QUOTE:
In a recent interview with HBO Real Sports, former Auburn football player Stanley McClover alleged that while he was a current player at the school, an Auburn assistant football coach provided him extra benefits that would be considered a violation of NCAA rules.
Probably some coach bought him a Big Mac on a ride back from Mississippi. Looking at that website it's clear Brooks likes to make mountains out of mole hills where Auburn is concerned.
Coincidentally there's a report on TandR today about a potential AU violation because the arena camera at a AU BB game flashed on Saban sitting with a highly pulicized recruit. Another BFD.
Then there's grayshirting, the tree fiasco, Thibodaux recruiting questions and also the Newton thing.
This domestic squabble has to be really interesting in Alabama, but it's starting to remind me of when the kids were little and constantly tattling on each other.

Sorry, should be UA, not AU. Very bad form.

Lots of talk here on the topic and this guy is far from what most have been discussing. McGlover was a highly rated transer to AUburn that had a ok/good year until the AL game when he had four of the eleven sacks. He went pro and did not get drafted and could not walk on a team.
Could he be disgrunteled and looking to make some cash off an interview, yes.
Is there more speculation in AL (where I live) and rumors than ever regarding AU's ultra fast return to winning and BCS, yes too. All the things added together, the article about LA, Cam Newton, this guy, and former assistants and spouses (also discredited as disgrunteled) saying you had to pay player to keep up with Nick Saban. Too many odd things to be a fluke.....
Ok, this is a bigger rivalry than tOSU- Michigan. It's official.
I talked to a friend of mine yesterday - a guy who grew up in Michigan as a Wolverine fan, wen to school in state (not UM), but still is a huge fan. He lives now in Alabama and says the UM-tOSU was rivalry was bad, but AU-UA is on a whole other level right now. It's tearing the state apart - if I may be a bit melodramatic.

I think this is more than a Big Mac, or HBO wouldn't be doing a story about it. The Sanders thing is not a violation because all they did was get a shot of him. It wasn't like he was paraded out in front of the fans on the court and allowed to bask in the adulation.
The troubles auburn is going through related to recruiting has nothing to to with Alabama. The tree thing is an incident that is the latest in a long series of incidents from both sides, although the ante seems to have been upped in recent years what with trees being poisoned and houses being vandalized. It's the in thing to blame the whole fanbase for one incident.. but you know what? I never blamed the fanbase of either school when a fan of Oklahoma and a fan of Texas got into a barfight and one had his balzac ripped open with a knife....
There are crazy people out there. I think that's a given.

Your friend is of Flawed Character! Keep in mind The TOSU and TSUN are two separate states so they have a long way to go!

And at this point, the noise level from both camps is so loud and constant, it has turned into a buzzing sound that I just tune out.

+1 as well. Auburn is one of the most penalized schools in NCAAA history and 'Bama is not far behind. You'd think folks in this state would learn how to be quiet and keep the heat turned down.

A lot further behind than you think. Our first penalization was in the 90s. We went a pretty long time before we got penalized. Oh, and the first time we were penalized was because one of our former players was paid to tell the NCAA some lies about us that he eventually recanted.
If you look into our "discretions", you'd realize we have been punished a lot more than was really called for.

No...no proof. But, I can only imagine what boosters and coaches were doing for athletes in the early days....

Most of what was done in the early days was considered OK and just about everyone did it.
Coach Bryant was from Alabama/Arkansas. Surely he wasn't smart enough to trick all those yankee NCAA investigators!
