Lane Kiffin threatens to pay $25K SEC fine with pennies, struggles with math

On Monday, the SEC fined Lane Kiffin $25,000 for complaining about officiating.

It then admitted that Kiffin’s gripe was legitimate.

Kiffin is understandably frustrated.

The Mississippi football coach responded by threatening to pull a classic page out of the playbook of the fined and aggrieved — paying his bill in pennies.

Wait a second — 25,000 cents isn’t $25,000. Obviously.

That’s better.

Wait, nope. That’s not it either.

There you go. The math looks right on that one.
