Wonderful thanks a lot Bowden :facepalm:
Snippet:
When Terry Bowden was hired in 1993 to coach Auburn, he was a bright and audacious young (mid-30s) coach eager to make his legendary father proud and make a name for himself.
Everything changed within his first week. An assistant coach from the previous staff, whom Bowden was told he had to retain, walked into his office and placed a black ledger on his desk. It was a list of players who were being paid.
This is how we do it around here, Bowden was told.
This story has been told throughout the years and has almost become folklore, with too many incorrect iterations clouding reality. Auburn officials have always denied it, the NCAA could never nail it down and the statute of limitations on infractions has long since passed.
But here's the catch: I've seen the ledger.
Saw it 13 years ago when Bowden—now the coach at Akron—was a studio host for ABC's college football coverage and lived in my hometown. I went to his house one sleepy spring morning, expecting to talk about why such a successful coach had walked away from it all. He sat behind the desk of a makeshift office in his master bedroom, pulled out the ledger and plopped it on his desk.
Just like it had happened to him.
I saw the names, saw the money, saw the way players were recruited and what they were paid.
"See that!" Bowden said that day. "The look on your face was the same look on my face when I first saw it."
Bowden told the assistant coach, "Pay off the players that were promised and never do it again."
Yes, he cheated. You wouldn't have?

Why is it that the only coach in that entire piece who openly admitted to paying players, was Terry Bowden? Everyone else remained anominus. But that little shit spoke up and pointed fingers. Acting self righteous as if he didn't know this went on or, that that's how Diddy built his damn program. Fuck him!

Was this when he let his kids throw up on the floor? I wish I would have known you then. I would have come in and done the same.
