I don't know who Danny Sheridan is, but I listened as well and he sounded very credible to me and came across sincere and that he indeed knew people in high places.
And, like those who know people in high places, he chose his words very carefully as to not "overstep" his source.... which also IMO made him sound even more credible to me as opposed to someone just blabbering about anything and everything. He was very political (and professional) in his comments IMO.

Take the AE stupidity somewhere else. A guy who gets cut FROM THE PRACTICE SQUAD after one season is NOT truly a former Jacksonville Jaguar, and didn't have $50,000 to give anybody.

I know this is going to sound nuts, but I would take Schad over Sheridan if I was an AU fan. Sheridan has gambling contacts. Those are the frickers that actually know stuff.

good point. I didnt get to here the entire show. What little bit i heard seemed like he was trying to step back from what he said earlier. Not giving up a source was probably exactly what he was doing.

Have you listened to him all day? He's all over the place with this stuff
The following is all according to Sheridan.
The NCAA thinks Newton was bought and paid for; it's all a matter of proving it now. Some amount of money went to Cecil Newton, while another amount went to Cecil's church. This money was handled by a "third party". The investigation has "revved up" since Chizik's outburst in Destin. The total amount is approximately $180-200K, with $20-30K having gone to the church. Sheridan has "no idea" if this is true.
This is a direct quote: "They're trying to get a third person, allegedly the bag man, to step forward, and if he steps forward, it'll be a bad situation. But I don't know that he will step forward. I don't know if they have any evidence. I don't want you to misquote me." This "third party/bag man" would be someone doing the work so the someone else's fingerprints are not on the transaction. This third party is not a "rogue alumni".
Sheridan's sources at the NCAA are "25 years old" (as in, he's had a sources there that long; it's not a twentysomething feeding him info) and have never mislead him. There are also 15 other schools being looked at, but he will not name them. They feel money changed hands in the Newton case, but if it can't be proven, the case "will be dropped in probably three-to-six months." Sheridan is not aware of any ongoing investigation of Mississippi State.
Confusingly, Sheridan later says that "Auburn had nothing to do with this" and that this third party "I won't say was working for a rogue alumni." I don't get what he's hinting at here. If the third party didn't do this with the school's knowledge and wasn't working for a rogue alumni, who is he and why did he get involved? Is he some sort of non-alumni booster? Two questions later, he says "if they are guilty of paying a student, not they but the alumni..." Huh?
Sheridan closes by saying the "they [the NCAA] think they know the third party, and they think they know the party that put up the money." That means the NCAA is looking at two entities here: someone who allegedly financed this alleged deal and someone who allegedly carried out this alleged deal. If the NCAA can remove the four "allegedly" instances out of that statement, Auburn's in deep troubl

Oh, please CFBFAN1121. We all know he threw those inconsistencies in there to protect his source.

How does a bookie have inside connections with the NCAA?

I guess I can see where you're coming from to an extent, there are certainly more things we'd like to have the answers to, but IMO I don't really see a whole lot of inconsistencies in regards to Sheridan's statements:
NCAA has a theory about the money, they have or are looking for a bagman to come forward which would make the case a slam dunk, and the investigation is certainly ongoing.

"We think a wealthy booster gave the Newtons money."
What other hypothesis would there be?
Other than bingo halls, the FBI, and bank fraud.
Sheridan didn't break out anything new. He simply added, "I have good sources, but I'm not going to tell you who they are or how I know."
And there were plenty of inconsistencies in his story. He went from definite statements to clumsy accusations.

Sports bookies have contacts everywhere. Vegas finds out about sports related stuff long before the media ever gets wind of it. Otherwise they would be out of business.

Is it possible that Danny Sheridan = BlueTuna???

GTFO.. Danny changed his story 10 minutes ago on Finebaum.. He stated point blank that they do not have a bagman or know who the bagman is..
I'm assuming this is why Finebaum has posted every segment of the interview online except for the last hour.
This dude was also paid to be on the show today.
