SIAP...checked didn't see it.

quote:

Auburn's football program changed players' grades to secure eligibility, offered money to potential NFL draft picks so they would return for their senior seasons, and violated NCAA recruiting rules under former coach Gene Chizik, according to a report by former New York Times and Sports Illustrated writer Selena Roberts.

The report appears on Roberts' website, Roopstigo.com. According to three former Auburn players, as many as nine players' grades were changed before Auburn's win in the 2011 BCS national championship game.

"We thought we would be without (running back) Mike Dyer because he said he was one of them, but Auburn found a way to make those dudes eligible," former Auburn defensive lineman Mike Blanc told Roberts.

ETA: Now I'm confused as frick...ESPN is carrying this as "breaking" yet article is dated April 4, 2013.

My bad if so. Let the down votes reign down upon me and my soul if so.

Read the ETA dickheads.

Can't help that they sent it out as "breaking". Shouldve known better than to trust ESPN.

Obviously a very slow day there or something.

It's being retweeted at a crazy rate, too.

ESPN trolled the frick outta everybody.

I feel like Serraneaux right now.

It's not a pleasant experience.

Isn't that punishment enough?

I woulda thought twice about posting after seeing the muschamp bit in the article let alone the fact that it's four years old, but that's just me.

Auburn fans are used to it. Their futile Cam Newton witchhunt efforts were embarrassing for their own standards.

BTW, wtf is with the Sportscenter at 6 program? Nothing entertaining about that shite at all. Put it on at noon right after the PBA where it belongs.

Pretty sure all this started because this AU dude retweeted the story

An ATL radio show picked it up as well as breaking news. Shows how bad people are at reading these days

Obviously I didn't read the entire article. I assumed it was legit...and you know what they say about assuming.
