Yeah for Bama because they beat your arse every year. To the rest of the SEC it's an easy win. It's not a marquis matchup.

One way it COULD hurt the conference...

From what I can tell in the documents, the NCAA has cited 5 "prospective" student athletes. One (student A) apparently went to OM and transferred to Auburn - he is the one who received the hunting trips. Student B is Lewis who ended up at State. Where did the other 3 end up? I've heard rumors of Bama, Georgia...

Those student athletes have immunity for anything improper that occurred during their recruitment/tenure with OM. Does that immunity extend to the institutions they transferred to/signed with? Especially for those who chose another school through recruitment - IF they admitted to receiving improper benefits from OM, some might argue it's possible they ultimately received more benefits from the school they finally selected. Could those schools be open to inquiry from the NCAA? Does it open a can of worms?

IF the NCAA thinks another school offered/paid more than OM, and that's why the students chose to go elsewhere, other investigations could follow. It would be bad for the conference to have that NCAA microscope out at 4-5 additional schools as a result of OM shenanigans.

Thoughts?
