With knowledge that the player is ineligible. If we did not know, then acted once we found out then we're good.

USC knew about Reggie, Ohio State knew about tattoogate, Penn State knew about the molestations, etc, etc..

Doesn't matter how much chest thumping these other teams fans do, if we didn't have knowledge we'll get a minimal punishment if that. If DJ was still playing he would be suspended. That is all. Just like with AJ Green and UGA.

For instance if JFF were found guilty they wouldn't put the A&M on probation unless they hid something or had prior knowledge. They didn't, JFF wouldn't talk (neither would any other parties), so NCAA couldn't touch the school and all they could do was suspend JFF for a half.

Put it like this, there is a reason Saban kept highlighting that our current player(s) don't have any involvement.

Why? If our current player(s) did then NCAA could try to revoke our first win and ban the player(s) for future games. No current player is involved so the program is unaffected, especially considering the fact there is no information shown which proves we had prior knowledge and attempted to hide anything.

You guys should relax. Just sit back and watch those other teams fans laugh it up and pray that finally Saban will be gone. He won't be, we'll be fine and they'll be still angry.
