"I think the most I took was $20,000. It made me stay in school another year. $20,000 is not a lot of money, but I was able to do some stuff for my mother and grandmother and I had some spending money. I'm cool. I don't have to go into the real world of the NBA after one college season."
According to Barkley, Auburn's athletic department discouraged him from taking "serious classes," fearing he could flunk them and become academically ineligible. He believes the college athletic system is "broken" and there is more cheating in recent years because more money is at stake.
Auburn cheats and is a corrupt academic institution. Water is wet.

That must be how we got him to not transfer to Bama.

Big surprise. Every big time SEC program (as well as mot other big name programs) have had a ton of NCAA violations nobody ever knew about. The world keeps spinning.

Can we vacate all of Auburn's basketball wins since 1984?
All 10 of them . . .

It was news to me, but it would appear you are correct.

In 2010, Barkley told Dan Patrick he accepted money from agents and former Auburn coach Sonny Smith wasn't surprised.
"I don't doubt that kind of stuff happened," Smith said in 2010. "We were doing our best to stop that, but agents were everywhere."

Money was from agents not Auburn. Everybody with a competitive athletic program outside of a Stanford type school encourages their athletes to take easier classes.

You seriously felt the need to respond to that troll coming from a bammer? DJ Fluker admitted to taking money from a sports agent as recently as 2012. What did the NCAA do about it? Oh yeah, nothing

I know a guy who got a call from the LSU coaching staff and put 20k on his doorstep in a paper sack so Shaq could cut his grass. Shaq took the money and the grass was not cut.

Marcel Dareus also took money from an agent while he was at Alabama. Almost forget about that. The NCAA didn't do much about that situation either

I'm not one to ever say an unkind word about Cam, but the very first time I saw the documentary where he said that....I was convinced....
