This stuff is just pure gold..a real life soap opeara. I just hope that UT is not connected in any way shape or form to this whole situation.

Fair to say this is not an SEC exclusive. If all were investigated I wonder how many schools would come up "dirty" in some shape or form.

In all seriousness, how bad would it be for the SEC if this was all true? I wouldn't think we collapse like the SWC, given how strong the conference has been.

If it leads to a restructuring of the conference, it might be the best thing to ever happen. The loss of Auburn doesn't kill this conference, but it could very well strengthen it.

If the SEC starts talking conference restructuring, though, you can bet every other conference will do the same.

If Auburn leaves the SEC, and we have to go shopping... it could lead to conference arms races and super conference discussions all over again.

New television contracts, new fan bases, new schedules, etc.

I think there could be a large upside, and I just don't see the down side to Auburn being kicked out. Of course, I am biased against Auburn, so I might be blinded by it.

A black eye on the conference? We already have one. We may be respected as a conference, but that doesn't mean we are well liked. All other conferences hate the SEC chant in bowl games. They can't possibly see how anyone could pull for an entire conference.

We have solidarity, for the most part. Loss of Auburn doesn't upset that solidarity.

Part of the reason for the SWC's demise was the fact that they were only based in Texas and Arkansas. Thus, nationally, they weren't as relevant as they could've been.

Plus, you had some pretty bad(comparatively) conference champions. Baylor went 7-5 in 1994, yet were the co-champions of the SWC, along with a 6-6 Texas Tech team, and a Texas team that went 8-4. TCU and Houston also claim a conference title for that year.

NCAA won't be busting all of the other SEC programs no matter what happens to Auburn. Auburn happened to have the wrong conversation on the wrong phone being tapped by the FBI. It's the rumored FBI info that makes this terribly bad for the barn.

The NCAA took 5 years to bust Reggie Bush, at that rate it would take 55 years for the NCAA to do anything.

How's this for killing the messenger?

Heard an interview with Mark Schlabach on 680 in ATL today. Nothing really groundbreaking until he "no commented" when asked if he needed police protection at the Auburn/Chattanooga game that he covered a couple of weeks ago. After they got done with the interview, Chuck Oliver explained that apparently he got so many threats when he showed up in Auburn that they had to call the cops to provide protection so he could leave. :wacko:

I'm sure that was right after the crowd expressed how cool they are by joining together to sing "lean on me" in honor of a criminal.
