But what proof is there that they did improve as people WHILE AT auburn? The harsh discipline they received prior to getting to auburn is why they changed their ways. If Marshall had gone to say...NC State after getting kicked out of UGA and kept his nose clean, would it be that they are such great molders of men? Or is it just something about the auburn water that makes people reform?

I've had a DUI before, and I was punished severely. If I was kicked out of the state and had to move to carolina afterwards, and didn't get any more DUIs, it wouldn't be because carolina is so good at molding people. It'd be because I learned from my past mistake and quit getting DUIs. I don't really see any evidence that marshall and cam are better people simply BECAUSE they transferred to auburn.

If you don't want to give Auburn credit for it I can live with that, but it's pretty obvious that two dumb young kids grew up during their tenures here.

I'll give auburn, and any school, credit where it's due. I just don't see any definitive evidence that those 2 are better people because of their time in auburn. Better when they left than when they left high school? Sure, of course. But I think that's far more to do with the fact that they received punishemtn and discipline along the way, before getting to auburn.

Not to get drawn into all this, but Cam and Nick both became pretty involved in the Auburn community (whether it was visiting local schools, seeing youth groups, food/clothing drives, etc) all of which was voluntary on their part. In my eyes, when someone in their situation voluntarily gives back to a community, it shows signs of improving their character.
