i think that with the timing of the allegations and auburn being as successful as they are this year the ncaa is trying to cash in on a big NC game. auburn going down would have been a big hit for them.



That's not how the NCAA thinks for one. That may be how some see, but it isn't the case. The NCAA doesn't care about their money as much as the teams following the rules. Ever since Emmert took over he has handled each case properly and efficiently. I don't see this being any other way. Second , The NCAA doesn't even award a NC. The BCS , AP, coaches, and Lee county boys club do.

You honestly think money didn't play a part in the decision process?

I have to ask you a serious question. Do you believe in Santa Clause?

How much money was lost due to the Bush findings? Did the PAC-10 or NCAA give money back to anyone?

What did the SEC and NCAA stand to lose if Cam were found not eligible? Give me just your best guess rounded in millions.

Emmert handled it properly and efficiently.

Let's collect the money, then deal with it later, if we have to. No different than Slive.

They have left the door open to later reveal any pertinent findings, but they are not in the pertinent findings business, when it results in loss of profits.

They laughed in everyone's face, stuck us in their pocket, fed us farts, until we're old enough to eat shite. Pretty much the same treatment we receive from our lawmakers and politicians.

Look, I want to see Auburn play Oregon with Cam Newton. I've always wanted the SEC to win every year, and a strong Auburn is a strong LSU, IMO. But, I would have been better off not knowing what took place. And, I would have been better off not having my memory refreshed on what took place years ago.
