I'm not sure that's true, UM and NS voting against it. I've had a couple of emails saying there were 3 SEC coaches that voted against it. I don't know for sure. In a nola.com article Miles tried to blame this on Mack Brown. That's BS considering it came from the SEC offices. I'll link the pdf. file in a few.
Miles voted against it as well. Though he has not been accused of violating the parameters of this recruiting privilege. http://www.lsubeat.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080424/SPORTS0202/804240325
