There were a lot of bagmen doing work at Auburn in those days. Those were the halcyon days of Bagmen at AU.

Wayne Hall and Bobby Lowder were Kings of baggage.

Auburn didn't win the SEC until the year after Barkley left...with Chuck Person still there.

Taking money is a pre-req on the plains. Wonder how many BBQs Pearl has thrown?

Alabama accusing Auburn of cheating is like Snooki telling Halle Berry she's ugly.

The Heisman Trophy winner checked into a Philadelphia hotel under a false name, the better to keep things hush-hush. The agent handed him a contract, along with two bonus checks totaling $10,500.



The young man signed.



Roughly a month later, the same Heisman Trophy winner placed a call with another agent, this one promising a more lucrative contract, along with a $20,000 bonus, ownership of five gas stations, half-interest in an as-yet-unformed eponymous oil company and, just because, a Cadillac for his father.







The young man eagerly agreed.



Oh, and two days after that, he played his final college game.



Pop quiz: Is this part of a current college sports scandal, like the one at North Carolina, where a former assistant football coach allegedly introduced players to an agent?

You are a deflecting piece o' shite...going after LSU now because they are being mean to poor ol' AU.

C'mon man, switch up the MO a little. The predictability is getting stale.

If I am deflecting, at least the examples I am bringing up are legitimate. I can still remember numerous bammers constanty trying to deflect from threads about how crazy their fan base is by bringing up ridiculous examples of the behavior of other fan bases

This is rich coming from a gumptard. You people invented cheating. Not a surprise that some of the best at it including Ford, Sherrill, Dye, Pell, etc all were on Bear Bryants teams or staff.

Article does note that Barkley already said the same that he took money from agents, on the Dan Patrick radio show 4 years ago.

Barkley is awesome.

I think everyone already knows bama pretty much invented cheating in college football. No need to state the obvious there and derail the thread and discussion about the points Barkley is making about bball players being one and done.

In a league full of dirty schools, Auburn is the filthiest. Got to tip my hat to them, though.
