Auburn has denied since October that they paid, or offered, money to Cecil. Why respond to this latest round of accusations? Every time they've made a statement someone twisted it into a veiled admission of guilt. The NCAA investigated our recruitment of Cam and have heard "some or or most of these tapes". If what has been posted online is the only recording I don't see anyone happening to any involved based on these recordings. For one thing, you can't hear much. I'm curious how it proves Cam knew.
Cecil is a known liar. You don't honestly think it is too low a move, for someone who tried to sell their son, to lie about what he was told in order to get more money? Please.
If there is actual proof that State continued recruiting Cam after they knew about this, it gets way worse for them.
To me, and many of the beat writers that have weighed in, this sounds like a ploy for ratings. New show, new market, etc. Could I be wrong? Sure. Perhaps next week we all hear tapes with somewhat clear audio that vilify all involved. What has currently been posted will not accomplish anything.
At least one sponsor has pulled back because of this stuff, by the way. Redstone Credit Union pulled their ads in response to the negative backlash.
