With all the discussion we've had, this dot I am a gay twerker that has no balls!!!! I also have no idea how to use the quote function to post stories, so I annoy the piss out of others. I like male genatalia in and around my mouth. piece may have already been posted and I missed it. If so, feel free to point and laugh. You're all a bunch of hurtful meanies anyway. But the bolded part may hold some of the answers to questions we have about how deep this goes at Auburn.

Auburn president Steven Leath said in a statement Tuesday that the university was "saddened, angry and disappointed" in associate head basketball coach Chuck Person in wake of his arrest by the FBI and the allegations leveled against the former Auburn great.
Person was arrested Tuesday morning as part of a covert FBI investigation into the corruption of college basketball. Person is facing six federal charges of corruption, bribery and fraud, and he is alleged to have received $91,500 in bribes over a 10-month period. If convicted of all charges, Person could face up to 80 years in prison.
The school has since suspended Person indefinitely and without pay.
Leath, in speaking to ESPN on Wednesday, said he received a call from an FBI agent on Monday night and was informed of the investigation during a meeting with the agent shortly before 8 a.m. Tuesday. At that meeting, the agent detailed the complex investigation and told Leath that the agency had already arrested Person earlier that morning.
Leath was shocked by the revelation but found relief in the fact that the university was not implicated and is not a target of the investigation by the FBI and the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York.
"I think it says clearly that they don't think there's some structural problem or some broader problem at the university, that this was an isolated individual," Leath told ESPN. "I don't think anybody else knew. I don't think there's any indication at Auburn that anybody else knew about this."
On Tuesday afternoon, Auburn retained the Birmingham-based law firm Lightfoot, Franklin and White to conduct an internal review of the men's basketball program. The same law firm was hired last month to conduct an extensive review of Auburn's softball program in the wake of that scandal.
Person appeared in court in Montgomery on Tuesday and was released from custody. He was ordered to appear in court in the Southern District of New York on Oct. 10 at 9 a.m. ET. Person has hired Montgomery-based lawyers Joel Connally and Jeff Duffey to represent him.
According to the ESPN report, Leath said the university has identified the two student-athletes discussed in the federal complaint against Person but will not publicly name them. He added that the school will wait until Lightfoot, Franklin and White finishes its internal review of the program before taking additional actions, if any, regarding those athletes and the basketball program.

Where, oh where is the Jacobs?

I really think this broke his back and he is done at Auburn. As soon as the scandal settles I wouldn't be surprised if he's let go or given the choice to resign.

The other side of that is the President's quotes can be interpreted to mean Pearl and Jacobs are safe. The FBI let us know that nobody else had knowledge. He was a lone wolf.
Mike & Mike played a quote from Urban Meyer this morning where Cryer said any coach who intentionally gives money to a player should never be allowed to coach again. Banned for life. Joey Galloway (tOSU player) was in studio and he, along with everyone else just started laughing and saying none of this goes on without the head coach's knowledge. The HC knows exactly how you got that new Charger. He knows exactly how your parents got that new home or job. He knows exactly who paid you that money. The HC just insulates himself and has those under him do the dirty work.
They didn't even try to hide it.

This is why I don't think Jacobs is going anywhere until the school year is over. That law firm is going to milk us for everything they can.

This gives me wood.

I heard President Sheath (what is his name?) gave the "no comment" answer in response to Jacobs' future.
I haven't seen that anywhere though.

Well, you didn't see it because he didn't say anything. "No comment". Duh!

That 2.7 mil AU has paid this law firm in the 2000's would go a long way to helping a true Auburn brother fix up his beach trailer.

Some notes:
The basketball scandal has called into question Jacobs' selection of head coach Bruce Pearl, who was still under a show cause for NCAA violations in his previous coaching position at Tennessee when Auburn hired him.
No. Fuck you. No it hasn't. Not in the least. Eat shit.
One name that may receive consideration to replace Jacobs: David Benedict. Currently the UConn AD, Benedict spent two years as the chief operating officer of Auburn Athletics before taking the Connecticut job in 2016.
Return of the Lash?
That transition was expected to take place after the current football season, but recent scandals involving the school's softball and men's basketball programs have accelerated the process, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.
Really? This is the part I don't buy. He wasn't going anywhere. They're going to pretend like he was in order to hopefully buy some goodwill from the NCAA (if it comes to that).
Where is Jay going to go? All they can possibly do is reassign him. He's never been out of Auburn.
