That is a silly quote about the "endless river" Jeff (not you bringing it up man - the concept). The institutions do not pay for recruits. Rich alumni might. And there are lots of "big public universities". tOSU is one of those. Does not make you guys part of a pay for play scheme because you are one. Does not make Florida par of a pay for play scheme because we are one too.

I am not so naive as to think that big boosters do not sometimes get involved in illegal transactions to attract recruits to their respective favored program. I am on record - numerous times - in saying that I think Auburn will be found liable in the Newton thing after the dust clears. But I have to say that it is foolish for something to talk about pay for play as if it were a slave sale on old St. Louis Street. There is no way that blatant cash for play - with bidding against each other - would stay hidden. The biggest deterrent to cheating in the SEC is the fact that our nut job fans will turn the other guy in in a heartbeat if there is proof that a rival cheated. And we do not believe in "mutual destruction" deterrence. We will drop a nickel on each other at the drop of a hat.

I didn't make the quote, I'm just reporting it.

Breaking News! SEC pays for players according to source. Did school administrations and coaches know? Are half of the national champions from the past decade null and void? We report (and totally do not plant ideas in your head through leading questions) you decide!

Some outside the SEC fanbase don't care if the SEC gets the death penalty now.

The SEC makes sure the income levels throughout the south are lower than national average - so that the SEC schools' bribes will have greater influence with the players. Connect. The. Dots. :tinfoil:

I haven't had time to read any of the posts in this thread or any of the news accounts. Nonetheless, I hope the NCAA takes a strong stand and makes an example of these guys.

Miami has been in trouble before - or at least I have heard reports that they have been in trouble.

Time to dust off the SMU penalty.

In an effort to substantiate the booster’s claims, Yahoo! Sports audited approximately 20,000 pages of financial and business records from his bankruptcy case, more than 5,000 pages of cell phone records, multiple interview summaries tied to his federal Ponzi case, and more than 1,000 photos. Nearly 100 interviews were also conducted with individuals living in six different states. In the process, documents, photos and 21 human sources – including nine former Miami players or recruits, and one former coach – corroborated multiple parts of Shapiro’s rule-breaking.

I'd like to take a second to applaud Yahoo! Sports for their 11 month investigation and work.

*Clap, clap, clap.*

You may proceed.

1 Florida coach, 2 Bama coaches, 1 Tennessee player, 1 Georgia player and 2 Florida players are tangled up in the Miami mess.

The coaches from the Shannon era and have moved on to new schools. High profile recruits who spurned TheU and ended up in the SEC.

Titties and beer for everyone!


Also: known criminal, axe to grind, agenda, not credible, etc., etc., etc.
