re: If Auburn Was Innocent.....

Let me give you another example. Let's say Mallett took $20K from an agent, before he got to AR and Arkansas knew nothing about it. Reports surfaced and his dad admitted to it. The NCAA advised that we sit him. We had done nothing wrong to this point, why wouldn't we sit him to not risk further penalties??

The bolded part has not happened and does not typically happen as I understand the process

The NCAA apparently just tells the schools to use their best judgment on sitting or not sitting players (based on what the schools know)

The hotly contested issue RE: Auburn is whether they really think they are in the clear or the chance for a SEC or NC makes it worth the risk of significant NCAA penalty - which again would come down to who knows what and did what

Dude, yes it does.

Just because AU could be innocent doesn't mean that Cam is. They aren't mutually exclusive.

Uh, no. Say, hypothetically, that you do sit him and win all four remaining games (including SEC Championship), yet you have to vacate the first 10 wins. So your official record is 4-10.

On the other hand, if you just pay attention to the fact that the NCAA and Auburn have been discussing this matter SINCE JULY, so how is sitting him now going to help anything?

Just because you didn't know anything about this two weeks ago doesn't mean that no one did. Get your head out of your arse and quit praying for the worst in Auburn.
