I think that what he is saying is (HIS point - NOT mine):
AU is innocent but they know that Cam is ineligible. As an innocent institution they're at no risk of NCAA penalty other than the vacating of wins (i.e. they will not be put on probation).
If they are innocent continuing to play him (even after they know he is ineligible) puts them squaerly in the NCAA crosshairs for sanctions. Therefore (according to this poster - NOT me) they must already feel that they will be put on probation from all this so why not win the most games they can on the way down. If they are innocent the only way they risk probation is continuing to play him, so why would they.

That is his assumption and opinion.
The NCAA did not advise AU to sit Cam.
What they did do, was interview Cam and his family in AU last week and after the interviews determined that Cam was eligible to play against UGA.

Good post
But I think the Auburn position they will argue is there is no credible information out there to say he's ineligible
I agree that this is not a plausible defense if Cam's father has indeed admitted to trying to sell him to MSU
