benefits from an agent and preferential treatment based on status" as a student-athlete.

Last summer, star defensive end Marcell Dareus was suspended for two games because of impermissible benefits he received during two May trips to Miami.

None of the football violations involved a so-called "bump" between a coach and a recruit. Last winter, Alabama coach Nick Saban was accused of violating the "bump" rule when he spoke with Barry James Sanders, the son of legendary running back Barry Sanders, at the prospect's high school in Oklahoma. When questioned about the contact with a junior, Saban said it was just a greeting. Oklahoma State suggested the rule was violated, but the high school's offensive coordinator said Saban was talking to him about Alabama's need for running backs.

Alabama reported two violations of NCAA by-law 13.10.5: publicizing a recruit's visit to the campus. In both cases, rules education was the only corrective action demanded. It isn't clear if either of those violations involved Sanders. On Feb. 19, Barry James Sanders and his father sat with Saban at an Alabama home basketball game. During the game, Saban and the younger Sanders briefly were pictured on the video board. The arena camera then zeroed in on Saban and the elder Sanders. The next day, an Alabama spokesman said the school's compliance office looked into the matter and determined no rule was violated.

One football violation involved a football player selling complimentary tickets. The player was required to repay the benefit to a charity and was withheld from competition. Additional rules education was provided to the entire team.

Another football violation involved a player providing impermissible transportation off campus to a recruit on an unofficial visit. The recruit was required to repay the benefit to charity and the player and football staff received rules education.

I can't wait to see Auburn's. 

It's going to look like this:

Auburn released a list of their NCAA violations over the past two years. 

They had 12,345 violations in a 24 month period.

12,000 of them belong to the football team.

Notable violations include:

- $50 million paid to football players over 2 years.

- Prostitutes and college girls provided as sexual entertainment.

- Conspiring to commit extortion.

- Illegal gambling in the state of Alabama.

- Terrorism

- Blaspheming the holy spirit

Last Winter, Alabama coach Nick Saban was accused of violating the "bump" rule when he spoke
with Barry James Sanders, the son of legendary running back Barry Sanders, at the prospect's high school
in Oklahoma. When questioned about the contact with a junior, Saban said it was just a greeting.
Oklahoma State suggested the rule was violated, but the high school's offensive coordinator said Saban
was talking to him about Alabama's need for running backs.

Whoever wrote the article needs to attend one of the Monthly NCAA Rules "Education" Classes, and apparently he needs to bring along Coach Belittle...because that was a violation.  A simple greeting does not equal Recruiting, by saying that you're in need of running backs.  And Coach Belittle should know that rule like the back of his midget hands, it hasn't changed.  For the bammer lurkers a simple greeting is a "hello", "nice day outside", "good luck this upcoming season", "keep up the good work in the class rooms", "tell your parents I said hello", etc.
