I love how this guy is using stuff he heard on Finebaum as his means of knowing the inside scoop of what everyone in the SEC offices and the NCAA are thinking.

It would better his argument if he said "I heard on Finebaum" at the beginning of each of his posts, instead of passing it off as his own thoughts and information.


I can assure you the people I am speaking of do not listen to Finebaum for their information, they might listen to him for a good laugh.

No kidding, they never proved WHERE the money went. They couldn't do it, no matter how hard they tried. But they nailed us anyway. Keep believing its over, that'll make it so much better if the ncaa grows a pair and acts.


They did prove where the money went. $200,000 and a couple of Range Rovers showing up in the possesion of two high school football coaches is tough to hide.

You had an assistant coach - Milton Kirk - blowing the whistle on the whole operation because Lynn Lang (the head coach) cheated him out of part of his cut.

It was the same thing in the Reggie Bush case. You had a whistleblower - the spurned agent. This guy funneled benefits to Bush and his family because he hoped he would one day reap dividends when Bush was the #1 pick in the NFL. When Bush didn't return the favor, he cried foul. And he provided testimony and evidence to the NCAA throughout the process.

Notice also that many southern states have enacted tough state laws that deal with pro sports agents and their minions trying to improperly contact or provide benefits to current players. The irony of these laws is that they discourage disgruntled agents (like the Bush case) from coming forward and blowing the whistle when things don't pan out the way they hoped.

Again.. Bama's guilt is admitted. And the denials before it were in step to the one's being offered up in Auburn's case right now.

The SEC office was pissed because they chose to make this public. Again Slive wants to protect the image of the SEC and did not like the idea of someone within the MS AD going around the process.


Mike Slive sat on this Newton volcano has long as his wrinkled old arse could hold down the lava. MSU/Mullen along with Meyer saw that Slive refused to act, so they felt that they HAD to take actions into their own hands and go directly to the NCAA. And somehow the media caught wind of the whole saga.

Dumb arse... I was saying you listen to Finebaum. You are saying nothing he hasn't said.

Most people who have good connections to the inside scoop don't post them on message boards. They just read how idiotic people are who claim to, and eat popcorn with a smug grin.

I'd be willing to bet, of all of the outlets or posters here, there is someone who has been contacted to help the NCAA brainstorm their options and intentions, as well as their ultimate goals. I'd also be willing to bet money Auburn is not privy to this information.

And we paid our debt (sanctions) and suffered for our sins (Dubose/Price/Shula).

Hey, DA. I only post now because I am confident it is over. I will tell you Auburn has been in step with the NCAA from day one on this issue. I laughed when everyone was wondering how Cam was cleared by the NCAA after only one day. I an not revealing anything when I say the NCAA has been pleased with Auburns reaction to the Cam Case, eventhough the haters have had problems with it.

He's just gone to read more from the Auburn Beat and Finebaum so he can add more profound inside information about various agencies' thoughts and agendas.

Sorry, i had to leave this thread earlier. It looks like I didn't miss much.

WDE24 - Do YOU work for the NCAA?
No.
quote:

You are very supportive of them, their enforcement, etc. Hell, you are supportive of everybody.
I am not that supportive of them. I understand why they made the decision they did. It doesn't mean Cam or AU is innocent, they just didn't have any proof otherwise and they weren't willing to punish Cam and AU based only on evidence of Cecil's conduct.
quote:

You think that Cecil Newton "made a mistake" and "saw the error of his ways" when MSU spurned him in his pursuit of payment for Cam. You think Cecil therefore, shunned MSU, repented for his transgressions, and thought it would be a better decision for Cam to attend a holy place like AU.
Not really. I have just stated that that (without your biased editorial) is a possible scenario.

Ok.

Then why the hell did the NCAA think it was necessary to question two of Cecil's contractor's in late December?
I'm pretty sure that was Blue Tuna and BamaMom impersonating NCAA investigators.

Yes. Just as you were confident on your Gadsden rumors.

Chiz said it was garbage and Cecil was good family, only days later to regret that.
At least be intellectually and factually honest. Chiz's garbage statement was made regarding the academic cheating info being reported, it had nothing to do with the other stuff.

Part of it was. Cecil had nothing to do with the academic part. He inserted his name, intending to cover everything that was happening, only to have 4 days later Cecil admit he shopped Cam. That blew up in his face and you can't deny that. Well, you can, like the other, but it would continue to show your unobjectivity.

I was confident that all the bama signee's were driving Dodge Chargers and had jobs with local RE members prior to signing. That all turned out to be fact.

he didn't insert Cecil's name he merely mentioned that Cam was a good kid from a good family. Maybe he was referring to other family members. Maybe he thinks that overall Cecil is a good person, but did something stupid. Or maybe he was just caught up in defending Cam that he erred in making that statement, but if you watch the press conference, it is clear that the garbage comment was specifically addressing the academic cheating allegations.

BTW, it is not a big deal just trying to keep the facts straight.

Spin spin spin. You spewed more innuendo and untruths than just about all other Aubies. Yet it's your very own program under the gun for improprieties now. Maybe if you'd kept as close an eye on Auburn, you could have interjected and brought administration officials to light on the situation. Then again, they likely knew ahead of time.

And maybe Cam didn't know he was being shopped or his dad was his agent, even though his dad started picking his schools in Jr. College and he did what was told.

Or maybe, Cam is dirty and Auburn knew it and has done as much as they could to cover it and went all no comment so that they didn't screw up their stories, since Cam was changing his, from his arrest up to the SI article that tried to paint him in a positive light, but which contradicted other statements he made.
