Fluker Receives Cash?

[AUChizad]

It isn't about him signing with an agent.  He didn't even end up signing with anybody associated with it, which is probably why this shit is surfacing.  He apparently took money from a former Alabama player who was a runner for multiple agents, who was receiving money from those agents to try to entice new clients to come their way.

...which is worse.

Look on the bright side, Token & RWS. You get to break the Got 12? shirts out again.

I'm curious as to how long before we start seeing a decline in bama car decals and apparel in the B'Ham area.

We can only hope that trend goes nation wide.

ESPN is maddening.  Needs to be nuked off the airwaves.

A full 24 after the Yahoo! story broke?  Hosannas to Bryant, discussions of the Manziel distraction and more raping of OSU dominate the college football front page.  One small line about "five SEC players"

The ONLY two outlets in the entire country that spewed over Bryant yesterday at the expense of 9/11 and the breaking Yahoo! story?  al.com and ESPN.

Conspiracy?  These hats are not tinfoil, sir.

NBC Sports (they do sports?) had an interview with Julie Roe Lach of Chiznik fame:

Do the link.

"It wouldn't surprise me if they were deploying investigators now..."

Pretty encouraging and enlightening info.

Wetzel just said on WJOX that they aren't going to give the NCAA any of this information, and even if they did, the NCAA would need Fluker to admit to the allegations before they could go after the Alabama program.

Now let me get this straight, a dude in the 90s signs a napkin and NCAA sanctions occur.  Here we have hard evidence of agents and boosters getting money to college football players, and nothing can be done? 

This is looney.

That's absurd.  Why bother gathering it if they're just going to do nothing with it?  What was the point?

Where's Chopper and his DJ connection when you need him.  He needs to go all KickAss 2 on this.

Wetzel and Robinson are very critical of the NCAA.  They're writing these stories to prove that the NCAA can't enforce their own rules.  That the agent situation is out of control. 

At least, that's what the Bama media is trying to tell me.  Honestly, they could be right.  Why not give the NCAA all of this information if you want them to clean up the sport?  What's the end game here?

I mean, we've just got do do away with speed limits. EVERYBODY speeds. Absolutely nothing can be done about it to deter people from speeding, like, you know, punishing those who are caught. Time to look at the law and readjust it.

Or as theauburner put it:

Little girl says I cheat at Candlyand. I explain how I'm exposing the folly of the rules. Focus on that. Stop dwelling over my win streak. Do you have any idea how much money Milton Bradley rakes in on the backs of small children? Ridiculous. Let's talk about that, too.

Jesus Fluker?  Learn something every day.

I'm drunk and not embarrassed to ask:  FKG?

Football Karma Gods - first cousin to the BKG, or Baseball Karma Gods, who hate me.

I ain't taking no chances.

= took money from a booster. This shit is not going to sink.

After the Miami debacle, the NCAA will take their time and make sure everything is done right. This will take a long time, but it will happen. Death penalty ? Almost certainly not. Putting a return FedEx label on those two boxes ? Probably. But not for a few years. Saban departing ? 50/50.

And to echo many on this thread, fuck these guys that say everyone does it and the school should not be held accountable. - And, unfortunately this refrain will grow.

If they want to change the rules because of this and make all this permissable, fine with me. Bottom line though, bummer broke the rules while they were in effect and they have to pay the price, even if they get the frequent customer discount.

ESPN continues to suck goat ass.  Two no name hacks sat in for SVP and Russillo today.  Their take:
"You couldn't have more clear evidence of Cam's cheating in 2010, but nothing was done.  If you're going to let  Auburn get away with it and win a NC, then you have to let bama slide."

You see, I just don't understand why someone can fake a slip and fall on my property, sue me and likely get a 5k prize for participating and then there is no liklihood of suing this irresponsible bastard for making a statement like this. He is tarnishing Cam and AU with statements like this. And I suppose this was an ESPN "professional" journalist?
It propogates the idea that AU and/or Cam cheated. I think Cam should sue their ass. And if not, send somebody to kick his ass.
