No. You weren't paying them to leave. You were paying your two best players to use certain representation when they did leave. They're all temporary. Every one of them. They all leave. The best ones leave sooner, and as you said, these were your two best ones.
I know Auburn fans are doing their best to spin this as something that doesn't help Auburn, but the reality is that top recruits would clearly be able to see that if they go to Auburn, the coaching staff could hook them and their families up with cash down the road if they are pro prospects.

Here is your attention.
You constantly make vague, stupid posts while other people are actually discussing the facts at issue. I assume you do this because you're incapable of engaging in substantive discussion, but still want us to know you're here.
Might I suggest facebook?

So you think Person was advertising this?
That is your argument.

I agree that the "paying them to leave" thing is a spin
It's premised on the idea that the "paying" aspect is very different from "paying" in most NCAA/cheating contexts. But it's more accurate to just identify that so far, payments were not funded by AU people for the benefit of AU, but rather by a third party for the benefit of the third party.

Because recruits and their families were getting financial benefit as a direct result of a relationship with an Auburn coach and as a direct result of a commitment to play basketball for Auburn
It doesn't matter that the Auburn coach got the money from Adidas or the tooth fairy, it was the Auburn coach giving the money to the recruits and families.

Have you been paying attention at all? This thing is nationwide. You think he actually has to "advertise"? You think the word doesn't get around?

HE WAS NOT GIVING MONEY TO RECRUITS.
You people really need to read up on what this is about before you start talking about something you obviously know nothing about.

Your connection between the commitment and the benefit is really tenuous and likely won't factor in to action by the NCAA without more.

It won't effect eligibility, but of course it matters.

quote:People keep saying this because Person was quoted as telling the mom of one of the players he wanted him to leave for the NBA after the season.
No. You weren't paying them to leave.
quote:A money manager was paying our assistant coach to steer players to him and the assistant funneled some of that money to players families.
You were paying your two best players to use certain representation when they did leave.
quote:There is a chance Person used this as a recruiting ploy, but given the small amount of money that he funneled to the parents, I doubt that is the way this played out. The indictment really makes it seem like Person was simply being an opportunistic a-hole to line his own pockets.
the reality is that top recruits would clearly be able to see that if they go to Auburn, the coaching staff could hook them and their families up with cash down the road if they are pro prospects.

Are you saying that the two players who took cash are not in danger of losing their eligibility?

It is really easy to tell the people who haven't read the allegations and are just jumping to assumptions based on seeing some headlines.

The FBI documents say very clearly that Adidas gave the money to the Auburn coach in the Auburn coach gave the money to the recruit and family
