Wake Forest Athletic Director John Currie has issued a scathing response to Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin’s accusations of an “unwritten rule” governing college football.
“Unwritten Rule” Controversy
Kiffin sparked debate after suggesting:
– “There’s an unwritten rule that if you’re a Power Five school, you don’t schedule other Power Five schools in non-conference games.”
Wake Forest’s Rebuttal
Currie countered:
– “We’ve played 10 Power Five non-conference games since 2017… Lane’s claims are baseless.”
Currie emphasized Wake Forest’s commitment to challenging schedules:
– “We’ll continue to schedule games that benefit our program and excite our fans.”
Kiffin’s Motivation
Analysts speculate:
– “Kiffin’s comments are a thinly veiled attempt to justify Ole Miss’s weak non-conference schedule.”
Wake Forest’s scheduling approach:
– “Demonstrates a commitment to competitiveness and NCAA guidelines.”
Fan Reaction:
“Kiffin’s whining about scheduling is embarrassing!” – @WakeForestFan
“Currie’s response is classy and on point!” – @DemonDeacons
The Verdict:
Kiffin’s claims have sparked a wider debate:
Is there an “unwritten rule” governing college football scheduling?
Should Power Five schools prioritize challenging non-conference games?
