UA athletics director Mal Moore received a letter Tuesday from Southern Cal athletics director Mike Garrett apologizing for a recent report that Alabama was one of five schools to illegally contact Trojans freshman running back Dillon Baxter.

"I have spoken with Mr. Baxter and he has now confirmed that he did not receive a call from your institution," Garrett wrote to Moore. "Therefore, USC has no intention of pursuing this matter further.

Share "I apologize for any inconvenience or embarrassment this matter has caused to you and your institution."

A Crimson Tide spokesman immediately denied an ESPN.com report that Baxter told Southern Cal compliance officials five schools -- Alabama, Florida, Fresno State, Oregon and Washington -- called him in the wake of NCAA sanctions handed down against the Trojans last month.

The New York Times is reporting this morning that Florida received an apology letter with the same wording as what Garrett sent to Alabama.

Baxter, who hails from San Diego, Calif., was considered one of the nation's top-rated high school prospects last season.

Do you still believe Kiffin had anything to do with it?

All. The. Way.

This little cluster fuck screams Lane Kiffin. Can you seriously look at the things he has done in the past, and look at what has transpired with this, and think otherwise? This is textbook Lane Kiffin childish BS. The sad part here is Kiffin pretty much has a blank check to make a jackass of himself over the next few years that USC is on probation. I mean, what are they going to do, fire him? And hire who? Mike Shula?

Like I said before, if it were a number of other coaches that had claimed this, it might be halfass believable. Coming from Lane Kiffin? Pffttttt
