Or the FBI using its resources to investigate this?
The FBI shouldn’t be involved in such matters at all. But if the G-Men insist on investigating, they should be investigating why some institutions of higher education are getting away with making great wealth from their football programs while colluding to restrict the compensation paid to the predominantly black professional athletes who take enormous risk to life and limb to generate that wealth.
If Cam Newton received money to play for Auburn, I’m glad he got it and that he didn’t take the discounted payment from Mississippi State. He deserves every dime that he was paid.
As a former D-1 athlete (Track and Cross-Country, Tennessee), I applaud your honesty and fully agree with your point. Furthermore, we are talking about possible violations of PRIVATE rules of a PRIVATE organization — and the FBI wants to get involved?
That is sick, my friend, just sick. If that is what the FBI is here to do, then let us pull the plug on that sorry agency. Don’t forget, this is the same FBI that gave us corruption of its own in its lab scandal. Bogus results sent innocent people to prison, and we should not forget that.
Oh, come on. The Utah AG is pulling strings with Orrin Hatch to try to force the Justice Department to start proceedings against the BCS. Let me guess, you also want to pull the plug on the U.S. Senate and the Justice Department for their wasteful involvement in college sports.
For the record, Auburn University is most certainly NOT a private organization.
