Cowherd on ESPN Radio was talking about it yesterday, saying a significant sports news outlet is about ready to drop a big ol Dime on a Top 10 Football program. I saw a guy I know who works in the sports department at the local daily rag and he said he's hearing the same thing. Apparently Finebaum or somebody down in SEC talk radio land has been talking about it as well and talking about how Tennessee and Auburn both offered up cash to Cecil Newton.

There's supposed to be some big good news for TCU today too

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #3 on:** March 02, 2011, 07:25:30 AM »

Yeah, I wonder what that's all about at TCU. They've already announced and started their stadium renovation, they've already announced the Big East, so what else could it be?

Thought I read somewhere that a professor at TCU was going to blow the lid off of the athletic department covering up miss conduct by football and basketball players that included academic fraud and drugs and stuff.

Wouldn't be surprised on the Oregon thing, but would rather it be Auburn or Tenn.

Would love it to be Auburn, then Cam refuse to give anything back. Only hope that they all have their NC rings before it lands. Keep it all Cam.

So what are the rumblings about Oregon? It's pretty well-known what some of the scuttlebutt is about Auburn & Tennessee, but I'd like to know what's rumored with the ducks, TIA. (if they go on probation or death penalty, can we ease into their uniform deal?)

"For the record, Oregon is not the school we have heard connected to these rumors. Nor is it Auburn. Nor will we mention the school’s name we’ve heard floated around as it’s not been remotely confirmed."

Easy there, bro. Nike sets us up.

If it's Auburn then

We already know the NCAA will take the NC from them in about 5 years, same with the Heisman. That's how college football works.

Cowherd on his show said that he's waiting for confirmation by his sources, but he said it's definitely not Auburn.

I know, I know. I would obviously be rooting for the University of Oregon Swooshes if this happened. Would be fantastic to watch.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict nothing major comes of this.

sonofdaxjones · « **Reply #24 on:** March 03, 2011, 12:34:39 PM »

Yeah, it's getting absurd. Awhile back it was Texas who going to get blown up, then several SEC schools, then Oregon . . . somebody has either had the kibosh put on this or they couldnn't make it all stick so in the end . . . nothing.
