So, you're saying Anderson let those boys ride in his Delorean too?

LOL....no Delorean, but you're definitely on the right track. Supposedly, there's more to the story, than just the fishing and the Cruise trips. It involves another player and it has something to do with electronics and horsepower...again, bammers, this is just some of the rumors that are coming out, and it isn't coming from the Auburn side.

Upshaw and the laptop? Yeah, that actually did come from the Auburn side. Hey, we're still waiting on these pictures. Oh, and the Gadsden LOI while you're at it.....

There will be a player suspended to start the season but it won't be because of horsepower, although I KNEW prowler would try to tie that into the rumor when it finally came out.

I have heard conflicting stories on the reason for suspension, one involving electronics and one involving grades. Either way, the prowler is finally getting a little closer with his prowling.

FWIW, I heard this player would be suspended almost a month ago. You're slipping prowler.

Face planting his girlfriend won't get him suspended...what did he do, knock over a Gateway retail store?

Here ya go rws:

Quote

TUSCALOOSA | University of Alabama officials, who received a favorable ruling on the status of football players Julio Jones and Mark Ingram on Wednesday night, continue to await NCAA ruling on a third player, sophomore linebacker Jerrell Harris.

Harris also had contact with Athens resident Curtis Anderson -- who provided a fishing trip and other impermissible benefits to Jones and Ingram, resulting in them being ruled ineligible until the NCAA rendered a decision on the matter -- and may also have received an extra benefit, according to a source familiar with the case.

UA discovered Harris’ involvement with Anderson while investigating Jones’ and Ingram’s contacts with Anderson. UA declared Jones and Ingram ineligible and appealed for their reinstatement, which was granted Wednesday night. The NCAA found Jones and Ingram had “received impermissible food, lodging, transportation and entertainment from (Anderson).”

Jones and Ingram repayed the value of the impermissible benefits to charity.

Deborah M. Lane, assistant to the president and assistant vice president for university relations, released a statement last month on UA’s investigation into Anderson’s contact with UA student-athletes:

“The University is aware of Mr. Anderson, and has taken appropriate steps,” the statement said. “Mr. Anderson is not affiliated with UA. He is not a UA booster, fan or alumnus, and is not a UA season ticket holder. In fact, Mr. Anderson told us that all of his family are fans of another SEC school.”

It is unknown why Harris’ situation has not been resolved. NCAA by-laws, however, require student-athletes to be forthcoming in any eligibility investigation. No timetable is known for a ruling on Harris’ eligibility, which could preclude his participation in Saturday’s season opener against Virginia Tech.

Harris, from Gadsden, is listed as a second-string weakside linebacker on the UA depth chart. He played in 10 games last season and made three tackles.

A source close to the situation said Harris had hoped to be cleared to play when Jones and Ingram received clearance, but now Harris is not clear on when he might be reinstated.

Another source told The Tuscaloosa News that true freshman Nico Johnson would likely step into the backup role at the weakside position behind Dont’a Hightower for Saturday’s game against Virginia Tech if Harris is not cleared. Johnson was listed with the middle linebackers when the team’s official depth chart was released on Monday.

So, I guess this is how the REC is working now...do business through an uninvolved party. BTW, there are some bammer supporters that work at Eagle Wholesale.

Such as? I know Anderson's business partner is an Auburn donor. He even has his name on an AU page as a donor, he graduated from AU in the 70's. So, whats the names of these "bammer supporters"? FWIW, I think Harris is sitting out moreso for not being completely honest about his role in it, and not being forthcoming with information. I think the NCAA has determined that Anderson is in no way, shape, or form connected to Alabama. Given our past, if they had even the SMALLEST thought that boosters or anything even closely resembling an Alabama supporter were involved in this, do you REALLY think the NCAA would clear Ingram and Jones to play? I think not.

Its not like Julio didn't work before he was in college. He worked at Zeke's for a long time before he graduated, and he also worked for his cousin's landscaping company for some time. They've known for months now that they were more than likely going to have to some off some cash. I would think in a matter of 4 months, you could manage to scrape up a couple hundred bucks from your family alone.

Is Zeke's where you got your first taste of Julio's man juice?

According to an article in the MPR today, Curtis Anderson has lawyered up, according to him anyways. Now, Prowler, you claimed a while back that Operation Reddog was real. How far did it go? Things ae flying that this was part of it, and its sort of believable. Anderson has two sons that have gone to AU, his business partner is a big AU booster, and according to UA's investigation (which the NCAA found to be fact), he is not in anyway connected to UA and is not even a UA fan. He and his family are fans of "another SEC school". Prowler, given all of that, and now that he has lawyered up, are you still saying that Anderson is a UA booster as you did before? I'm not all into the conspiracy theories, but for a guy with so many AU connections, he sure doesn't want anybody digging too deep.

Shut the fuck up.

The guy is not an Auburn fan. If so, he's the worst rogue booster in NCAA history. Why would an Auburn booster give bammer players that are already signed with uat free shit?

And why are you assuming that the "other SEC school" he's allegedly a fan of is Auburn? He lives in Athens...

Chizad, how close is Notasulga to Auburn? Thats where Anderson's company was originally incorporated at and where he lived before moving the company, etc, to Athens.

And to answer your question, I would think given our past history with boosters, etc, perhaps they thought the NCAA would just bite on this and not really look too far into it. No clue. Why would an Alabama booster give them free shit a year after they have signed? "Hey guys, sign with Alabama, and a year later we'll take you fishing."

So you think your rogue boosters only pay players to coerce them to sign for bammer. Once they're there, they're on their own...

Another interesting note: apparently an NCAA ruling says that any amount under $100 can be repaid.

Anything over $100 is a violation that cannot be "repayed". Usually it is handled with a game or two suspension or worse.

So the total value of this deep sea fishing trip was under $50 apiece?

Apparently the NCAA sees more to it. Don't try to tell me that the NCAA is helping us sweep something under the rug. Apparently they are pretty satisfied that this guy is in no way, shape, or form tied to UA. If they had the smallest thought of it, especially given our past, do you think Julio and Ingram would be playing this weekend? Also, something else interesting, is Anderson's business partner in Eagle Wholesale is also the incorporator of Eagle Sales Group LLC in Opelika. He also used to own Alabama Precast & Pipe Supply in Opelika as well. Seeing alot of AU connection to Anderson here.....

Oh, and just so you know Chizad, you can shut the fuck up now.....but hey, I'm sure Anderson's attorney is lying or something. Yeah, Alabama paid him to say this.

Plunk said Anderson's wife is an Auburn fan and they have a son who attends Auburn. Anderson's company is named Eagle Wholesale Supply, but Plunk said that name is taken from the Athens High Golden Eagles.
