Actually Auburn is paying for an internal investigation. They've hired a law firm out of Birmingham to get to the bottom of what actually happened.
AFTER the FBI gets involved!....they'd better get their own started to try to defend themselves.

US attorney already said the schools and head coaches weren't implicated in their investigation, so they don't really have to defend anything from the FBI.

What in the frick do you think the word "completely" means?

Your post:

"It doesn't matter what he was paying them to do. He was an employee of Auburn University, and he was providing illegal benefits to student athletes.

Nothing else needs to be added to that paragraph. There is nothing that can possibly be said that can make the implication in that paragraph any less damning."


For the 12th time, this is completely false and any review of any major NCAA investigation would reveal that.

The NCAA does not have the powers to gather evidence that the Feds do... the NCAA also doesn't have the ability to leverage jail time.

This whole scam doesn't work unless the coach can recruit pro level players. This guy gets on staff and all of a sudden they land pro level players...

What the NCAA does to Auburn in penalties, if any, is probably not going to be as bad as the practical fallout

-Losing 2 or more good players
-Hindered recruiting
-Program upheaval
-Potential loss of Pearl

You do realize that bama had an asst. coach giving out "loans", correct? That was a coach giving out money. How did that turn out?

You're being intentionally obtuse

The guy is claiming the NCAA is strict liability and won't care about intent or knowledge of others in the program. That's what I'm responding to, and it's entirely false and keeps being repeated.

The cases are all different, genius.

This is what Auburn fans have been saying for two days. Thanks!

Auburn was not getting a competitive advantage from this. The penalties will be less severe because of this.........genius.

Carefully think about what I'm about to say:
The FBI can bring cases against individuals for violations of the law, while the NCAA can basically destroy college athletic programs for violations of their rules. Now, which organization can do the most harm to Auburn?

Auburn wasn't buying recruits. One coach was paid to steer two players to an agent/money manager. There is a difference. If the FEDS had said that Auburn was luring players to Auburn using these incentives, that would be much different.

You are trying to connect dots that aren't there.

No facts so far indicating that this is a recruiting issue

If you're making some tenuous argument that doing this with these guys benefits Auburn in unrelated recruiting efforts...I don't think that's very compelling
