re: Do you believe your rival blatantly cheats/pays players?

All major programs have ways of supporting CERTAIN players. Georgia is not blatant with their cheating, but I believe they cheat. Bama is more blatant and more open about it. The money is laundered before it gets to KEY players. Auburn cheats, but we have never been able to outbid Bama for key players. (Yeldon comes to mind). The Flucker, Ttowns, house sitting, etc compare to the HBO 4.

I am 100% convince we did NOT pay Cecil for many reasons, the NCAA performed a colonoscopy and found nothing, every major news agency tried to find even a shred of evidence, our rivals tried to find evidence, Cecil is not smart enough to hide that much money. Also the only facts were that only MSU boosters had conversations with Cecil, did they ever agree to pay him? No, so why would we pay? If this had been an Auburn vs Bama discussion, I would have been worried.

Everyone cheats and if someone thinks otherwise, they are being naive at best.

Bama doesn't cheat nearly as much as you think, they don't have to. As an AU fan you may not like it, but guess what? They are Bama, they don't have to pay players as much as many other teams to convince them to come there when you have the sustained success they've had. I hate it too, it doesn't help UGA, but it is the way things are.

If you are really 100% convinced of that btw, then I am 100% convinced that you've got your head in the sand. Maybe you didn't pay him, but the evidence certainly insinuates that you did, it just doesn't prove it. NCAA couldn't look nearly as hard as you think, it is EASY to hide stuff from them, they don't have subpoena power. All Cecil had to do was simply not give them the info they needed. I agree he isn't smart enough to hide that money (I'm shocked he can actually tie his shoes), but you don't actually think he was the person tasked with hiding it, do you?

Why would AU pay for Cam? Because MSU was willing to pay too and you wanted him. Hell, MSU HAD him, most of those with any sort of connection at the time was hearing that he was done to MSU a couple weeks before his commitment, go ahead put him on the commit list. Auburn isn't pulling him on reputation alone if those reported amounts were really involved. Honestly, the fact that MSU was going to pay him that much and he did end up going to AU is all the proof you should need that AU did pay up.
