JwgreDeux 1,279 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I will continue to be interested if anything else comes out, but this article puts two sources on the record, stating that an unrelated man, took Calloway on several trips to Tuscaloosa and no other school, that this same man took Calloway out of the state to Florida just prior to signing day. It also has Calloway's coach quoting Calloway saying he wants to go to Auburn 100%, but Peaches is pressuring him to go to UA, to the degree that he prevents his coach from speaking to him. It also points out that UA's compliance staff did a 36 hour investigation and found no wrong doing. This is speculation on my part, but if he went silent to wait on them to do a dust up investigation, and is now going to put out evidence that UA ignored or overlooked, then that could be embarrassing for UA.

auriptide 0 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 i agree that there doesn't seem to be much substance to that article in regards to payments or anything the NCAA would care about? It just makes Alabama look bad. I'm glad that there are sources named, but isn't the high school coach an Auburn grad? i hope there is more coming... with less of the named sources tied to Auburn. Hate to say it, but right now we look kind of like sour grapes that Calloway switched back to Bama. I don't see it that way. bama controls most of the media in this state, so they would not dare test ua. Only those with Auburn ties can get this ball rolling. You may see a Scarbinsky join in, if JLee can get the heat high enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abrnfanatc 6 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 You may see a Scarbinsky join in, if JLee can get the heat high enough. Word on the streets is that he had a chance to do so, but was whacked down at the last minute back in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaotic_zx 1,044 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Reading that article made me sick. The NCAA may not and probably won't do a thing. The Birmingham news may cover it up but the story needs to be told. Anyone calling for JLee to stand down needs to re-evaluate their self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crackerjack 0 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 If Woodruff has ever made any donations to UA, he is considered a booster. This makes it real nasty for bama. Another thing that keeps ringing in my ear is the quick knee jerk reaction on twitter by Woodruff, especially since J Lee didn't name anyone at the time.

I have heard that Stancil is a huge Auburn fan and this appears to be much adieu about nothing. Can anyone verify that the mortgage was indeed paid off 15 years ago?

Sig Sauer 0 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I think this all comes down to the definition of a "booster". Cam Newton story basically came down to whether or not Cam knew anything about his father's scheme. If this guy is not a booster, what is he? Just a friend? It just sounds very creepy to me.

JMDurron 0 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 This lends some credibility to Lee's other accusations, but not nearly as much as a similarly thorough treatment of the mortgage/payment issue would. This article, by itself, isn't really much of anything to go on. I hope there is more to come, for Lee's sake if no one else's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

watsontiger98 9 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 One point about Peaches mortgage. His original mortgage may have been paid off 15 years ago, but he may have gotten a equity line or any of the other houses that he says he owns and that may be what he got behind on. Just a thought.

aupops2 9 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Jeffrey Lee just needs to leave it alone. I want Bama to get caught just as badly as he and everyone else do, but nothing is going to come of this and we all know it. J Lee needs to move on and start writing some stories about players that are actually on our team. Wrong; we ALL do not know it!! OK to speak for yourself, but not 6000 others!!

AUoutsider 0 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 By waiting until after Bama's "36 hour" investigation to ramp up the story, Lee has left the Bama administration with very few, if any PR options. They already played their hand, and if the NCAA is interested in where this smoke is coming from they will have to investigate it themselves. Asking Bama to investigate seems to be no longer an option. I assume the NCAA will be very interested in this situation because there is possibly a case of a recruit being forced towards a school by all the adults in his life. Regardless of whether there were any extra benefits for Peaches, I don't think the NCAA wants to see behavior like this continue. It will come down to what the NCAA sees as an acceptable amount of influence by parents and guardians, and if they can draw a verifiable line between acceptable influence and unacceptable influence. If Calloway every comes out and says it was totally his decision, without proof of benefits that will be the end of the story. There is also the use of these "supporters" that the NCAA has to see as a major slap in their face. Schools can easily "protect" the relationship between certain rich fans and the school by making sure their fandom isn't on record (there is no record of them purchasing tickets.... but they've been to every game). I'm sure Bama has an army of these guys, and the NCAA has to know it. For Bama to proudly stand behind this technicality and continue to abuse it I hope makes them a tasty target for the NCAA. Here's what I think happens... after some behind the scenes wrangling with the NCAA, Bama releases Calloway from his LOI and he is free to enroll anywhere else with no penalty. Also, Woodruff is disassociated from their program. That is probably the best scenario for us. I don't think it will get any uglier than that for Bama.
