Danny Sheridan w/PF,'NCAA 's investigation into AU has been revved up since Chizik's encounter in Destin.'

Sheridan on Cam Newton investigation,'As I understand it, the NCAA is trying to get an alleged 3rd person or bag man to come forward.'

Sheridan,'The investigation on Cam Newton is centered on his recruitment to AU. MSU is not a factor at all.'

Sheridan,'If the dots get connected, major sanctions will follow- vacation of Heisman & national champiosnhip.'

Sheridan about NCAA investigation at AU,'They think they know the third party & who put up the money.'

SEC fans respond:

tick, tick, tick, tick

:HUGEFUCKINGPOPCORN:

They think. Not saying they are not following a lead, but will wait for a specific name, etc. 

Move along; nothing to see here.

DEFLECT! DEFLECT! What about the TREEESSSS!!!!????

He's a prognosticator on politics and college football. He is pretty good at it. He knows a lot of people. Having said all of that, I'm sticking my head in the sand until the NCAA digs it up. 

While it might provide some measure of personal comfort, I wonder how effective it really is to call Sheridan a Bammer.

Also mentioned 15 other schools getting looked.... Mentioned secondary violations will get punished...no more hand slaps. Auburn fans probably shitting right about now.

NOW LETS ALL REJOICE!!!

the idea that anyone could believe Auburn is going to get off clean is absolutely baffling. Even if they can never prove the Cam stuff they will be all over Auburn's program looking into everything and they will find something. No major SEC school could get off clean with that kind of scrutiny.

Intersting he said that Cams church got 20 grand of repairs and the NCAA pretty much knows it

Get it right, bruh. It's the "Three D's of NCAA Investigation"
Deflect
Deny
Distort

Danny Sheridan doesn't usually spew bullcrap...not from things I have heard from him in the past anyways...

Do I think the NCAA will get the money-man to talk? No
Do I think Yahoo Sports will get the money-man to talk? Yes
I have every confidence that Auburn will go down, the title will be vacated and Cam's Heisman will be Reggied.

I bet Chiz is glad he renegotiated his contract so they couldn't freeze his salary while AU is on investigation. The bagman may be testifying in the bingo trial.

Auburn killed the bagman in Ohio.

While I agree that Auburn fans are probably right to be a bit more thick-skinned and skeptical about NCAA doomsaying, would you not agree that it's more than a little fallacious to completely discredit someone simply because he's a Bama alum?
If the guy has sources or connections, they can't count, obviously, because he's a Bammer, right?
If he knows something, it has to be blown out of proportion or, even worse, just a plain lie because he's a Bammer... right?
It's almost like as though you expect everyone with a 'Bama affiliation to be exactly like the homers you meet on Internet message boards... 

ALL IN BITCHES

So, apparently, it isn't news to anyone on this board that the NCAA is looking for a 3rd party/bagman between the Newton's and a buyer? Because that's news to me.

Auburn fans remain defiant:

...the NCAA believes that an AU alumnus paid Cam and they think they know who it is?
Am I right on this?

Yep, that's what you heard... Sheridan claims the NCAA is just waiting for the bagman to come forward and sign a statement

He said that the NCAA believes that a 3rd party paid Cecil between $180,000 and $200,000, with about $20,000 of that going to his church. He said the NCAA believes they know who the 3rd party is. He said neither AU or the coaches were involved, and that it wasn't an AU booster that made the payment, but a 3rd party that was working for an AU booster.  He said the investigation "ratcheted up" after Chizik questioned the NCAA rep back in May. He said the NCAA is currently trying to get the 3rd party to sign a statement admitting it, but that without subpoena power they can't force the 3rd party to do anything.

It was me. I apologize.

So basically, there's nothing "new" here. The NCAA is still waiting for some evidence?

Let me guess....the 3rd party is just a person on the REC payroll paid to lie to the NCAA.

Come on folks.....the NCAA has the Newton's personal and church bank records.  Unless, the NCAA gets a search warrant (which they can't do) and finds the money in Cecil's mattress or in a jar buried in the back yard, the money simply does not exist except in Sheridan's bammerland.

Are we talking about Danny Sheridan? He is actually has some credibility. The hole in story is why would Chizik pester the NCAA about the case if he knew we did something fishy?

Does Sheridan work for the NCAA?

also remember that the FBI has already been involved trying to find a money trail......that would have led to a tax issue for the Newtons' if it had turned up anything. The IRS would have gotten involved then and any paper in the world could have gotten those records and published them.

That's actually a good point.  So...they're saying Cecil accepted 200K in CASH!?!?!  Because it didn't go into the bank.  Then...Cecil repaired parts of his church, PAID CASH for it, and no contractors have come forward on this?   And 20K was not enough to fix the church?  Because we know that last fall the church wasn't close to fixed.

You missed the part where he said the AU coaching staff wasn't involved and wasn't aware of this.

They need to get more creative with their stories.  The $200,000 and $180,000 they lifted straight from the Kenny Rogers story.  They have reached the depths of despair and desperation, and if anyone from the NCAA falls for this crap, there is no hope for college football. 

But supposedly the FBI hasnt investigated Auburn. Theyve investigated Kenny Rogers and John Bond but not Auburn....supposedly.
