This doesn't prove that Auburn is clean. It just proves that they are good at getting away with it. Al Capone was a murderer, thief, gun runner, ran prostitutes, loan sharking, extortion, and guilty of every criminal act on the books. But all they could get on him was tax evasion. It didn't mean that he was a legitimate businessman, just that he was good at covering his tracks. Auburn is the Al Capone of college sports.

Interesting NCAA explanation in letter: RavenGray's (HBO) allegations "were not substantiated, & in some instances disputed by others."

The NCAA law is only as strong or weak as the willingness of those who can name names to them for them... since it has no subpoena power.

This should make for five very entertaining hours of programming for @finebaum today.

"Any allegations of major rules violations must meet a burden of proof, which is a higher standard than rampant public speculation online"

sorry, but, this just ruins my day....what a crock of .......where is JUSTICE?......I hope we beat them 157 to 0000000

The NCAA just could not adequately substantiate the charges,-- that is all. Sheridan is convinced he sw the "bagman" and the NCAA sw with him as well. Also there was another person present. If either of the two comes forward, at a later date, the barn is burnt. But the NCAA is merely saying they are finished expending resources on a stalemate.

Interesting that the NCAA came out with this statement. That in itself is not the norm. Around every corner of the carefully worded letter, the NCAA tried to make it clear they were not saying nothing happened. Just that they could not prove it beyond ANY doubt.

That's what all the writers are saying as well.

Herbstreit on PF. He had not heard the news until PF told him.

First Casey Anthony gets away....now this.... Oh well let's smack their butts up and down the field in late November! GO BAMA!!! ROLL TIDE!!!!

It sucks they get to keep a tainted championship, but having to keep Chizik as coach for at least 4-5 more years will be just as damaging as NCAA sanctions.  If Garcia wasn't the worst QB in SEC history Auburn would be 3-3 right now, and lucky not to be 1-5.  Alabama owns the state despite Auburn winning the NC last year.  Auburn will not be any better than they are this year any time in the next 5-10 years.

The NCAA only penalizes famous programs, not flash-in-the-pan ones.
