As long as they didn't change Cam's grades they're fine. He singelhandedly won all their games and the National Title that year. All those other guys just had to play to make it 11 on 11.

I haven't read all the comments so if any of what I'm about to say is repetitive, meh whatever.
Here's the link to the original piece, http://www.roopstigo.com/reader/aubu...tas_for_glory/ The entire article is nothing more than crocodile tears from the family of a kid charged w/ armed robbery that's fixin' to face the music with a misleading title. Knocking over a drug house and getting kicked off the football team doesn't generate a lot of internet hits to Ms. Roberts' website roopstigo.com (She is a founder). A little spice w/ some token they paid players junk thrown in a minuscule part of the total piece to lend credence to the title will do the trick though. She's a AU alum who was also one of the leading torchbearers in the mob going after the Duke Lacrosse team a few years ago who never to my knowledge explained herself or apologized for the hatchet job she did on those kids. Fired by the NY Times, released by SI. Writing for some outlying website. A couple of the players "quoted" have come out denying what she quoted, http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...efits/2051603/ Maybe Auburn is paying players. It wouldn't be the first time (They practically lead the league in that category) nor would it surprise me. It would surprise me even less if they were changing grades to keep kids eligible. Regardless this Roberts chic has brought next to nothing to the table to compel me to believe what she alleges. As for this McNeil kid claiming innocence, usually when I enter someone's house I pull my shirt over my head. It was just bad luck that a robbery was taking place. And even worse luck that he'd ridden over to said drug house w/ the would be criminals.

The majority of drafted college players improve by leaps and bounds over their 3-4 year college career. So it's clearly working. |

This isn't like basketball, where you can build a team around 2 or 3 great players. This is a competitive sport where you need 22 players and bench depth. |

If you can't read, how do you know your grades need to be changed?
