How is kiffin riding with officials not a conflict of interest?
Long story short, the busses left Lane Kiffin on the way back to the hotel and Lane got a ride back to the hotel with an official that will be officiating the game...
I know the official was probably just trying to be nice, but does this seem like it would be a conflict of interest to anyone else? I'm shocked that the NCAA does not prohibit any contact with officials prior to the game.
