How do you defend Auburn after reading this...

[mrpd21]

I feel like the NCAA is way over their head with all the inconsistencies on rulings and how they favor/punish, etc.

When you involve public institutions and taxpayer dollars there needs to be a separate institution funded by ncaa profits do handle violations. Such a joke!

Man I gotta say the guy who writes these story's in just ALL over the SEC

Well if you're suggesting he is biased, not sure if you are or are not, I just think he is more of a follower of smoke. He sensationalizes a lot and annoys many. Brooks was also all over Oregon and Will Lyles when that was breaking. I am more looking at the information he is providing here.

Dude takes snippets of circumstantial evidence, frames it all like a pretty picture, and then presents it all as “well known” facts and truth and does so in a convincing manner. The man should have been a trial attorney.

Every article I’ve read of his (SEC or non SEC topic) just sounds like a conspiracy theorist rambling on how GW set off bombs to collapse the Twin Towers.

but don't you remember that hbo special where those ex auburn players even admitted to taking cash and other benefits? How did that show NOT influence a comprehensive investigation of that program?!

Because it was on a “HBO” special and they didn’t report the violations to the NCAA.

Should there be a comprehensive investigation opened because Sports by Brooks did a article on y’all?

Besides…don’t you think that they were looking at the program in entirety as they were looking into Cam?

I don't get the article. Is it not possible that his parents simply bought the kid a Camaro and he also wanted to go to Auburn?

SbB is hot garbage.

^^This

Guy takes a spray and pray approach to reporting…throwing things out there and hoping you make the big leap to the conclusion he is trying to prove. You can get a base line Camaro for around $22,000, that is $3,000 less than I paid for my Nissan Frontier. COMPLETELY affordable for a middle class family looking to buy their son his first car.

But he is praying that YOU as the reader makes the assumption that the only way the kid could of gotten it is if someone outside the family purchased it for him AND that since he changed his mind about signing at his original choice (something high profile recruits do EVERY YEAR) then it must be a FACT that AU purchased it for him as a incentive to play for him….though there is no REAL fact to show that.

SbB is hot garbage.

^^and this.

I thought the same thing about the car price. My girlfriend and I together were both able to purchase a more expensive car than the Camaro and we are "middle class" so to speak. But, it's a black family in the south so they couldn't possibly be financially responsible and have good jobs, right? Just throwing this out there so the PC police don't jump my balls but I'm being completely sarcastic with that comment.

[mrpd21]

OK I'll wave the white flag...

I didn't mean to believe Brooks so much as look at context with that, the HBO report and confession from ex players, cam, etc...
My point wasn't expressed well.

I think I must have been channeling my inner Canzano, Yikes! I repent all...

Do I believe there is a grain of truth to it, yes.

But your question is how do I defend Auburn from this article. It's SBB. If you believe anything from that website, you are a moron. You would get better info from the Inquirer or the Sun than him.
