"This was not just one lone coach."

I have been saying this too and I think it starts with the head coach.

Did they actually try to give lache anything or did they just come across as sleazy?

I think Chizik is clean. I think boosters are in control of that football program and they are doing all they can to keep up with little Nicky in T-Town.

Well, if they were just sleazy then I guess you would be able to comment on it...

im very intrested to see what comes of the NCAA in Thibodeaux. There has been some very big allegations, but nothing yet. There is to much smoke to not be some sort of a fire imo.

Reed was a whole different ball of wax than GR. GR did everything but call the fricking NCAA with his new iphone after his visit to Auburn. I know more than a few people in Thibodaux were pissed at the Auburn coaches including GR's own grandma. AU is linked to a handler in the area so it deserves to be at least looked at.




Yeah I knew when the crap about Nelson came out and listening to Lorio's comments that the NCAA pretty much had to look into what went down.

iPhoneGate begins.

you have to admit, as an AU fan, that the sean nelson angle is shady as hell.

The fact that Trooper and Nelson are being mentioned as associates makes my skin crawl.

I'm pretty much praying that nothing comes of this.

I would like to think Chizik is clean but no way Trooper is. If trooper was just giving phones away, I could see him keeping that from Chizik. However, if payments are actually being made to these frontmen steering athletes to the highest bidder, I can't see trooper and boosters getting that one by Chizik. I hope for Auburn's sake there is nothing to this.

I don't doubt AU boosters are running the show, Chiz getting out of football hell in Iowa came at a price, but the dude still knows whats up. We're talking about the guy behind Big Cat weekend and taking the recruits for a stroll around town in a 1993 limo

There is a reason TT can't recruit certain areas of Tx.

I think Chizik is technically clean, but still very much liable.

When you hire Trooper Taylor, you know you're going down a shady road

He may be able to claim he was clean once this house of cards comes tumbling down and he needs to save his career, but I think he's every bit as bad as trooper

Chizik is staking out a "plausible deniability" position. No head coach is THAT stupid...
However ,we are dealing with the NCAA here, so there will likely be no rhyme, reason or even fairness to the result of the investigation.
If recent history is a guide, nothing happens at all, whic would be tragic for everybody but AU, and AU loses in the long run.

Chizik is a puppet, he is not in control of this mess and knows it. All indications from the insiders in bama and even bama fans is that he is good guy and clean. He is just grateful to get a chance to coach as he was about to be fired at Iowa state and he knows not to bite the hand the feeds him.

He may very well be a puppet. If he claims not to know of any violations that the staff he hired might have committed, wouldn't that be a lack of institutional control?
