I think the real key in the PR was that Auburn and the NCAA agreed on certain facts. I have a feeling that AU was looking at things one way all season, and now as more things have come out through the NCAA interviews some new facts have come out. Maybe Auburn was looking at things one way all along, the NCAA comes ina says they see it this way (starting around AU homecoming game) and the interim weeks they have been going back and forther because there isn't enough proof one way or another so they finally say "we can both agree to things happening this way..." and by agreeing to that, Auburn has to admit to something being not particularly on the up and up as they had been saying for so long.
I could buy most of that, but I just find it interesting that most other programs probably would have requested this at the beginning of the season...rather than at the end of it. The timing is certainly suspect in all of this. I really don't think this ends well for Auburn in the long run...and the timing as stated above is their downfall.

Then AU could have declared Cam ineligible before the season and had him reinstated before the first or second game, which happens all of the time. Had that happened, this would have been no big deal. Especially considering no one knew at that time how good Cam would be and what kind of a difference maker he is.
