Put the decoder ring away and just try reading for comprehension:

The story isnt valid but this had been addressed elsewhere (i.e. the SEC thread there the context is actually appropriate) making the original point about you bringing it up in a context of a conversation defending OSU just a flaccid attempt at deflection all the more germane.

Yup Auburn is being investigated.
Taylor was briefly grounded as a self-imposed penalty for a self-reported secondary violation. If Trooper Taylor actually was the subject of an active investigation there is no way that Auburn would have let him back out on the recruiting trail.
Sorry but any argument otherwise is kind of silly in the face of facts.

The NCAA has actually punished the SEC more than any other conference, so the argument that they hit OSU harder than others doesn't hold any weight. We broke the rules, we paid the price. It is what it is.
With that being said, perhaps the Forde article is false, but to pretend that Auburn shouldn't be questioned or is beyond reproach is laughable. Maybe the concrete proof will never surface, but it's known that Cam's dad was shopping his services. I find it hard to believe Auburn and every other school in line recruiting him didn't know of this. They did a good job of covering up their trail so the NCAA couldn't bust their chops. I don't believe it's a matter of favortism or bias, just a matter of not enough evidence.
