For what? Worst case scenario is that he would've been ineligible to play and we'd have forfeited the games he had played. Auburn knew about the attempts by the Miss State booster to get $ for him before the season started and he wouldn't have played him if it had been a violation.


You're missing his point.

He's saying past NCAA administrations would've nailed Auburn's balls to the floor based on heresay and supposition. We're now in the NCAA that requires proof (thanks to the universities fighting back with legal action).

It would not have mattered if Auburn was innocent or not. If the NCAA had gotten one impression that they were not being forthcoming or guilty, regardless if they actually were, there was a time that Auburn would've gotten hammered (not to the extreme used in his example, but still). Thankfully, we no longer exist in that vacuum of proof.

He said the fact there were athletes in his program was unknown to him, which is BS.


in that major, not in his college in general. And its very plausible, he was also new.

quote:

You think the dean of whatever school Cam Newton was in didn't know Cam was in his college? Come on man.


Cam was pretty prolific, so yes. But just throw some other player and a very different story.

quote:

The CEO doesn't know every employee, but he knows the employees who are relevant to his business and he knows the ones who works for his company that his peers value (i.e. the "connected" people in his company).


So grad students, professors and employees. Undergrads are a dime a dozen to Deans.

quote:

I'm not arguing that this is a big issue. It's not, in my opinion. My point is that the Dean needs to shut up because he's not really helping himself here. If he just shuts up then the weekend will get here and it's a non-issue next week.


you are making a mountain our of a mole hill but making some very broad assumptions

They need to check that guy's bank records. As though the new dean would not be told yhe athletic departmrnt had offered to pay for the major. Utterly unbelievable

But there was no heresay (other than message board fodder)about Auburn in that case at all. None. Only the assumption that since his father asked Miss State for $ that he received it from Auburn.
The last time we got nailed there was proof in an audio recording.

As far as I know Auburn fully cooperated with the NCAA even before the media blew it wide open.

Not at all. I'm just chatting with some folks on the internet. Fact of the matter is, my company does marketing, advertising, and PR. I know what I'm talking about in this regard, so my point is that the dean is exercising poor PR and someone is allowing him to do it.

If he just stays quiet then the weekend gets here and people move on with their lives and forget about it. Then next week the entire focus is on first week of college football and it's a dead issue. His comments breath life into it unnecessarily so. If this broke on Monday it would be a different story. Then he could make a comment. Timing matters.

Nice, I love the deflection response thread. Please do more.

I feel we can get this off the ground with more effort.


It's all about the championship run. We need this to blow up big.

UGA does have a masters in public administration. The difference is, UGA's program is world class and tied with Princeton and Syracuse as the #2 MPA in the country.
