Sam...I agree with you. I'm sure a lot of crap goes on, but to say it is as widespread and prevalent as many do...I'm sorry, I simply don't buy it.
To claim the Couch and Pearl penalties were exceptions and not the rule with the NCAA sounds too much like the "ESPN hates us" narrative. Yes, there are infractions but it's not the total lawlessness some folks seem to be convinced of.
I'll go back to the corner and resume singing Kumbaya now...
Pearl isn't really winning at Auburn...
Gabe Wright was a 2011 recruit. AU got him a month after a perfect 14-0 season with a Heisman trophy winner to boot.
Lambert was a 2014 recruit. AU got him a month after playing in the National Championship game, and having one of the most crazy memorable seasons ever.
AU was 7-6 last year after being ranked preseason Top 10, and Malzahn's seat is now heating up.
Neither of those two prior situations line up with Brown's recruitment this year.
