then they can trace that check back to the payor. If the payor is an Auburn alum/booster/whatever, and this is his first donation ever made to this church, I think there is no legal issues here, but I think that's enough for the NCAA to determine he was paid off, especially with Bond's account of the $200k demand.
Now, if the $200k was paid in cash, which it most likely was, then the NCAA needs to analyze the **** out of the donations received and interrogate the hell out of all involved in the church.
Don't forget, that with the NCAA, you are guilty until proven innocent.
