re: Discussion Thread for McClover/Keys allegations and purported HBO story

You make another good point. I have a rub though as well with the "the coach had $200,000 part". That's an urban legend that changes with the year and hasn't been proven. The "deal" was for that much and maybe he eventually would have gotten that but he didn't get $200k off the bat like is conveniently thrown around. My understanding is he got sizable four figure installments (ultimately WAY below 6 figures) before the whistle was blown. Still bad, but not the ridiculous $200k that always gets thrown around.

I agree about Cam's new money. It will make it much harder to find any money that may have changed hands. I don't think a link would've involved a simple cash transfer in this case though. I think if the payment occurred in was so buried in layers by Auburn people that it would be an absolute bitch trying to actually connect the two.

I've thought for a while now that if Auburn ultimately gets busted it will be from something other than Camgate. I think CamGate will end up being the thing that got the NCAA on the trail of other things IF Auburn ends up in trouble.
