For the record...

Who's the ******* that leaked John Bonds' name to the NYT reporter who wrote the original story that got this whole **** ball rolling? Can't improper recruitment be reported to the SEC office without being 'leaked?' Where are the 'original' leaks that got this thing going? I smell a crimson turd here. The SEC office is in B'ham and probably staffed with tide loyalist. They'd like nothing better than to **** on AU's little parade and 17 us in the process.I don't think it's a coincidence that when bama gets caught with their hands dirty (Albert Means)the SEC office drags its' feet, but let one of their rivals get caught and it's balls to the walls on the investigation. I'm telling you folks, there's a crimson turd in this punchbowl somewhere. I hope we beat the 17 outa them mother17ers. At least AU got a helluva lot more for their $$ than bama did. Maybe that's why tide fans are so 17ing jealous.

Probably the dude from the NCAA who interviewed him.

...that the NCAA would leak info to somebody like ESPN? Man, that's how they operate. They have to win the battle in the court of public opinion cause they don't have subpoena power. Start a brush fire and flush the snakes from the thicket.

After that debacle where Fulmer and Tennessee "Rolled" over on Alabama, and didn't divulge information pertaining to illegal actions, the SEC mandated a new rule. This "Fulmer Rule" pretty much states that if any individual, associated with any SEC university, is approached with or knows of illegal activities, they must report them immediately to the SEC office, or they could face reprimand later when the accusations arise.

Pretty much, if you know of something illegal, choose to turn the other cheek, the allegations surface down the road and it is found out that you knew and did nothing, you will get a smaller hammer. So Auburn fans should really thank Fat Phil and their big brother.
