By the way, when did Auburn start answering allegations? It used to be no comment. Something is different this time around.
This is different, AU actually worked with ESPN on the story and knew it was coming out. Unfortunately ESPN left out a lot of info that painted a different picture. AU knew the story was coming out and was ready for it. Not to mention spice wasn't banned by the NCAA so we can comment freely

Sure seems that way. Nice to actually hear them address things rather than "no comment".
the reason is this isn't an NCAA matter... this story on spice occured prior to the NCAA placing it on their banned substances list.
AU won't comment on the other baseless accusations b/c there's the potential for an NCAA investigation... schools are barred from commenting until the investigation is over.

Well, if teachers were changing them when they are bad, then the grades are never in question. It's a forgone conclusion that they will be a passing grade.

I honestly didn't find the ESPN story damning to Auburn at all. What people have to do is put yourself in the 2010 mindset. At that time if you weren't a college student or someone working in public safety (EMS or LE), odds are good you didn't even know spice existed. I'm a volunteer EMT and work for a LE and the first time I heard of it was around 2006 (it was called K2 then).
Everybody was behind the curve. In Auburn's case, the abuse resulted in some very high profile incidents but nobody should think their programs were somehow different.
You had a 'new' drug with unpredictable effects that was legal and undetectable. Throw in just a couple of bad apples (which exist in every program) and you've got a recipe for disaster at some program and it happened to be Auburn.
The amazing thing to me is that it didn't happen in more places.

So you've just accepted that statement about dyer's grades as conclusory and are unwilling to look at refutable evidence?
Whats the point of talking about it then?

While this could be true, it could never be proven it was done on an unfair basis or was unfair enough to the point that it should be called to attention.

I actually kind of like this response from Jay Jacobs for once. Basically, here is what we told them about our practices...here is what they said in the article...form your own opinion on why they didn't frame the whole picture. Kind of refreshing.

Wow, espn is trying to go all yahoo sports. I feel sorry for auburn. Yall have had a shite storm since 2010. Alabama has won 3 National championships, why not investigate them? I'm sure if auburn was smoking spice in 2010 so was Alabama.

Synthetic marijuana became ILLEGAL in Alabama July 1, 2010, before the 2010 football season.
quote:
On April 22, 2010, the Alabama Legislature passed HB697, making it illegal to possess chemical compounds, HU-210, JWH-018, JWH-073 and salvia divinorum or salvinorum A. Former state Rep. James Gordon was among the sponsors of the bill, which became effective which became effective July 1, 2010.

It really doesnt matter anyways, who was smoking spice at that time. Now if they would like to focus on actual issues that matter, like spice after aug 2011, thats another story

He did not read the part where manufacturers changed the ingredients to get around the spice laws as they were written.
