Despite never entering the portal.

Auburn cheats and still can’t win. fricking losers.

CBS Report

quote:

That big offer came his way: $1.5 million from an SEC school for a single season, according to the quarterback. Taulia didn't name the school, but according to sources familiar with the situation, Auburn was after Maryland's quarterback. That created a complicated situation for Taulia, who started his career at Alabama and whose brother won a national championship at the school. Could Tagovailoa really leave Maryland to play at Alabama's biggest rival?

At times, the answer looked like yes. Taulia hadn't entered the transfer portal yet, but that hadn't stopped a message from making its way to him and his family that there was a lot of outside interest in his abilities.



It got serious enough that Tua, now with the Miami Dolphins, got involved. Tua, who won Locksley his first national championship in 2017, couldn't stand to let his younger brother go to Alabama's biggest rival.

"We're an Alabama family," Tua told his younger brother. "You're not going to Auburn."



"I got a homeboy discount because we ain't paying him one point five [million]," Locksley said. "Now, down the road, would we? Who knows how this thing's gonna shake out."

By turning down that payment, Taulia saved a lot of trees.

Have you seen Auburn’s QB play?

He was completing 67% of his passes and had thrown for 3,000+ yards in back to back seasons preceding the offer.

He might have been worth it to them.

In similarly believable news, Kamala Harris will win in landslide fashion.

I don’t think Maye ever had any serious interest in Alabama, but he certainly used us to get a better offer from UNC. I don’t blame him.
