<p class="MsoNormal">The FBI spoke to John Bond and immediately after, left for
Dallas to meet with Kenny Rogers. Kenny, feeling the federal pressure spills
ALL the beans on the work he’s done lately. He makes a deal to trade testimony
against others for a lesser charge. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After speaking with him, the FBI informs the NCAA that they
are taking over the investigation. They subpoena all records from MSU, AU, the
SEC and the NCAA on the matter. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The FBI finds the following:</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kenny Rogers brokered a deal between Cecil Newton an AU booster
and Trooper Taylor in which $50,000 was paid up front from the booster to
Newton’s church with the other $150,00 to follow in $25,000 payments over the
following year from AU through the booster to the church. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Trooper feels the pressure from the feds and states that he
only followed direct orders from Chizik. Chizik, Trooper, the booster and Cecil
Newton are all charged with racketeering by the FBI. This information is passed
onto the NCAA who gives Auburn the death penalty.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Kenny Rogers also informs the FBI of the other schools that
made bids on Cam Newton. In the SEC, he implicates Tennessee along with Ole
Miss. Both are put on probation by the NCAA and lose ½ of their scholarships
for two years.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The FBI finds that MSU acted properly in reporting the violations.
They determine that the delay in supplying information to the SEC was caused by
excessive requirements for information and facts on the case from the SEC
office. Basically, they find that the SEC wanted MSU to do a complete
investigation on their own and supply ALL the facts. This requirement came
straight from Slive and was done in hopes that MSU would just drop the issue. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The FBI further finds that in September Slive finds out
about the impending media reports. He notifies AU and tells them to get their
ducks in a row to protect Auburns chances at the National Championship and the
payoff to the SEC involved. Slive is ultimately charged with conspiracy to
commit fraud and racketeering for attempting to cover up the incident so that
that SEC could profit.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It’s also uncovered that Rogers brokered the deal with Ole
Miss to get Masoli. This information is turned over to the NCAA who quickly
puts Ole Miss on double secret probation. Bear nation implodes.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">When the dust settles, Slive, Chizik, Trooper, Cecil Newton
and Kenny Rogers are in federal prision. Slive’s roommate, Bubba uses a cowbell
handle nightly to keep Slive “loose”.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Ole Miss fires the Nutt for getting them on double secret
probation. Auburn, in need of a coach, quickly hires the Nutt after hearing
that he’s good at Heepin people. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Ninja pulls a slick move and gets hired away from
Arizona as Slives replacement as SEC Commissioner. His first order of business
is to do away with the artificial noise maker rule and he puts a cowbell on is
desk and in every office of the SEC………..</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“……Daddy!! Daddy!!!! WAKE UP Daddy!!!!! Daddy, you were
dreaming and ringing your cowbell in your sleep. Was it a good dream?”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Yeah baby, it was a good dream! Auburn got the…”</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“Wait daddy, you need to see the news! MSU just got fined by
the SEC for violating reporting procedures!”</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">“What did they say about Auburn?”</p>
