Some interesting thoughts on this situation...

Certain people are willing to throw a lot of money to get Gus. There are certain people who are not on board with this. We will see who wins out today or tomorrow.
Now, here are my thoughts on our program going forward...and I take this from someone telling me "some of these guys are willing to do whatever it takes to be relevant again"
My thoughts...I hope this doesn't turn into an Ole Miss situation...younger money is more prone to take the route of doing things under the table than older money. At least, in my experiences. Younger generations seem to want results quickly, while older money can go the route of wait and build it. I think if Gus is hired, the program has a CHANCE, again, has a chance of getting a little "iffy" on the recruiting front, etc.

Good.
Let’s just not be stupid about it like OM or the Wild West SMU days.
I have no end of trouble understanding how players getting paid under the table somehow turned into an issue of morality and right/wrong, especially when coaches are making Fortune 10 CEO money now.

I'm glad someone else around here with some "cred" is telling these folks this. I've been trying to tell people this for awhile now. Gus Malzahn doesn't have unanimous approval of the folks that would need to sign off on this deal.
And he isn't gonna get that approval either. It comes down to two things. 1) money, and 2) people just don't like the guy.
Sorry to all the Malzahnistas, but I would be extremely surprised if that guy ends up coaching here. EVER

Also, we will need everyone else to step their $100 handshake game up

Yeah, that's the ticket. Let's depend on teenagers, many of which could barely muster a high school diploma, and make them a link in a chain of cheating. No doubt the NCAA will let us slide like they have Alabama, Auburn, and North Carolina several times.
We go that route, and lots of folks will find another team to support. If not immediately, then certainly when we are dealing with bowl bans, scholarship reductions, and a tarnished image as cheating pieces of shite.
If you would trade the recent success Ole Miss has experienced for the price they are going to be paying for the next several years, you aren't a real hog fan, in my opinion.

Except that's not what's being discussed
Lots of teams cheat. State offered Leo Lewis's family $80,000 and they aren't facing any sanctions

No, that's exactly what is being discussed. Some just think we'll do it better and smarter than those who've been caught and paid the price for it.
Graveyards and prisons are full of idiots like this.

Soliciting names for the Charger fund. Can I put you down as a “maybe”?

Right over my head, I guess. Glad to discuss whatever you'd like, but you'll have to explain.

As in Dodge Charger fund? Gotcha. Sorry not this year. Maybe we could just hire a good coach and recruiter instead?

Frank Fletcher has it covered.

It’s about time they step up their game.
I have a 15 year old that’s over 6 foot and 305 lbs..... Daddy needs a new tractor

Simple answer
Auburn is good at cheating
Arkansas, no experience at cheating
Recipe for disaster
