Auburn and Basketall scandel


Sep 26, 2017, 10:50 AM

News is breaking about this scandal. This is interesting to me because a lady I used to work with had her son getting recruited and he committed to Auburn this year. Bruce Pearl showed up to our work and everything. One day we were out to lunch and she was talking about how it was not fair that the players didn't get paid, but that she felt better about it because at least the players got a "monthly cash stipend" to "help out." I asked her a few more questions about it and her story never really added up. She seemed pretty clueless but I remember thinking that it seemed like a huge red flag to me. Anyway I am really interested to see what comes out with this now that the Auburn assistant coach has been named in the scandal. And just to make sure I am not missing something here.....players don't get a "monthly stipend" correct?

Players do get a "nominal" monthly stipend

Rule change about 2 years ago allows a few thousand bucks per month.

Thanks. I had no idea that getting a stipend was actually occurring now.

True, but we're still talking Bruce Pearl and Auburn

Both have shown their willingness to bend the rules.
