Title: Auburn Fans Going Crazy Over Possible Scandal Out of Memphis Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 10, 2012, 09:26:24 PM Quote Auburn freshman running back Jovon Robinson is being held out of practice while the NCAA investigates allegations that his high school transcript was falsified. Quote Memphis City Schools said in a statement that NCAA officials contacted the school district Tuesday regarding allegations involving a former Wooddale High School athlete. The statement said schools superintendent Kriner Cash ordered an immediate investigation and that a school guidance counselor resigned after admitting to creating the fake transcript. http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8257979/ncaa-reviewing-prep-transcript-auburn-tigers-jovon-robinson Here's the insane reaction by the Barn folks. Quote Re: I don't know why you guys are blaming bama for the Robinson Lots of desperate folks in knoxville these days. But you guys take the cake-- suits, Chargers, Yukons, computers, grades changed, funneling players through high schools, houses for jobless/single moms. There's more but i'm tired.bored1 Quote bammer is the one with a team full of players driving expensive cars with custom plates! Quote Selling thousands of books, and not getting called out for it. Ball St took the sword for bammer. It goes on and on. Amazing. :tinfoil: http://mbd.scout.com/mb.aspx?s=6&f=1010&t=9219698 Title: Re: Auburn Fans Going Crazy Over Possible Scandal Out of Memphis Post by: Chechem on August 10, 2012, 09:39:49 PM Best:
Quote People of this board blame bammer for everything. Quote I don't buy into all of the conspiracy theories, but I have no doubt that the bammedia will play this up as if Coach Chizik had beat up a nun. Title: Re: Auburn Fans Going Crazy Over Possible Scandal Out of Memphis Post by: Chechem on August 10, 2012, 09:54:12 PM Memphis paper:
Quote Auburn spokesman Kirk Sampson said that Robinson, a 6-foot-1, 227-pound running back who was one of the area's top recruits last season, has been held out of practice while his academic status was under review... http://www.commercialappeal.com/news/2012/aug/10/wooddale-high-guidance-counselor-admits-creating-t/ and http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/8257979/ncaa-reviewing-prep-transcript-auburn-tigers-jovon-robinson Title: Re: Auburn Fans Going Crazy Over Possible Scandal Out of Memphis Post by: Chechem on August 10, 2012, 09:58:12 PM "Auburn would likely face no NCAA punishment in this case, but Robinson's eligibility to play is very much in doubt."

Read some of the other threads, they are even more over-the-top and conspiratorial. It's so incredible it is not believable. Plus, Aubies were calling Finebaum after he reported the newspaper story on the air, accusing him of lying, trying to set up Auburn, twisting the truth, showing favortism, etc. Finebaum kept laughing while reminding the fans he was just reporting what a newspaper was saying. :popcorn2: Title: Re: Auburn Fans Going Crazy Over Possible Scandal Out of Memphis Post by: Chechem on August 10, 2012, 10:11:37 PM Pretty funny, MD.
Check this story: http://www.collegeandmagnolia.com/2012/8/10/3234592/memphis-blues-for-robinson Quote Bama Fan Approach: "The Barn is burning, PAWWWWLLL. It was only a matter of time before they got caught paying all those players and giving them cars! DEATH PENALTY!! Roll Tide!" Auburn Fan Approach: "Jovon Robinson didn't know. It worked last time. We are as clean as a whistle. War Eagle, Pawwwlll" Title: Re: Auburn Fans Going Crazy Over Possible Scandal Out of Memphis Post by: Marshal Dillon on August 10, 2012, 11:22:59 PM There are two big questions. Was the counselor paid by someone to change the grades or did they do it on their on? Secondly, what about the supposed new Dodge (Charger is my guess) he might be driving, how was that paid for? Someone stated on Finebaum that the father was injured in an industrial accident and received a financial settlement of $250,000, but the NCAA was having trouble getting proof about the car ownership.

Interesting quote, especially since the Aubs are supposed to have 18 returning starters: http://www.nationalchamps.net/2012/earlybird/teams/auburn.htm Quote The term "rebuild" is no longer a usable excuse with 18 returning starters.
