You're welcome.

Finally, did a rich Auburn booster pay to move Foster from his Georgia HS to an Auburn HS? If they did, I don't care. And absent proof, speculation on any malfeasance is destructive and inappropriate.

Let's not become the SWC.

I don't think the SEC is in any danger of becoming the SWC.

The skullduggery they used to practice in the old SWC dwarfs anything that happens today. The day Eric Dickerson signed with SMU, he showed off his brand new gold Trans Am on Dallas TV. Cheating was so rampant they didn't even try to hide it. The NCAA slept through most of it.

But today's NCAA has awoken from its 70's slumber. tOSUc has proven that a couple of players who simply trade jerseys for tattoos can bring down an entire program.

There's at least one SEC team that does not resemble the SWC. The NCAA said so just last year.

When I saw the penalties, I joked that the media would somehow try to link Auburn to this.

And then... PRESTO!
The NCAA, heavily criticized for its sometimes-ponderous pace in deciding penalties as scandals mounted at Ohio State, Auburn, USC and elsewhere, acted with unprecedented swiftness in arriving at the sanctions for a team that is trying to start over with a new coach and a new outlook.

Poor ESPN. They just can't help themselves.

It's their fault your program is corrupt?

Auburn corrupt? We got a clean bill of health from the NCAA two years ago. We are squeaky clean.
