I wonder what this conversation is about.

It means this is part of the "looming investigation" on Auburn and the HAMMER is about to drop.

From Tidesports:

The NCAA be trippen indeed.  And my high school.  And errone but me.

Brent Calloway has had a tumultuous last six months. Now, it looks like the 2011 signee will have to wait another month before enrolling at the University of Alabama and begin working out with the Crimson Tide.

Calloway was hoping to enroll in UA's Summer II term, but another mix-up with one of his classes has prevented him from doing that, and he will have to wait until August before taking his first class at Alabama. 

"Everything collapsed," Calloway said. "There was a bunch of mix-ups at my school. I didn't know which class I was supposed to take, and I didn't take that class. I graduated fine, but I just didn't know I was supposed to take that class. I took the class, but they said I finished it too fast, so I had to take another class. Now I have to take this class for the next four weeks."

The Russellville High School star doesn't know who's responsible for the mistake, but he's frustrated that he can't get down to Tuscaloosa to start working out.

"I don't know who mixed it up," Calloway said. "Somehow, somebody messed up something, and I'm the one who has to pay the consequences for it. "I'm very excited (to get to UA), but every time I get ready to get down there and I think I'm good, something always comes up."

Calloway is confident that once he finishes the class he is scheduled to take this month, there will be no more issues regarding his eligibility.

"After I finish this class, I'm straight," he said. "I asked them today, 'Are you sure this is the last class I have to take? If I finish this class, am I going to get accepted?' They said if I go ahead and do it, I'll be straight."

I wonder how these NCAA interviews go.

"Brent, we're sorry to say that you won't be attending Alabama next year because of their compliance department.  Is there anything you have to say?"

"What the fu-?  Yeah I have something to say.  That Saban paid me $5000 to commit to Auburn and then decommit right at the end and sign with Bama.  That fucking Woodruff said Kirby Smart was paying him $50,000 to take me to the beach so I'd sign with Bama.  You fucking serious?"

"Naaahh.  We were just fuckin' with ya.  But thanks for that info."

So, when exactly did his HS find out that he needed to take another class to be qualified?  Right around the time that the NCAA was in Russellville looking into the booster that took him on numerous trips, including the one to the beach the day before signing day?

I can assure you that advisors at high schools make errors on many student records. And  if and when your own reach their 3rd year you need to go take a look yourself and have them walk you through it. No way a high profile kid like Calloway should have any questions with his transcripts but it happens all too often.
