In September 2007, associate commissioner for the SEC Charles Bloom stated in an email to the Associated Press, "Danny Nutt cannot be in the team bench area or in the coaches' box during the football games. He can watch the game from the sidelines [outside the team bench area] or any other area in the stadium that would not cause him to be deemed a countable member of the football staff." (read the full story here: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/news/story?id=3036307 )
So... why then does Danny Nutt continue to blatantly violate mandates from the NCAA and the SEC?
According to NCAA Bylaw 11.7.2, each institution may employ a maximum of 12 coaches in Division I-A football. This limit includes one head coach, nine assistant coaches and 2 graduate assistant coaches... and Danny Nutt is NOT one of the nine assistant coaches.
