Ole Miss is accusing Lane Kiffin of tampering—and while they might technically be right, that’s not the real story.
In today’s college football landscape, tampering isn’t an exception—it’s the norm. LSU isn’t doing anything that dozens of other programs aren’t also doing behind the scenes, and the NCAA has shown time and time again that it has no real power to enforce the rules.
So why is Ole Miss pushing this now?
Because Lane Kiffin left—and this is about embarrassment, not enforcement.
We break down why Ole Miss knows exactly how this ends, why Kiffin knows it too, and how that explains his continued social-media trolling—including retweeting a post claiming LSU running back Harlem Berry was leaving Baton Rouge for Ole Miss, something Kiffin knows isn’t happening.
We also discuss a report that Kiffin is expected to accompany Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry to the Sugar Bowl matchup between Ole Miss and Georgia—and why that would be a terrible idea from every possible angle.
This episode is about leverage, optics, and the reality of modern college football—where rules exist, enforcement doesn’t, and everyone knows it.
