Let’s just hope the FBI is given all the resources it needs to put an end to these horrific crimes.

Bribery and tax evasion are pretty key to the FBI.

I know that Auburn has their own FBI troubles still ongoing, apparently, but I didn't see them listed anywhere in this report. You know what? I fully expect them to skate. Nothing will be found. They've been down this road before and they came up clean then. Why not now?

Auburn, a tip of the cap to you. Y'all motherfrickers absolutely cheat the right way. You were smart enough to get in bed with people in the casino industry, and if anyone knows how to hide illicit financial transactions so that they can never, ever be found, it is they. We should all take a lesson from you. It may be an amateur sport, but your cheating is professional-level.

I don't even mean this as a troll. It's damn impressive.

We had a coach trying to get our best players to leave early, that's the worst cheating I've ever seen.

You had four players go on HBO and admit they were paid. Literally nothing happened. THAT was impressive

They have no business investigating tax evasion, wire fraud, racketeering, that sort of thing? Not to mention all of the federal money tied up in these universities. If you think this is just about a couple basketball players I would say that's shortsighted.

That is rich. Bama accusing Auburn of cheating. When the mother of all covers, Mark Emmert himself, is in Saban's hip pocket.

I keep seeing this posted. But for Persons scheme to work in the first place, he had to actually get those players to Auburn before he could get the $$ from the agent/adviser, right? Did he use the $$ scheme to lure them to AU?

I have answered this for you before, why are you being obtuse?

It wasn't person's scheme. He was approached by someone acting as an FBI informant. They have the conversations recorded and listed a timeline in a publicly available court document. You don't have to create imaginary scenarios here. The scheme is fully documented.
