We were paying our two best players to leave.
No. You weren't paying them to leave. You were paying your two best players to use certain representation when they did leave. They're all temporary. Every one of them. They all leave. The best ones leave sooner, and as you said, these were your two best ones.
I know Auburn fans are doing their best to spin this as something that doesn't help Auburn, but the reality is that top recruits would clearly be able to see that if they go to Auburn, the coaching staff could hook them and their families up with cash down the road if they are pro prospects.

So you think Person was advertising this?
That is your argument.

I agree that the "paying them to leave" thing is a spin
It's premised on the idea that the "paying" aspect is very different from "paying" in most NCAA/cheating contexts. But it's more accurate to just identify that so far, payments were not funded by AU people for the benefit of AU, but rather by a third party for the benefit of the third party.

quote:People keep saying this because Person was quoted as telling the mom of one of the players he wanted him to leave for the NBA after the season.
No. You weren't paying them to leave.
quote:A money manager was paying our assistant coach to steer players to him and the assistant funneled some of that money to players families.
You were paying your two best players to use certain representation when they did leave.
quote:There is a chance Person used this as a recruiting ploy, but given the small amount of money that he funneled to the parents, I doubt that is the way this played out. The indictment really makes it seem like Person was simply being an opportunistic a-hole to line his own pockets.
