Let's hope that Auburn gave Diamond so much cash that they don't have any left over for Diggs.

I would normally have posed this question in the rumor mill since we are in the recruiting forum and such talk is prohibited here but................taking a cue from the mods it must be very well known that Diamond is on the take. So that being the case here's my question..

I'm sure the OSU staff got bad vibe$ from Diamond. I'm sure the other midwestern teams such as Michigan got bad vibe$ from Diamond. I'm also sure that Arkansas who had Diamond for an official also got bad vibe$ from Diamond. Now, Arkansas is in the SEC and they may (although you never know what the erratic and moody Petrino will do) abide by the code of silence on this matter, however I highly doubt any of the Big Ten team coaches feel such loyalty. Having said all of this, I'm sure Auburn feels very confident they can keep everything concealed since they are Pros at such things since they have their secret under the table society in place. Look at remarkable job they did hiding the Cam Newton situation.

In a nutshell it seems to me that Auburn is arrogantly playing with fire with Diamond'$ recruitment because they feel bullet proof at the present time. However, I have a feeling Diamond$ recruitment could really be the iceburg that sinks there ship going forward since there is so much public knowledge about Diamonds request$....I personally don't think we've heard the last of this.....

What do you guys think?

It's also very possible that OSU is the only school that Diamond attempted to solicit money from. I would assum the coaching staff was firm with him about such matters and it could have possible stopped on trips to subesequent schools.

Just trying to give a different possible scenario that wouldn't implicate Auburn in any wrongdoing.

When they are honest, Auburn fans will admit that their players are getting $$. However, they will tell you that they need to do it to try to keep up with Alabama. Alabama has the best network in place to handle this ($$ to families/recruits). If you go back and look at the things Alabama reports, it involves non-boosters and, therefore, the incidents are only minor violations. Julio Jones and Mark Ingram got caught taking fishing trips with a non-booster, the recruits get taken to Alabama games by non-boosters, jobs are given to family members of recruits and number of other perks (e.g., prime fully furnished tail gating locations, etc.). I have been told a number of stories by people with first hand information. Auburn may be bad, but they are amateurs next to Alabama.
