The day the first story broke I had someone on Facebook post something Harvey Updyke. Yesterday someone else compared the Rutgers basketball coach to Bryant and today he said how ESPN is pro-Bama and pro-Saban.

If thy get stripped of 2010, they can't claim both anymore. To claim 2004 because USC was stripped means they can't claim 2010 because they "won it on the field".
ESPN has tapes and other documents to back up what is running on E60 and in ESPN The Magazine. This came from someone very familiar with ESPN and what it takes to get a story out there. The editor's/legal higher ups will not allow this type of story without hard proof, checked and re-checked.
I hadn't thought about it like that before, but you're probably right. The former players might have figured out that you have to sing a little to get hush money.
As predicted. The tree story.

My tree obsessed Facebook friend posted a picture of the shirt they are selling for their A-Day.
Maybe the SEC should show Albarn (AKA auburn) the Barn Door where they can EXIT the SEC and possibly join the Sun Belt or the CUSA!
The SEC doesn't need a the dirty laundry that they seem to have in West Georgia. We could always add FSU or Georgia Tech or UVA or VT, etc. to replace them.
I think our game vs the Barn has gotten to a point that is UNHEALTHY for the great state of Alabama. LSU or A & M can replace them as our chief rival in the West. Now that the Phat man is gone I can tolerate somewhat the rivalry with the school with that horrendous school color to the North!
Mr. Slive, step up to the plate and dismiss this school from the SEC!
I have known how things worked there for many years but seeing it in print, for the world to see, is still shocking. Wow, just wow!
so now they just add Matt Hayes to the ever growing list of journalist hacks out to destroy the family?
After what auburn folks behind "Oeration Red Dog" did or tried to do to some of our players from the Gadsden area a few years back..I have absolutely no sympathy at all..For anything doing with auburn..As a matter of fact..I hope the get hit so hard by the NCAA..That Jacksonvillie St makes them their homecoming patsy for the next 20yrs..I hate 'em..It wouldn't hurt my feeling in the least should they have their football program shut down..
Great article. Unfortunately I just happened to have read the article on Miami's response to (attack on) the NCAA and posts about Emmert's presser on the other thread. The NCAA's dead in the water with or without Emmert. Miami and Penn State have them totally emasculated now. I'm not sure now Emmert has the you know whats to take on the boogs even if handed a 'Freeh' report on aubrens just like he got at Penn State (hey Emmert. You knock reporters about getting the dirt on programs before your own guys do yet you took down Penn State without having to lift your little finger to get the goods on them thanks to Louis Freeh. It all seemed so nice and tidy to you. Penn State: finally your big 'win'. How's that working out for you now?). The Sporting News article nails it re: the boogs. Unfortunately as obvious as their cheating is to everybody now I fear they'll skate again because I just don't see how Emmert can take on anyone now even if the dirt on the boogs is confirmed and wrapped up in a neat little package and handed to him. What we are witnessing my friends is our hated NCAA's final fall into total irrelevance. Now what are we left with other than the boogs lucking out by the skin of their teeth once again and just in time? I hate being so pessimistic but what is there now to make us think otherwise? It is now generally known and accepted by other than just us Bama fans the cheating and culture of corruption that exists and has existed at aubrens (and was so well described by the Sporting News article). Yet the NCAA has been diminished to the point that they don't have the credibility to take on anybody for any serious thing except TEXTBOOKS at Bama. The inmates now officially run the asylum. Emmert, who was supposed to be the NCAA's saviour, has dragged it into total oblivion.

I had thought that the NCAA, even compromised as it is now, would hang around, simply because there wasn't a real alternative. It's become more and more obvious that the interests of the big budget schools and the majority small budget schools just diverge too greatly. One man (president) one vote just won't work here. I'd believed that I'd never see the dissolution of the NCAA in my lifetime. Now, assuming I survive the next several years, I think I may see it. I think the juxtaposition of our textbook case and the purchase of Cam Newton's services demonstrates how dysfunctional the NCAA has become. Cooperate and get hammered. Lawyer-up and skate. Had the NCAA hired a David Stern, then the collapse could have been delayed a few years. Hiring Emmert, a political hack, has hastened the implosion. Pretty soon, it's not just going to be Auburn and Ole Miss thumbing their noses at the NCAA, There are several other schools in the SEC alone who will go back to buying players wholesale when they realize that there really is no enforcement function which is viable...
For the good of the Game?for the good of the conference?
This has been the reasoning for not punishing API. No one really cared because the only school impacted by their cheating was Alabama. However in 2010 it affected everyone.
I blame ESPN as well for their assistance in the Cam Cover Up. Everyone knows API pays players, it has been proven time & time again.
Just like with all the issues that come up, the first deny, then attack the accuser for having an agenda against API, the go after players who spoke out then blackmail them and finally they lawyer up & threaten EVERYONE who speaks out.
admitt it This has worked in the past why change?
I would be very happy to see API get what they deserve but I don't think it's gonna happen, again. The stories are dying down already & you can bet the house they will dig up something on that reporter to discredit her, it's just the way they operate, always have always will..
