Auburn's football program changed players' grades to secure eligibility, offered money to potential NFL draft picks to 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.
The report appears on Roberts' website, Roopstigo.com. According to three former Auburn players, as many as nine players' grades were changed prior to Auburn's win in the 2011 BCS national championship game.

Current Florida head coach Will Muschamp (Auburn defensive coordinator under Chizik) is also reported to have given out large sums of money to players.

Not a shock. Let's see if anything comes of it.

 
ROAST 'EM! Seriously I would love nothing more than to see Auburn and the SEC got slapped with some charges.

 
I bet you this is why Jonathan Rose left. Not that the situation had to do with him but this was probably hanging over the teams head ever since it occurred and he knew he had to leave.

It said that the Muschamp incident took place in 2007. Muschamp was DC for Tubberville. He left for Texas to take Chizek's DC job when he took the Iowa St. HC job, and later the Auburn HC job a couple years later.

This is suggestive that it is far from a Chizek problem. It is an institutional problem. If Penn St got what they did-agree or disagree, and if nothing comes of this for Auburn, then there has to be some serious considerations of double standards for the SEC that we already suspect anyway.
