This move is fairly indefensible. I wish parents would step in and stop the coaches bereft of chaacter from taking their son down a slimy path. As a parent, I would probably want to have Kiffin in my living room again...just so I could whip his behind. Spend months selling my son on a school and a plan....convince my son to graduate early and miss memories that he will never have...like prom or a spring sport....then the night before they start their new adventure...you pull this crap...I would probably try to hunt Kiffin down.

Hell I think these 9 kids are LUCKY. They were called and warned and were given a chance to RE-THINK about what is best for them academically and athletically. If they went to class, and wanted to transfer, their grades possibly would suffer because it can be tougher to succeed when you are unhappy where you're at.

Look at it from that angle. How would you feel if they weren't warned and they got STUCK where they no longer want to be and lose a year.

the EE's were stuck either way, it was too late according to the AD, he said as of 12:01am they were enrolled. They learned a lesson - 'Don't believe Lane Kiffin' lesson. They will be wiser men in the future.

There should be a rule keeping departing coaches from contacting recruits once the resign. Tampering. The kids should have to contact the departing coaches before the coach can contact the player. With the ethics of Kifflin and Staff, how long before USC is in even more trouble. These outlaws are going to change College Football and not necessary for the good.

Kiffin already fucking lying about contacting recruits and you could tell he was lying.

If you did it thats fine and its not illegal but man up to it and not lie like a lil bitch. Do I think its morally right to do that to recruits, nope but right now its not illegal.

+1 If I were a recruit and not called I would be pissed. Because there is no way out if you started classes.
