Auburn's football program changed players' grades to secure eligibility, offered money to potential NFL draft picks so they would return for their senior seasons, and violated NCAA recruiting rules under former coach Gene Chizik, according to a report by former New York Times and Sports Illustrated writer Selena Roberts.
Apparently Micheal Dyer and former WR Davon Adams (I'm sure we will hear more names coming out) got paid or were offered payment if they returned to school. If you have been reading this blog for a while you know that I am strong advocate of college players getting paid a stipend for their services at their respective colleges. I also enjoy dirty programs as well.
But raise your hand if you don't expect every southern power house school to do something against the NCAA regulations? Isn't it obvious and just expected that these schools do something shady to continuously get top recruits.
The interesting thing will be if Cam Newton was part of this. I know the NCAA had a giant investigation involving him, so he will be clean, but if anyone from that team wasn't that 2010 National Championship banner will definitely be removed.
