The NCAA didn't do much about that situation either


2 game suspension.

quote:

Mike Ward, Alabama's associate athletic director in charge of compliance, expressed appreciation of the NCAA's efforts.

"It is important to note that Marcell never intentionally violated any NCAA rules and did not knowingly receive any benefits from an agent," Ward said in a written statement. "Marcell lived up to the letter and spirit of the NCAA cooperative principle and the NCAA described him as 'one of the most truthful student-athletes we have ever interviewed.'

He wrote about this in his "autobiography" like 20 years ago.

Hasn't he admitted that he was willing to pay Dirk to go to Auburn?

That is pretty funny coming from a fan base that brought up something from 30 years ago like it has any relevance to today.

The DJ Fluker and Marcel Dareus situations both happened under Saban and they are just two of many Alabama athletes who have taken money from sports agents over the years

Something about that statement just doesn't look finalized.

Keep spouting the "but look at BAMA!" defense. I'm sure it will catch on eventually.

It still shocks me that Bama fans can say this with a straight face. Oh well.

In this history of mankind, has an auburn fan EVER responded to an accusation without a reference to Bama?

Is it really an unfair response when bammers are the people pushing the accusation against Auburn and trying to blow it out of proportion in the first place? I think not

The article is about Barkley saying he got paid at Auburn, Einstein.

But Alabama fans are the people who decided that a 30 year old incident was worth bringing to this board and trying to make a big deal out of it when they have had two seperate football players take money from sports agents just within the last 5 years.

Don't shoot the messenger Phan. Just because Bammer cheats doesn't make it OK for Aubren to.
