You forget, evidence isn't needed...all this cash WILL BE from the slush fund. Shane will make sure you hear that "fact" every day for the next year.

I wish I could get in on this slush fund.

UPDATE @ 9:15 p.m. â€” Auburn has in its possession signed letters from all four players saying they were unaware of any NCAA violations during their time on campus.

The salient portion of the letter reads as follows:

You affirm that you have reported to the director of athletics of your institution any violation of NCAA regulations involving you or your institution. You affirm that you understand that if you sign this statement falsely or erroneously, you violate NCAA legislation on ethical conduct and you will further jeopardize your eligibility.

Is that an air-tight alibi? Far from it, though I found that interesting and notable.

UPDATE @ 9:30 p.m. â€” Auburn is not planning to offer any statement on the program beyond what it submitted to HBO earlier this year. That reads as follows:

Auburn Athletics respectfully declines to comment on these alleged claims apparently made by a few former football players. Compliance with all NCAA and Southeastern Conference rules is a major emphasis and top priority for all of our athletic programs at Auburn University.

That is all the school should have to say.

Yes, but the other players speaking out against this are not. I find it ironic that the players that are in the NFL or look to have promising NFL careers are the ones debunking this and the players in the HBO interview are the ones that fizzled out.

Good point.

Ziemba, Tate, Campbell, Caddy, Ronnie Brown, Carlos Rogers, Dansby, D Thomas, Courtney Taylor, Obamanu, Aroshamadu, Rosegreen, Pugh, Marcus McNeil, Simmons, Newton, Adams, Fairley. None of this guys got a damned dime.

But somehow Ramsay (only 1 year lettered), Grey (never played), Reddick (not a star) somehow all got thousands left and right????

What

The

Fuck

Ever

McClover - yes, he was a good rush DE, but THAT good?? Nope. Fuck him and his ax grinding, REC money taking self. All of em. Douche bags.

The source, the obvious motives, the lapse of time, the allegations that can't be substantiated due to time, and amounts of money, and method of delivery...all the real star players who refute it...none of that will matter to those who want to believe it.

Well of course it won't but the only ones who have to have common sense in this situation is the NCAA.

I think this guy is broke and needs the money. I also find it odd the big dogs are not getting paid.

HBO says they didnt pay them, but HBO is sponsoring some event put on by McGlover's charity foundation.

Its just another media outlet riding piggy back on the whole Cam Newton non-story. I don't subscribe to HBO anyway so fuck'em. They haven't been relevant since Boxing was worth a shit. The sad part is what JR said, the statements from tons of other ex-Auburn players will be totally overlooked. Sani is right though, the NCAA is what matters but the media is on a witch hunt and I'm sick of it.

Can one of you fine counselors answer me this? Would the money that they admitted to taking be taxable income, and thus the subject to fines from the IRS for not reporting it?

Not a tax lieyer but I believe you are on to something here. How much would the interest be on this by now?
