I don’t know all the facts of what the FBI has at this point. It has hit other coaches but I haven’t seen where any other players family got money. So we may have problems with players that other teams don’t. I think this FBI thing was against The shoe companies mainly and the sports agents and coaches they were using. The players and their families were never the FBI targets. In fact from most of what I’ve read the consider the players the victims in this affair. That is why I think at the end of the day AU and our two players will be ok. But WHEN. What about this investigation should take so long? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think it’s this investigation. The investigation is just a decoy so the NCAA thinks we are working to ensure it doesn’t happen again. They are waiting to see if the FBI has any more shoes to drop. If we choose to let them play and a tape shows up incriminating the players then we are going to get hit hard. I know it’s not right but at the moment they are playing the hand as best they can. Everyone just has to have patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are 3-4 AU sports programs with "issues", allegations, claims and all sorts of crap they are dealing with. The basketball/FBI case is the biggest at the moment, but they are still dealing with the Title XI softball stuff, the racial discrimination in Track, and has Sunny's case been settled yet? Lightfoot/Franklin will damn sure have a Merry Christmas on Auburn's dollar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says that sometimes you have to just do what's right for others even if it's not the norm. I think it's true when dealing with a one on one situation. When what you do for one might have an affect on others you have to be careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did somebody pay him to make us lose WORSE than the spread? Well only partly a joke and no joke to those investigating it....but as I recall he was managing the game to make sure we lost by more than the spread and did that with turnovers and poor shooting which was so blatant that other players and the coach apparently noticed and reported him. Because the school reported the issue, AU did not face any penalties. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/9342210/ex-auburn-tigers-guard-varez-ward-indicted-point-shaving Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigeraddikt 1,598 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm sick of this waiting game bullcrap. Either cut them or play them. With the exception of MTSU and maybe Temple, AU's pre-conference schedule is hurting our RPI. We're gonna get in to the tournament based on our conference record and whether or not we have any respectable road wins. We need Wiley bad for conference play. Compliance needs to get its s#%+ together and draw some conclusions SOON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WDG 109 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Josh VitaleVerified account @AUBlog 12h12 hours ago More I'm going to preface this by recognizing that it's very early in the season and it hasn't come against the strongest schedule. But after finishing 13th last year, Auburn leads the SEC with a plus-10.9 rebounding margin through nine games this year.Without Austin Wiley.
