Recruiting SEC Style

I've somehow missed this story, but it's a good one. There's a federal trial going on in Memphis where a high school coach has testified to collecting $150,000 to steer a football player to Alabama. But wait, it doesn't end there. He also took money from Kentucky (who says they don't care about football?) and Georgia.

Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas, Michigan State(Big Ten representin!) and Memphis also offered money (or tuition for the coach's wife in Memphis' case).

To recap, that's six different SEC schools who either did pay or offered to pay. For one athlete. Hmmm. Do you think this is just an isolated case?

And what's up with Auburn, Florida, Ole Miss and LSU? Don't they care anymore or were they already over the salary cap?

Edit: I forgot to give the SportsProf credit for finding that article.
