@AUTigerDave I despise it. Saban's Sexton on a NCAA committee? Really now? Pat Dyer w/ Sexton. Sexton w/ Condon who had Upshaw protecting.
Well Obviously you (bamapiks) have figured out that the whole situation was brought on by ??? CAM NEWTON and Auburn...leaving many people (including myself) wondering if all SEC teams (Auburn, Miss state seems to be proven) PAY FOR PLAYERS??)
The an you sent me looking for was on finebaums show and in a nutshell
The NCAA thinks Newton was bought and paid for; it's all a matter of proving it now. Some amount of money went to Cecil Newton, while another amount went to Cecil's church. This money was handled by a "third party". The investigation has "revved up" since Chizik's outburst in Destin. The total amount is approximately $180-200K, with $20-30K having gone to the church. Sheridan has "no idea" if this is true.
?
Sheridan closes by saying the "they [the NCAA] think they know the third party, and they think they know the party that put up the money." That means the NCAA is looking at two entities here: someone who allegedly financed this alleged deal and someone who allegedly carried out this alleged deal. If the NCAA can remove the four "allegedly" instances out of that statement, Auburn's in deep trouble.

(as one writer notes)
"It is unfortunate and not right but the program and institute have to take responsibility for the actions that include them in the problem."
It becomes difficult after an athlete has left the school to really impose any punishments on them, no matter how badly a die hard fan would like to see it.
To regulate some sort of punishment, would have to include a verbal agreement or contract by the NCAA with all major sports associations which isn't a reasonable idea simply for the fact that professional sports has no interest or time for petty crimes such as that.

HMM ...GUESS THEY TAKE THIER FOOTBALL PRETTY FUCKING SERIOUS IN BAMA TOWN!!
2006
ESPN is reporting that “A man found dead Tuesday in a Memphis home is believed to be Logan Young, an Alabama booster convicted of bribing a high school football coach to get a top recruit for the Crimson Tide.”
Police are investigating the case as a homicide. They have not yet confirmed the body was Young, but the Memphis Commercial Appeal reported on its Web site Tuesday that that detectives were working at a house where Young’s body was found. “We’re treating it as a mystery homicide,” Sgt. Vince Higgins told The Associated Press. He said officials assume the victim was Young but needed to use fingerprints and dental records to confirm the identity. “Suffice it to say, there was quite a physical struggle in this and this individual was injured severely,” he said.
Nashville attorney Jim Neal, who defended Young, said he had been told the body was found by a housekeeper. “I’ve had two or three calls about it, all to the same end, found killed in his home. … I heard that there was blood everywhere. That is all I know,” Neal said. Higgins said Young’s housekeeper found the body after she arrived for work this morning. The body had not been removed from the house and no family members immediately arrived at the house.
The 65-year-old Young was convicted under federal law of money laundering and racketeering conspiracy in the case involving the peddling of defensive lineman Albert Means. Young was sentenced in June to six months in prison and six months of home confinement then two years of supervised release. But he had been allowed to remain free pending his appeal.

I DONT CARE (LIKE I SAID) IF PLAYERS WERE PAID COST OF LIVING, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE COMPLETELY OUT OF CONTROL WITH $$$$ ITS A BIG PISSING CONTEST RIGHT NOW (ESPECIALLY IN THE SEC!) AMONG THE BOOSTERS (BECAUSE THEY KNOW THE DEATH PENALTY CANT HAPPEN AGAIN) , BUT LIKE IVE BEEN SAYING THERE NO WAY TO TRACE MOST THIS STUFF WITHOUT A PAPER TRAIL! IT SEEMS LIKE THERE IS TOO MUCH TEMPTATION TO CHEAT IN NCAAF RIGHT NOW!!!????
IF ALL THESE TEAMS ARE GUILTY IN THE SEC?? THEN WHAT IS EMMERET GOING TO DO?? CLOSE DOWN HIS BIGGEST MONEY-MAKER?? NOT LIKELY

I graduated from Tulsa University, so the Midwest (Surrounded by football crazed OU, and OSU Fans!!) I am a football crazed also! I heard that Alabama might be cheating and did one search and someone accused them of cheating like July 20th and Alabama has a shady past (Also im 1000% sure Miss st. and Auburn had a bidding war for Cam Newton!!) Im tired of hearing about how one conference (THE SEC) is the greatest thing ever from ESPN Analysts!! In my mind there are POWER TEAMS in the power conferences like the SEC, but only 2 teams with a chance (Bama and LSU) Big 12 (OU and Texas) Pac 12 (Oregon and USC) the Big Ten (Nebraska, Wisconsin) and the ACC (Florida State and Clemson) ARE REALLY THE ONLY SCHOOLS THAT HAVE A CHANCE TO GET INTO THE BCS!! (change wisconsin for Ohio state and clemson for miami in non banned years!)
OKAY TOP TO BOTTOM THE SEC IS THE BEST! BUT CAN YOU REALLY KNOW THAT?? LAST I CHECKED KENTUCKY, OLE MISS, VANDY, MISS STATE SUCK MONKEY BALLS!
NOW FINDING OUT THAT THESE KIDS ARE "PAID FOR" AFTER HEARING 6 YEARS OF THIS SEC SUPREMECY STUFF JUST MAKES ME WANT TO BELLY LAUGH!! THE NCAA HAS MORE ON THEIR PLATE THAN THEY CAN HANDLE!
TU ISNT EVEN ON THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL MAP!!!

Im not a politician, i present the problem and i actually HAVE A SOLUTION!!
1) Pay the kids cost of living!
2) Each BCS School must employ 10 Compliance monitors mandatory at each school! 3 to watch the Boosters, 3 to watch coaches, 3 to watch the players, and one to watch the Watchers (compliance staff)!!!
3) If there is an incident that isnt self reported the; NCAA acts immediately on the case!

The NCAA enforcement program strives to maintain a level playing field for the more than 400,000 student-athletes. Commitment to fair play is a bedrock principle of the NCAA. The NCAA upholds that principle by enforcing membership-created rules that ensure equitable competition and protect the well-being of student-athletes at all member institutions.
The enforcement program is dedicated to creating positive student-athlete experiences by preserving the integrity of the enterprise. The mission of the NCAA enforcement program is to reduce violations of NCAA legislation and impose appropriate penalties if violations occur. The program is committed to the fairness of procedures and to the timely and equitable resolution of infractions cases.

The NCAA makes a purposeful distinction between determining student-athlete responsibility through an eligibility decision and university culpability through the infractions process. Institutions are accountable for rules violations through the infractions process. Student-athletes are responsible for rules violations through the eligibility process.
Reinstatement decisions are independent of the NCAA enforcement structure and typically are made once the facts of the student-athlete’s involvement are determined. Read more
The easiest way to think about the two processes is this: Enforcement involves violations involving an institution or its employees. The eligibility process is triggered when a student-athlete has culpability for a violation.
I dont see Aalbama on any recent cases!!!!

Ah yes, "suit-gate"
This was barely a blip in the media, if at all.
Tough to hate on Saban, he knows how to win....and cheat, better than everyone else.

This guy Cindrich hates Saban because he was hired by Emmert and thinks its a big conspiracy!!
How's this for an endorsement? Nick Saban once called new NCAA President Mark Emmert "absolutely the best boss I have ever had."
Of course, Emmert made Saban one of the nation's highest-paid coaches when he hired him from Michigan State to LSU in 1999. Emmert was LSU's chancellor at the time. And after a couple of Southeastern Conference championships and a 2003 national title, he sweetened the pot: a seven-year contract starting at $2.3 million annually, moving Saban to the top of the earnings chart.
