That's not what I said. I said it's always possible, but the NCAA needs something concrete to begin an investigation. Fans always think other teams are cheating but that's not sufficient evidence.

It is now a presumption of guilt without proof.
Bylaw 19.7.3: In cases involving name, image and likeness offers, agreements and/or activities in which related communications and conduct are subject to NCAA regulation, the infractions process shall presume a violation occurred if circumstantial information suggests that one or more parties engaged in impermissible conduct. The enforcement staff may make a formal allegation based on the presumption. The hearing panel shall conclude a violation occurred unless the institution or involved individual clearly demonstrates with credible and sufficient information that all communications and conduct surrounding the name, image and likeness activity complied with NCAA legislation.
You guys are very passionate about your rivals cheating and I expect it and have seen it on every sports message board I've ever read. But just to reiterate, I'm not talking about who is cheating or who I think could be cheating, including UGA. I'm talking about evidence of cheating, since Weezer questioned why the NCAA didn't investigate UGA for paying Washington and Mims. What Jeremy Pruitt did at Tennessee is not evidence of cheating anywhere else. Success is not evidence of cheating; if it was nobody would want to be successful in recruiting or on the field.
As you say, they're not going to show me any evidence and I haven't seen any evidence. But, the NCAA could announce an investigation into UGA tomorrow, and then I'd know that there was some evidence that warranted an investigation.
The NCAA doesn't need evidence. They choose the desired outcome and move the goalposts to manufacture the evidence - against the schools of their choosing. It's easier to see the corruption when constantly in the crosshairs.
