Auburn Paid Players

[Cash]

Auburn also had a 2013 recruit, Jovon Robinson, who was bought a car by a booster and what happened? Nothing... The NCAA I believe ruled the kid ineligible and that was it. The SEC is playing with a payroll & they wonder why the SEC is dominating college football.

The NCAA is being watched very very carefully right now. There is a perception out there that they are not only incompetent, but biased.

Sweeping this third Auburn case under the rug would be so egregious at this point, I doubt even those crooked ***gotz would attempt it.

 

[cane305]

the whole country jumped to conclusion against us after the bs from Yoo hoo.

It's fun when the shoe's on the other foot, but i won't just jump to trash AU yet.

by the way, I hate Yoo hoo more than the NCAA and so should you.

Auburn pays players. Past ,present and future. Nothing's gonna change that.

 

[bomb]

Someone writes a story on Miami about things that happened years ago...it is plastered all over the news espn everywhere

SEC does something wrong the story is next to the coupon section of the paper utter ridiculousness

It's the lead story on ESPN all day and they are crucifying auburn and even taking shots at Muschamp. They have been giving the writer air time.

The NCAA ruled Robinson ineligible because his guidance counselor had one of his grade's changed in high school, not because of the car. Regarding the car, Robinson received a settlement because Memphis police shot and killed his father, and then planted evidence to make it seem like he came at them in a threatening manner. The settlement was for almost 3 million, and they settled for over a million which had to be divided between the father's children. So basically, AU may have bought the car, but the settlement money was a perfect cover. Either way, what you're saying in your post regarding the NCAA's lack of punishment is flat out wrong.

Auburn is guilty to some degree, but Bama is cheating on an epic level(Hoover, Gadsen,Mobile, Mens Twear, Hot wheelz, fishing trips, etc.)

LOL @ that article. That woman is FOS and some of the quoted players have already come out and refuted the story. Now before you guys go bashing me and saying that I'm being all Baghdad Bob for my alma mater, let me say that I am in no way saying that AU doesn't cheat. As I've stated many times before, I believe that everyone cheats. With that said, as sophisticated as cheating has become nowadays, there's no way in **** Will Freakin Muschamp called a player into his office after a bad practice and gave him $400 cash. I mean, we've heard rumors of paying kids through church donations, paying kids by rigging slot machines, boosters hooking family members up with jobs, boosters having their own slush funds to pay players, etc and you want me to believe that the defensive coordinator gave a kid some cash after having a difficult day at practice? That's the type of elementary **** that got AU put on probation in the early 90's. Trust when I say the cheating efforts are much better than that. LOL

actually calling someone in the office and handing them cash is a great way to cheat. 1st there are no middle men and eliminates people who can talk. basically the coach or player would have to snitch. 2nd its hard to trace cash payments, especially under $500. no wire transfers, no elaborate schemes than can fail, and the player can't go buy a lot of brand new **** for $400. couple pairs of shoes, maybe a few shirts, nothing that raises eyebrows. even now it comes down to muchamp's word vs. mike's word, unless they can prove the cash (very hard to due) muschamp/auburn skates.

If this former player's story is not corroborated by a convicted ponzi schemer in return for money and a leniency request on his behalf, then I'm not listening

If you accept $3000 to not go to the NFL, you need someone to alter your grades.

 

[donutface]

Roberts messed up not getting her sources to say these things twice. If she had they could not go back and refute it now because everyone knows if you say it twice it must be true.

Not if you're a coach it's not. It's much more simple and smarter to let the boosters (who more often than not care about the program more than the coach does) handle the $100 handshakes. Too much for the coach to lose imo. Plus, when we're talking about AU, we're talking about a school where a coach has been set up like that before. I'd be shocked if they were handling things like that.

why go thru a booster, u dont kno how careful they are, or who they are telling. **** look at the miami situation. Booster got caught up and his only escape was to try and throw the heat at miami. its much smarter imo to keep it as simple as possible. less possible spots for a leak. unless you're talkin about $1,000 or cars or houses or somethen like that then its much better to go thru a coach. especially a coordinator or a positon coach who kids most likely would trust more. also i doubt there are many boosters that care more than the coaches. winning is how coaches make their money/move up in the ranks.

Someone one Twitter blast Thamel this:

Higher responsibility? Like taking the word of a convicted ponzi schemer?

You go through a booster to keep yourself out of harm's way just in case anything goes down. With regards to Nevin Shapiro, he's not a normal "booster." He was a wannabe. Heck, he wasn't throwing the heat at Miami because that was his only escape; he was throwing the heat at miami because he was butthurt. Name the boosters at the major SEC schools that have went the Nevin Shapiro route? You won't find many because when you start digging, you'll find that most have a true connection to the school, and weren't just fans of the school as a child.

Your comment about coaches moving up in the ranks makes my point regarding boosters caring more. If given the right opportunity, a coach will leave a school high and dry in a heartbeat. For the booster, there's no "moving up in the ranks." The only thing they care about is their school being a winner. They aren't looking at a bigger payday someplace else, or possibly trying to see if they can win at the next level. All they care about is their school. That's what I mean when I say they care about the program more than the coach does. I guess we can agree to disagree about that.

McNeil told Roberts he had a meeting with then-defensive coordinator Will Muschamp, now Florida's coach, in 2007.

"I had no clue what it was about because I'd never directly asked him for anything," McNeil told Roberts. "He slid about $400 over to me. He went into a drawer and gave me money and said, 'Is this enough? Is this good?' And I said, 'Yeah, I'm good.'"

l.
well well well. this should get interesting. Muschump is a dead man walking

lols at you believing anything is going to happen to Muschamp. We are talking about a $400 cash transaction that happen years ago. On one side you have a college coach who has never been in trouble on the other side you have somebody on trial for robbery. The story itself doesn't even make sense.

i don't agree that muschump is innocent, but i dont anything happens to him. even if we act like the NCAA will do the right thing and investigate (which is no gurantee they will) but its really hard to prove cash transactions, especially under $500.00. unless the kid went strate to the bank and deposited the full $400.00 i dont see how they would be able to trace it even if they tried to look into it
