t is not outside the realm of possibility that the NCAA still has a boner for both Mississippi State and Auburn over the Cam Newton saga and are thus looking for any possible reason to stomp on them.

Are you also saying the extreme sanctions for the mild Alabama textbook scandal were simply repercussions for the many years that Bear Bryant was cheating and they couldn't ever catch him?

What issue and were you dropped on your head as a child?

If the NCAA wanted to hammer AU or MSU it could have. It could have very easily made sure Newton was declared ineligible and for AU to sit him for a game to cause us to lose one.

MSU ended up disassociating a booster over this and had people on record saying non-coaches were involved in the recruitment of players. How they escaped with no major sanctions is beyond me.

If the NCAA wanted AU they could have drilled AU during the long intensive investigation they had on AU. You VASTLY underestimate the scrutiny AU took during that time. I never in a million years thought any program could come out of that in the clear, not even Harvard or Yale.

I've never been able to understand why MSU didn't get even a sniff from the NCAA - while they had their noses all up AU's arse for over a freaking year. I lost any respect I may have had left for the NCAA when that shite happened.

I've never understood that one. AU went through a colonoscopy under the Cam mess due to the Press and some people's agenda and yet MSU was ignored and yet they were the ones that we had confirmed legit information they were involved in major violations.

Bama fan before you get too excited, can you tell me what happened with this guy? (FYI - This is a suburb of Memphis)/////
TUSCALOOSA, Alabama -- Brandon Hill, the freshman offensive lineman who has not yet been cleared academically by the NCAA, remains a no-show at Alabama.
"We're expecting something to happen probably sometime today so we know where we're heading with him, in terms of what he needs to do to get eligible to be here with us," Alabama football coach Nick Saban said after Tuesday's practice.
Saban mentioned Hill by name for the first time.
An administrator at St. George's High School in Collierville, Tenn., said Monday that a decision is coming very soon

I trust you to use your superior investigative skills to ferret this shite out and keep us Bama informed.

Well, it looks like only one grade was changed, so I don't get it. He could have gone to prep school over the summer and qualified. That lady certainly didn't do the kid any favors.

TennStud Updates...
(Today 11:24)
The NCAA has been here in Memphis. One individual promised the NCAA he would not say anything about the meeting so things said at the meeting were off the record, secret, and I can't post about the NCAA what they're looking at etc.

A writer for the Birmingham paper just called telling me that someone had told them that I was involved in the Jovon Robinson situation, having moved the family, etc. I told him I wouldn't recognize Jovon or his mother if they both were in a police lineup

Yesterday...

Milton Kirk, "the snitch", according to many of his comtemporaies because he broke the code of silence among coaches and stopped them from getting money from Logan and others, just called to say that he wanted to attend today's lunch and tell "all" about what's going on in Memphis city schools, promising to name names, schools, etc. He also said he would go on a sports talk radio show, also.

So... wait... he knows everything about Memphis recruiting, is a dissociated booster, admits to knowing Jovon's high school coach quite well and even vouched that he was a good guy on the internet, broke the story of Jovon's grade change before the press (quite inexplicably btw, since such information is protected by federal privacy laws), and Jovon was heavily recruited by UT, but then he would not recognize the best prospect out Memphis?

I call bullshite on that one. Now the press is calling him and claiming they he was responsible and all of a sudden he knows nothing... Right.

Somebody got their hand caught in the cookie jar.
