It's gonna be rough if you're an Auburn fan

This saddens me as I was looking forward to beating Auburn on the field

I watched Bama suffer for almost 10 years for the same stuff, except that it was Fat Phil informing against a Memphis, TN high school coach who attempted to peddle his player to Bama, not a father and his son. But, same situation. And it almost ended the Bama program (NCAA was considering a "Kill" recommendation). This DOES go on, the NCAA and SEC turn a blind eye to it until some coach makes a fuss about it (As stated, usually to try and obtain an advantage on the field). If they investigate this to the extent that it truly goes on, I think it would probably taint the NCAA so bad, the congress would shut the NCAA down. Therefore, don't expect any far reaching investigations (outside of the current flap). The NCAA likes it's paychecks too well for that!!

Well, the reason you won't get to play them is because they aren't getting past Bama next week. If for some reason they do, you'll get to see Newton. Auburn isn't going to sit him, they've already made that determination, and the NCAA won't rule on anything for a while.

I guess Auburn's content with getting all of their wins vacated by letting Newton play. IMO, the coach and AD should be fired.

Thanks for the fix. Got caught up in other fixes, and forgot that one!
