Auburn fan here, just want to make some points on why $300k story seems unreasonable
-Auburn 'allegedly' paid Cam Newton $180k, no way a fringe 5* basketball player gets $300k

-Auburn is in Alabama, we can't afford $300k for both 85 FB players and 13+ BBall players.

-Bruce prefers payment in BBQs not cash

We may have paid him, but $300k seems like a stretch brochachos




Thought I'd start by getting them to admit that the story is cleary BS. Then run with the idea it is all a lie and we don't actually pay players


Going to have fun with this

Some people are just flat out ignorant.

Found this gem on one of UConn's main forums. Apparently we paid Heron and his father $300K, and they are perplexed as to how such a likable, hugely successful, and big name coach can get 4 and 5 star talent. LINK


any knowledgeable bball fan knows that that ain't how it works on the AAU recruiting circuit. The coaches/schools RARELY get involved directly with paying players. That stuff gets funneled in through the AAU coaches and/or local liasons for the shoe companies tied in with the AAU teams. Auburn ain't payin nobody...that isn't saying that Under Armour isn't making sure that Auburn is getting our fair share of Under Armour AAU guys.

That all being said, wasn't Heron's team a Nike squad?

Why would we sit Heron?


More importantly if Brown and Spencer player they aren't starting.

Work let out early so I'm going to get to watch this one. This is a game that could really turn our season if we win it yet we don't really hurt ourselves with a loss.
