It's similar to why State went on probation- they just wanted to get one person out- Jackie Sherrill. Why? Because Sherrill Beat Bammer 4 times, Auburn 6 times, Texas twice, Florida twice, and even Tennessee once with Peyton Manning....to the bigwigs in the SEC, this is a serious NO NO!
om ratting state out, or state showing the NCAA evidence of corruption in the om athletic system had very little to do with the final ruling on either school. Xenareb didn't have to whore herself out to the NCAA investigator because this was totally completely out of the hands of small fry like him.
