I'm sure they've still got that money sitting in a savings account earning interest.

Imagine the coach told the recruit
Still, AU basketball is fricked for now.

What are some other examples of players taking funds from agents while still in college, and what were the penalties? There is your start. Obviously wins are vacated, players ineligible, coaches lifetime ban...what were the schollies lost?

I think you're right, that's a good place to start. Although I think that kind of money coming from a coach takes things to a different level, IDK.

It may be technically with players, not recruits, but I can see the NCAA thinking if multiple players on the team are getting cash on the side, then it could be viewed as a perk that recruits could know about. Maybe they have to enroll before getting the cash, but it's something that could be known to them. You also may have to look at when Wiley officially became an AU player. I dont know when he signed or enrolled, but I know he didn't start playing until January because he graduated early. In November, when some of this apparently went down, what was his official status?

Player 2 wasn't involved until January.

Don't want an Eric Dickerson situation - driving to SMU in the Trans Am the Aggies bought him.

May have to think of the possibility that the conversation in November enticed him to enroll early and play in January.

The question is "When did JJ know , and what did he do"?
Posted on 9/26/17 at 11:42 am to PearlJam
Maybe not. Just thinking of the scenarios from which the NCAA could look at it.
Posted on 9/26/17 at 11:49 am to pvilleguru
Im sure the NCAA won't care that auburn hired a guy with a show cause.

I think it's really important actually.
I think the natural consequences of this (ineligible players gone, players not wanting to come to AU for a while, potential coaching turnover even if Pearl wasn't really aware/involved) are likely to exceed the NCAA consequences.

I agree. If anything auburn will be placed on probation, get a new staff.

My sister burnt up her engine one time and it wouldn't go anywhere. I asked her when was the last time she changed her oil? She said she can't remember ever changing it. I said, well there's your problem. She asked me if she put oil in the car would it start working again?
You remind me of my sister...
