Auburn is not amused, especially since it is serving a two-year NCAA probation (no TV, no bowl) for recruiting violations, and the feeling is rampant among War Eagles that it was Alabama that turned them in. Still, Doug Barfield coached his team to an 8--3 recordthis year.....

Bama turns in AU on legitimate violation. AU boosters pay a former Bama player to make allegations. Blinded by hatred, Jelks spilled his guts to Larry, a man he later learned had ties to Auburn University. Jelks said several Auburn supporters pressed him to report Alabama at the time, providing him with a home, cash and anything else he needed. Jelks said he stayed in a townhouse in the suburbs while lawyers spoke to the NCAA.
