The case involved academic fraud affecting more than 60 student-athletes across 10 sports, as well as impermissible benefits, unethical conduct by three former academic support services staff members, and a failure to monitor by the university.

The sports programs involved in these violations include football, baseball, men's track and field, women's track and field, men's swimming, women's swimming, men's basketball, women's basketball, softball and men's golf.

• Public reprimand and censure.

• Four years of probation (March 6, 2009, to March 5, 2013).

• Scholarship reductions in football; men's and women's basketball; men's and women's swimming; men's and women's track and field; baseball; softball; and men's golf. Additional details are available in the public report.

• Vacation of all wins in which the 61 student-athletes in the sports of football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's swimming, men's and women's track, men's golf, baseball and softball competed while ineligible during 2006 and 2007. This includes regular season contests, postseason contests and any NCAA championship competition. The individual records of the student-athletes shall be vacated as well. Further, the institution's records regarding all of the involved sports, as well as the records of the head coaches of those sports will reflect the vacated records and will be recorded in all publications in which these records are reported, including, but not limited to, institution media guides, recruiting material, electronic and digital media plus institution and NCAA archives. Any public reference to tournament performances won during this time shall be removed, including, but not limited to, athletics department stationery and banners displayed in public areas such as the venues in which the specified teams compete.

Poor Coach Bowden...I'll bet they're celebrating at State College, right about now.

So....if the NCAA deems uat as "Failure to Moniter" (Major Violation) and "Repeat Offender", after the Albert Mean's Probation that was a "Repeat Offender"...wouldn't that be similar to have 3 DUIs on your record in a 5 year period? Would the probation be similar to the one that FSU just got handed to them?

Also, uat hired the former AD at FSU, while some, if not all of this was going on, to be the understudy of Mal Moore. And, I'm guessing to replace him, probably sometime soon. I'll tell you what, it sure has been a really good two days to be an Auburn Fan....and a really shitty two days if you're a bammer.

You are comparing apples to oranges. FSU had a ton of kids cheating in academics to stay eligible to play, plus the coaches knew about it. We had a handful of student athletes getting books for their girlfriends and the coaches didn't know. The cheating was widespread amongst FSU athletics. I highly doubt we get anything close to the bitch slapping FSU just got.

Here is a little something to support my theory:

The committee stated this case was "extremely serious" because of the large number of student-athletes involved and the fact that academic fraud is considered by the committee to be among the most egregious of NCAA rules violations.

If that is the case, then some guys getting textbooks for their girlfriends, hopefully, will be a drop in the bucket. But who the fuck knows with the NCAA, USC is going to get away smelling like a rose in the Reggie Bush deal. That doesn't seem to be that much of a priority for them.

Fuck you, F$U! They've always been a bunch of fuckin' cheaters.

You think Forston is still excited about being there?

What about Aubrey Phillips? You think that suit is being returned to the store with all receipts burned?

Hey, RWS! I've got a nice portion of beach property in Kansas I'd like to sell. Got a great deal on it if you buy now.

TIFWIW........
I'm hearing that there's something else, that's about to come up, in regards to uat.....I'm hearing possibly something BIG and that the Textbook 5 is just the Tip of the iceburg. Brandon Gibson's name will possibly be brought up.

If you're hearing it, I feel a lot better about the situation then. In the past, your sources have sucked. Big time.

Really?? Give me an example of when my sources were wrong. And, I'm not saying that what I'm hearing is going to happen, or I believe it....or is actually right, I'm just saying that, that's what I'm hearing.....hence, TIFWIW statement.

I once offered an aunation member a freebee after he made a monetary wager on the open forum because of his inside source(you). It was regarding Dre Kirkpatrick.

I trust the prowler over youre phony connections anyday.

and if you do somehow steal dre and tana away from us it will just be because you got there mommas jobs as the infamous gadsen lawfirm again...how many more secretaries can that office hold bammer? what are you gonna do when the ncaa dcomes knockin? dre and kk and tana know this..theyre comin to auburn...theyre just leadin lil nicky on.

That was his response. Copied and pasted.

I didn't say that YOU were wrong. You use the "that's what I'm hearing" tactic to throw BS on the wall hoping that it will stick. If it does, you have inside sources. If it doesn't, you didn't believe it anyway. It's your m.o.

Knowing that you are hearing we might possibly be looking at something big, well, it gives me a peaceful easy feeling. I'm certain your sources won't let me down.

You're going to use THAT post as the, "coming from your sources, I feel good"??? Are you just that retarded to see that it was done tounge and cheek? Also, whenever something happens after I've stated...."This is what I'm hearing", have you ever seen where I come back stating, "See, I was right" or "I Told Ya'll"? The answer to that would be....nope. If what I'm hearing comes true....It was true, what I'd heard. If what I'm hearing doesn't come true....then, it wasn't true, what I'd heard. Who Cares??

If what I'm hearing about uat is true, then the NCAA might pull the trigger the time around, and it wouldn't be just because of the Textbook 5. And no, I'm not talking the "Death Penalty" (There will never be another University put to sleep).

Alright then, what have you heard that is going to bring us down? You've mentioned Brandon Gibson. What else? Is this info 12th hand information that was posted by a "well connected" person from a paysite? Spill the beans, since it's obviously already making it's way around.

For the record, the person that wagered $500 bucks on Kirkpatrick to Auburn last spring didn't think for one second that you were tongue and cheek with your info. Dude straight up believed it was going to happen and claimed that you had "inside" connections which is why you made the post.

The Prowler · « **Reply #12 on:** March 08, 2009, 06:29:36 PM »

And the whole time, I was laughing my ass off. But, I did tell him that, it probably wouldn't be a good idea to make any kind of wager on a 18 year old. Also, I'd never seen that poster before...until he ran off with my "Yup, that's what I've heard".

As for giving up any more information, that I've heard, on the uat dealings with the NCAA. I'm going to wait, until I hear some more....because right now, it seems like pure speculation. Of course this is coming from the same person that started saying that uat had a PLOI in hand last year. So, who knows. Again, we shall see in the upcoming months.

Argo · « **Reply #13 on:** July 29, 2009, 10:29:17 PM »

So, exactly when will the "upcoming months" time line expire? Or will it carry into next year?

But Terry, his sources said so. But wait, he doesn't have sources or inside info. But sometimes he does. Unless he's getting totally shamed in a thread, then he never claimed to have any kind of inside info or sources. But he knows stuff. And as sources. But doesn't. You know?

Prowler, since the NCAA has had the Gadsden packet in hand for months now, when is the PLOI going to drop?
