No major violations against Auburn

Why am I not surprised?

 

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) -- The NCAA said it found no major violations committed by Auburn regarding Cam Newton or other pay-for-play allegations and has concluded multiple investigations of the football program.

 

The NCAA released a statement Wednesday saying it has closed its 13-month investigation into Auburn's recruitment of the Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback, whose father shopped his services to another school for up to $180,000.

See I told you guys sCam and Reverend Poppa Newton didn't know or do anything.

 

What have we learned today Auburn and the Newtons are innocent, OJ didn't do it, and Roger Goodell is the best dictator that the NFL has ever had.

That's too bad. I'm not even mad at the Newtons, they just came up by playing along with the game. Auburn, on the otherhand, just got away with one of the biggest recruiting scandals in recent memory. Everyone knows what really happened and their NC will always have an asterisk attached to it.

Let the conspiracy theories begin!

 

Although I think there was probably something to be found if they would have look good and hard.

I wonder how much paid the NCAA investigators?

Really interesting is almost every state doubts the investigation but over all the investigation is accepted by 18% thanks to a third of the votes coming from Alabama

Someone needs to investigate the NCAA

I was talking to a 'Bama fan buddy of mine and he made a good point. The NCAA may have come out with this ruling because the FBI is still investigating. If the NCAA came out with any findings, it may have interfered with the investigation. Seems very plausible to me.

I'm convinced Auburn is guilty as hell and deserves sanctions but I'll channel my buddy who's an Auburn grad and play Devil's Advocate. He claims that Auburn's safe because Cam never actually accepted benefits...all the dealings were with Cecil and Cam wasn't involved. Pretty sour anyway you want to look at it though and the FBI's still running that money-laundering inquiry so this is far from being done.

 

It really seems like somethings being swept under the rug. I've heard rumors that Tuberville (only had one bad season) was kicked to the curb because he wouldn't put up with shady stuff like this and then bam they get this coach who absolutely sucked at ISU and they suddenly turn around? Yea Malzahn is a great OC sure but its all kind of fishy.

 

Auburn fans have little brother syndrome bad and seeing Bama hit 13 without even having one of their own was probably the last straw. They've felt cheated out of NC's and I don't doubt they were willing to do anything to make a run.

Right on the money GBR. If this kinda crap keeps up expect the other 90% of schools to breakaway from the NCAA and their incompetence. If this would have happened at a B1G school, the school would have been slammed a year ago.

Boise St will get the death penalty.

+100 with everything you said. I can't stand Auburn for many reasons.
