I'm assuming he is referring to the incident where we chose to sit out Andre for the Utah Sugar Bowl after learning some uncle was talking to agents. As far as we knew, Andre was not aware of this and wasn't even that close to the uncle, but we sat him anyways.

Not trying to be snarky at all here, just wondering what you think: If it had been the BCSCG that year instead of the Sugar Bowl against Utah, do you think Saban would have sat him? Or would he have used the Auburn "if the player doesn't know then he should be eligible" defense even before Auburn's lawyers came up with that winning strategy?
