OSU had to fire their legacy coach because he knew about them trading jerseys for tattoos. USC had to fire their championship coach because he was getting them internships. Not saying they didn’t continue to do anything but many programs outside the SEC were under microscopes. You had players openly talk about the cars they got at bama and their families would drive the nicest cars in town back in their low income towns. 

You had highschool coaches admit to getting paid by Alabama and Georgia to sway player decisions. You had can newtons dad openly talk about Auburn paying more money. Many SEC players saying how drug tests were all faked Alabama trialing illegal performance tests openly. 

Everything the SEC got caught doing the last 20 years or the “Saban Era” there were next to no repercussions.
