A list of sanctions, investigations and inquiries football and men's basketball programs in the Southeastern Conference have faced over the past 24 months.

Alabama: NCAA places football team on five years probation last February for recruiting violations, mostly under former coach Mike DuBose. Banned from postseason play for two years and stripped of 21 scholarships.

Auburn: Last fall, NCAA begins investigation into alleged recruiting violations involving two basketball players.

Arkansas: Loses two football scholarships and entire sports program placed on three years probation last month after NCAA determined a university booster overpaid athletes for work at his trucking company.

Florida: None.

Georgia: Sends letter to NCAA this month stating former assistant basketball coach Jim Harrick Jr. was solely responsible for academic fraud that left two players ineligible. Also this month, suspends nine football players for violating NCAA rules by selling SEC championship rings.

Kentucky: NCAA places football program on three years probation in Jan. 2002 for recruiting violations.

LSU: Six-month investigation that concluded last summer determines some football players received improper study help and help with typing; school contends all violations were "secondary."

Mississippi: Not officially being investigated, but Ole Miss officials said recently that they are working with the NCAA to gather information about various allegations of rules violations. Also, two football players face suspensions for making hundreds of dollars of phone calls with an access code stolen from an athletic department employee.

Mississippi State: NCAA investigating football program for possible rules violations over the past five seasons, largely regarding recruiting. NCAA is reviewing whether there was a failure to maintain institutional control.

South Carolina: NCAA briefly investigates allegations of recruiting violations on football team last fall, but finds no wrongdoing.

Tennessee: In January, NCAA accepts Tennessee's self-imposed penalties for recruiting infractions related to a former football player. The university gives up two scholarships. NCAA also clears Tennessee of any violations in a case involving payments quarterback Tee Martin received from an Alabama sports writer in 1999.

Vanderbilt: None.

Wow. This is impressive. And I'm a Texas fan who was around for the last days of the SWC, so I know what I'm talking about!

First, ours is just a simple possible improper contact with some damn AAU coach or something quite simple and not major.

If I were the ACC, I would be looking at AU, UF and UGA to come over to them and leave the other 3 out.

I've said this a long time ago, this is too reminiscent ofthe SWC.

P.S. Kisses to Gaytorette wink

I don't think that the SEC will ever go under. Anyway, do you think that the Alabama state government would let Auburn leave the SEC while Alabama was still a member?

Georgia, South Carolina and Florida would make more sense than Auburn. You have ACC schools already in those states and are fierce rivals already.
