re: Confirmed: NCAA investigation of Auburn continues

He peppered Roe Lach with a flurry of questions about the N.C.A.A.’s investigation into Cam Newton and why the N.C.A.A. had not publicly announced that the investigation was over. Chizik complained that the inquiry’s open-ended nature had hurt Auburn’s recruiting and he followed up at least three times, leading to a testy exchange.

Translation: _____ get off me

“You’ll know when we’re finished,” Roe Lach told Chizik, according to several coaches who were at the meeting. “And we’re not finished.”

Translation: 6-14 months n still nuffin

Both the N.C.A.A. and Auburn acknowledged last year that Newton’s father, Cecil, had offered his son’s services to Mississippi State for $180,000. Cam Newton told the N.C.A.A. that he had no knowledge of the proposed transaction. Soon after, in a controversial decision, the N.C.A.A. declared him eligible to play the rest of the season. He went on to lead Auburn to the national title and win the Heisman Trophy. He now awaits his new role as quarterback for the Carolina Panthers.

ok.....? Breaking news guess I haven`t watched sportcenter let alone an Auburn game all year.

While Chizik has said that he and Auburn did not break any rules in recruiting Newton, Roe Lach made it clear that the N.C.A.A. is not done investigating.

Yeah we got it. They mean BUSINESS

“Obviously, I think that she was serious, and I obviously thought it was a good message, because you could tell that she and they are serious about what they’re doing and trying to do what they have to do to clean up some of the bad elements in college athletics,” said Vanderbilt Coach Kevin Stallings, one of four SEC basketball coaches who confirmed the exchange.

Yeah thanks for the input bro. Pretty intriguing quote. You got a conference where the best bball coaches are Bruce Pearl and John Calipari and also where the top football teams always seem to be under investigation. Lane Kiffen broke into the SEC, did his thang. vols fans click here

The exchange between Chizik and Roe Lach provided another example of the N.C.A.A.’s more vigorous emphasis on enforcement. The N.C.A.A. has increased and restructured its enforcement staff recently in an attempt to better handle its caseload.

Solid example of the SEC office changing its rules and going HAM on a school. Pretty sure it`s dirty from the top down, after all, its a culture not a sport. No way a NY times writer is going to break the story.

“It was obvious they were trying to be thorough,” said Stallings, who was with other basketball coaches at a recruiting event. “It was obvious they wanted everyone to know that there’s a more diligent pursuit than there’s been in the past. The staff is bigger and more aggressive. I thought that her message was a good one.”

Theres more people asking slightly better questions... Good strategy.

Mississippi’s basketball coach, Andy Kennedy, said that he believed Chizik “was trying to get some finality to when the process was over, and it was an interesting debate, to say the least. I think the format of the meeting was set up to be generally about the lay of the land going forward,” Kennedy continued. “When he got into specific questions regarding their situation, I think we were all sitting back saying, ‘I didn’t know that we were going here.’ ”

Translation: When are you gonna give up. You won`t answer my phone calls, texts, emails, nuthin. You got no power.


On another note, quit bein bitches because its the offseason. Nobody`s getting in trouble in the SEC. The Vols will lose a few scholarships and everything else will remain the same. The Willie Lyles n Calloway stories will keep coming to entertain us during the dead season. Same crazy epicness willl happen on the field come fall. Recruiting and college athletics is what it is. The media picking up on it won`t change anything other than creating more conversation. The SECR has become pretty terrible lately. Too many retards listening to finebaum and praying for the apocalypse.
