I just find this hard to believe. You cannot put yourself on the skyline recruiting top players and be outright crooked in doing it.
Reminds of all the shit that was swirling around Rodney Gardner a few years back.

I agree but when Charles Robinson is about to break the story some shit is going down.
-
I'm just sayin' that they are gonna have to show me something. We have all endured too much of this shit over the last few years for me to get excited over it without some pretty hard & tangible evidence.

Agreed. Otherwise this is just someone who has shit in their hand and is now starting to clap.

Agree, but if Charles Robinson is on this, then that worries me. He's very diligent. But from Jumbo's tweet post, I am not sure if that meant Charles Robinson was writing it or that it was just about Jovon Robinson. If C. Robinson is one of the journalists involved, that is a little more than I want to hear. He's not Scott Moore or Thayer Evans.

As stated already...Show me the proof and then I will be concerned. Until then, zero.

So forgive my ignorance, because I've only heard that there *is* something going down.. but what's the story? Is the new rumor that someone paid somebody to fudge Jovon Robinson's transcript or something??

READ MORE: Jovon Robinson (RB - Auburn)
Rumors have swirled for more than a week now that multiple media outlets are actively investigating a potential dirty recruiting story in Memphis about the transcript scandal involving Jovon Robinson and Auburn. Tuesday morning, Memphis Commercial Appeal columnist Geoff Calkins confirmed those rumors.

Robinson is the Memphis running back who was admitted to Auburn and then subsequently ruled ineligible after it was found that his transcripts were falsified by a guidance counselor.
The question, of course, then became one of Auburn's involvement, if any.
And with many media outlets in town, there is a worry that one outlet will run the story before it has all the facts, causing the key figures in the story to clam up before saying all they have to say to the other outlets still working the story.
Memphis has a reputation as a dirty recruiting area. Fans of Arkansas, Auburn, Alabama, Ole Miss and Tennessee all regularly accuse the others of buying players from the area. And Alabama was caught doing so in the Albert Means case.
What's the word on tha Skreets?
-
As stated already...Show me the proof and then I will be concerned. Until then, zero.
Again, depends on which Robinson they were talking about. Ive never known C. Rob to do shitty journalism. So it would make me worry moreso if he was on this story. But I almost think the Robinson in the tweet simply meant Jovon which we already know.
-
I'm not buying it until I see a legit journalist stand by it.
-
Sources say that it might be true.
Sources also say that Nick Saban might be 6 feet tall.
-
I'm gonna be honest, I kind of get an eerie feeling about this.
-
Pardon me, but where the hell does it say that Charles Robinson is working on the story?
And I don't buy it. If anything, it points to Ole Miss being implicated in the Jovon Robinson story. The counselor responsible was from Ole Miss, and the date of the grade change was before Auburn was involved with Jovon and when Ole Miss was pressing hard for him.
Supposedly there was a car purchased, but Robinson's family got a lot of money after his father died, so that angle is dead. Then, there's the supposed kidnapping where Robinson went to Auburn and didn't tell his mother, so she called the police.
If that's illegal, then Alabama'll be getting the death penalty for all the kids they've kidnapped to Pensacola before signing day.
I'm not worried. Not one person reporting any of this makes me squirm. Finebaum let Danny Sheridan spew his bullshit for months, and absolutely nothing came of it.
Fuck the haters. They can't handle when we just lose. They want us to be SMU so bad, they'll murder their own children in order to make it happen.
-

If there is a historical precedent on this.. if we were to go on probation, we'd have a perfect season and our coaching woes would go away. I call it "the Terry Bowden bender"
I have a feeling that if there were some meat to it.. something more substantial would've leaked by now especially in regards to previous recruits

â€multiple media people are 'investigating'â€...yeah, I'm not worried. I hope they dig real deep into Memphis and report any all findings.

What report?
Didn't you get the memo? There's a new cover sheet for the TPS reports.

Nothing like media shitheads making (manufacturing?) the news so other media shitheads can report on it.

Well that obviously proves it right there.

Shocking, because Chizik's always so talkative to the media types...

:hammer:

Chances are very high, that the "media outlets" are following up "tips" from anonymous callers with a 205, 334, 251 or 938 area codes, or from ghost email accounts. It will be a matter of who is willing to print/say the rumor thinking they've substantiated it through a "normally reliable source".
-
Calm down, this a ploy by Chizik to take the attention away from the field and remind everyone of how well he handles these situations.

I haven't seen any new rumors other than "multiple media outlets are checking into it". Like I said, show me the proof, if not, then zero fucks are given.

It's like this morning on the radio, the host says "We expect a report from Memphis any time now that could involve Auburn and sources are saying Alabama will be mentioned."
Okay....report from whom? About what? Who is saying this?

Agree. Until one of the few journalists I believe to be credible pops up about it, then I'm not worrying. I see one or two little half asses talking about it. And both quoting anonymous other sources. FAIL.

The NCAA investigation into Memphis-area high school football has continued, with the latest reports putting the magnifying glass on former Auburn running back signee Jovon Robinson.
The Birmingham News reported Tuesday that Robinson's former assistant coach at Wooddale High School, Courtney Rogers, confirmed for the paper that he has spoken to the NCAA about the altered Wooddale transcript that led to Robinson being declared academically ineligible.
"[The NCAA] talked to me and I'm going to leave it at that," Rogers said. "I'm not up for doing an interview."
Rogers did tell the News had no control over Robinson's transcript and that didn't know who was responsible for the changes. He said his brother Marcus Rogers, Wooddale's 2009 head coach, had also spoken to the NCAA. Two other Memphis-area coaches with connections to Robinson, 7-on-7 coach Byron De'Vinner and Lynord Crutchfield, have also confirmed they have spoken to the NCAA.
Asked Tuesday about whether the NCAA was looking into Auburn's recruitment of Robinson, Gene Chizik declined comment.
"I have one thing on my mind, and that's winning a football game this week. I'm not getting into that," Chizik said during his weekly press conference.
Memphis Commercial-Appeal reporter Kyle Veazey posted Tuesday that Auburn officials have repeatedly declined to answer questions over whether the school has been notified of an NCAA inquiry into its Memphis recruiting.
"We are are not going to discuss what the NCAA may or may not be doing in Memphis or elsewhere," Auburn spokesman Kirk Samspon told the Commercial-Appeal.
A four-star recruit out of Memphis's Wooddale High, Robinson signed with Auburn in February and was making an impression in the Tigers' fall camp when the Commercial-Appeal reported that a Memphis City Schools investigation into Robinson's transcript -- an investigation launched in response to information provided by the NCAA -- had revealed falsified grade changes.
Per a later Commercial-Appeal story, counselor Valerie Starks-Sykes admitted to having made the changes and resigned rather than accept a suspension. She refused to provide Memphis City Schools with a motivation for altering the transcript, other than to say she was "certain someone had asked her to make the changes," per an MCS e-mail account of her comments. Starks-Sykes did not name anyone else who might have also been involved in the changes.
A second counselor, Yvette Lynch, was found to have changed two grades according to MCS e-mails obtained by the Commercial-Appeal and confirmed that she, too, had twice spoken to NCAA officials. She said she had "absolutely not" received anything in exchange for making the grade changes.
"Let me say this: I never change a grade unless a teacher requests it," she said.
The NCAA's examination of Robinson's transcript is only part of a wider-ranging investigation into Memphis-area football, one which multiple NCAA interviewees have said is connected to Mississippi State. The Bulldogs have acknowledged the school is working with the NCAA to resolve a "potential recruiting irregularity," have disassociated a booster found to be in "impermissible contact with the prospective student-athlete," and saw receivers coach Angelo Mirando resign just days before the season over reported connections to the investigation.
Put all that together, and you get one whopper of a mess for everyone involved. But it's a mess that doesn't seem to be getting any smaller -- or any closer to a resolution -- anytime soon.

So, if MSU gets hit with playing an ineligible player this past weekend....then, alls well, correct? No more pitchforks and torches?

They're selling copy. The heat is all on MSU, but nobody gives half a shit to buy a paper to read about an NCAA investigation into their program. They throw in Auburn-related issues in the city to give the story some sizzle. Nothing will come of this.
