Twelve players from that same team failed drug tests for marijuana, test results were hidden. Isn't it fun to be part of that program right now?

I thought the rule was if you fired your coach you get a slap on the wrist bowl ban.

If there is a single sentence that sums up the Auburn football program, and really, much of the SEC, it's this one:

(Dakota Mosley) says he learned he'd failed a sixth test on the same day he was scheduled to meet with NCAA investigators to discuss a probe into potential recruiting violations.

LOL. No words

Where's the SEC chant when you need it...

I'd laugh if it wasn't just Auburn, but if every school in the SEC was involved and were in it together...

Can you imagine the sh*t storm that would occur??

ESPN and Mark May would cover it up...ESPN couldn't survive without its lover.

Don't forget May's partner in crime, the vanilla assassin, Kirk Herbstreit

This just keeps getting better and better. If their punishment isn't almost as bad as Penn State's, then it's a load of crap. It's essentially the same situation of institutional cover-up. The only difference is that Auburn covered up drug use and paid its players, but PSU covered up a molester.

Conveniently, the daily ESPN talking heads dont seem to think there's anything there.

At least not while they are cashing checks from The Mother Ship.

 

[QMany]

Convenient that NOW there is going to be an ESPN feature on this.

Auburn University Internal Auditing found that "there is no evidence academic fraud occurred."

Even our own Michael Rose thinks that's funny:

Lol I love internal investigations.... Like they come out and say, "yep we did it" they cracks me up

 

[beanman]

Instead of investigating, they probably just made sure it was covered up well enough that they'd never get caught.

And the centerpiece of the story has plead guilty to first degree armed robbery. Selena Roberts is a hack. There is a reason she went from cover stories on SI to a local paper in Alabama.

This is true.

Auburn is a dirty program. Plain and simple. Theyve been on probation for as long as I can remember. They are the current day SMU. They are trying so hard to keep up with Bama and LSU (as SMU was with A&M and Texas) that they keep digging deeper and deeper. And one day they're going to realize they aint got a tall enough ladder.
