It wouldn't only effect the athletic program but the entire institution. It should make all the alumni absolutely embarrassed.

What does that mean? Forfeiting all the games? Major scholarship reductions for several years? No post-season?

If all is true then the sanctions will probably just fall short of the death penalty. So in other words all the above and more. IMO IMO

Supposedly, the FBI has the wiretaps. If that's true, then it's over for them. It sounds like the corruption goes up very high.

story on that from another board...

An attorney for indicted casino owner Milton McGregor says he will plead innocent at his arraignment Friday.

McGregor and 10 others are scheduled for arraignment Friday morning in federal court in Montgomery on charges accusing them of buying and selling votes on pro-gambling legislation.

The bigger picture here is that the Feds have been investigating Milton McGregor (A major Auburn Booster and the owner of VictoryLand, which is located just outside of Montgomery) for quite some time. The Feds are investigating efforts to pass gambling legislation in Alabama and money laundering schemes involving McGregor and other prominent Alabama politicians and Auburn boosters.

The Feds have tape from wire taps made on McGregor and other prominent Auburn boosters from their investigation. The Newton's were just shopping their talent's to the wrong people at the wrong time and thus there is hard evidence available that incriminates everyone involved. It's only a matter of time that all of this information becomes public.

FBI found out about Cam before the NCAA did while wiretapping Milton McGregor and others related to the casino/bingo indictments. They uncovered conversations with McGregor, Auburn and Cam's uncle in Michigan. McGregor paid $250K to the uncle through a PAC and other hidden entities and the uncle funneled the money to Cecil.

The FBI gave this information to the NCAA sometime after the indictments were handed down. They had to sit on the information for 6 months until the grand jury indicted the men and women in the gambling deal. All of the wiretap information was sealed and that is why the delay in investigating. The NCAA had to go to Miss St to see if Cecil had solicited money from them as well. That is why Miss St is involved. They are basically connecting all of the dots. Miss St may be cleared because they told Cecil no. He then went to Auburn. The offer was on the table from McGregor but Cam wanted to play at Miss St and not Auburn. When Miss St declined to pay him, he went to where the money was... hence the comment, "The money was too much." The FBI met with the Miss St coaches, John Bond and Bill Bell today to get their official statements"

And with all thats came out on this story I can't see them finding none of it to be true. Atleast half if not all of it has to be true...JMO

I don't know what to believe, but how can ALL this be just a fabrication?

Aubarn fans will tell you that it's all a fabrication none of it's true. And that the only reason all of this came to be is because they are on top right now.

If I was Gene Chizik I would take my talents to South Beach and get the heck out of town. I have never seen something fall apart so fast.
