Go 7:45 of the following video. You will clearly hear PAT DYE facilitating a loan for Eric Ramsey. I don't expect you to though: Auburn fans love to just keep their head in the sand.
Auburn and Tennessee are the dirtiest programs in the SEC, and everybody in the SEC knows it.
With repsect to Tennessee, I should speak in past tense because Phat Phil and Lame Kitten are now gone, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for the Vols' new coach Derek Dooley. I firmly he will clean up that cesspool of corruption over there.
The NCAA's hatred for Alabama goes back to the days of Bear Bryant. Accordingly, the NCAA (and the SEC under Roy Kramer) have repeatedly allowed both Tennessee and Auburn to get away with bloody murder for a very long time simply because they are Bama's biggest rivals. I can't really get into the details because I would end up writing a book that probably no one would read, but that is what's really been going on, and it's been going on for a very long time.
It is also why Auburn and Tennessee ALWAYS have a bye week before they play Alabama. The Roy Kramer scheduling ended this season so Tennessee will drop off of Alabama's bye week list next season.
Here is a new NYT's article on the Auburn corruption.

Auburn's not the school currently on probation.
August 1995: Alabama is placed on probation for three years, banned from a bowl appearance, ordered to give up 26 scholarships over three years and forced to foreit eight victories from 1993.
May 1996: NCAA strips the football program of one scholarship for failing to disclose player loans that were guaranteed by a Birmingham tire and wheel dealer.
February 1999: Alabama avoids NCAA sanctions following claims a former assistant basketball coach, Tyrone Beaman, tried to create a slush fund for recruits. NCAA warns severe penalties could result from any violations over the next five years.
Feb. 2, 2002: Alabama football receives five years probation, including a two-year postseason ban, because of a recruiting scandal in which boosters were accused of paying money for prep players.
Oct. 17, 2007: University bookstore employee discovers questionable textbook charges by women’s track and field athlete, prompting internal investigation.
June 11, 2009: The NCAA places 16 athletic programs, including football and men’s basketball, on three years of probation for misuse of free textbooks student athletes obtained for others using their scholarships.
Please lay off the allegations and all together wrong comments unless you have more to base them, like say actual NCAA comments and not hatchet jobs by the media...
