15 Most Unethical Programs in College Football History
NCAA investigation and resignation
After the 1982 season, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) began an investigation into possible rule violations by Pell and his staff at Florida. Pell took full responsibility for the violations in August 1984 and announced he would resign at the end of the season. However, on September 16, only three games into the season, the NCAA announced that Florida was alleged to have committed 107 major infractions--including spying on other teams' practices, payments and gifts to players, and allowing walk-ons to stay in the athletic dorm. That night, university president Marshall Criser fired Pell and named his offensive coordinator, Galen Hall, as interim coach.[8] Hall and the 1984 Gators won Florida's first-ever Southeastern Conference (SEC) football championship, but the SEC university presidents voted to vacate the Gators' 1984 SEC title after the season was over. In January 1985, after it was ultimately determined that Pell and the Gators coaching staff had actually committed fifty-nine infractions, the NCAA placed Florida on two years' probation and banned the Gators from bowl games and live television in 1985 and 1986. The NCAA also reduced the Gators' football scholarships by twenty over three years.[2] The loss of scholarships proved to be the most crippling sanction in the long-term; with a depleted roster, the Gators did not win more than seven games from 1986 to 1989.[9]
During his time at the University of Florida, Pell led the fund-raising efforts to make several major facility improvements at Florida Field, including the construction of a world-class training facility (the Ben Hill Griffin, Jr. Athletic Training Center), a major expansion of the south end zone seating and the construction of the first luxury skyboxes. Pell is credited by many with returning the Florida football program to national prominence and for rehabilitating the finances of the school's athletic department, but at the same time condemned for being responsible for NCAA violations and sanctions that hobbled the program for the rest of the decade.[10]
Someone has said that a person can be judged by the quality of his enemies. While the Vols are not the Gators' enemy, they are certainly heated rivals. The fervor with which you guys embraced Lane Kiffin caused many Gators, myself included, to lose respect.
I notice that Kiffin's latest escapades have apparently gone unremarked on this board. In case you didn't notice he has done two more scummy things recently.
1) He had the second string QB change to the kicke's jersey to deceive the other team with a trick play. Violates the first item in the Football Code of Ethics. The other team was the University of Colorado. Yes, Colorado! With a tough opponent, I guess anything goes.
2) He had the ball boy deflate the USC footballs to make them easier to hold and catch and then had the boy claim he did it on his own. Of course, Kiffin denies authorizing it, but SI, ESPN, and the entire college football world are laughing about that.
Will you guys now finally admit that hiring Kiffin was a mistake and that he is not the kind of guy you want representing your university? Man up.
I may take you up on that offer. I live about 20 miles away in Coffee County.
That Ole Miss game of '69 still makes me sick but it did produce a good nickname for Jack.
Yes, that is a great nickname! John Ts has wonderful BBQ. Next time I'm in there, I'm going to ask the owner how he got the jersey. They have all kind of interesting decor.
If you go, try the John Ts BBQ sauce that is in bottles on the table. It is GOOD!

I recall a story that he used to date a girl from Hillsboro so he may have ventured over to that area.
