It says that "a report expected to be released in full on Friday." If the blog was published on Feb. 2, then all hell was supposed to be released last Friday, which it obviously wasn't. Total BS
It was published February 12. The only place I see February 2 is in the OP's post - certainly not on the link.

I have no doubt that Alabama (or at least it's boosters with willful ignorance by the coaches and the U) is cheating like crazy. I happen to think the same is going on at just about every other SEC school. It's been going on in the SEC since the beginning of time. But the SEC is good at keeping secrets. Very different than the SWC was. I don't see much of anything happening to Alabama.

Hmmmm, stories/rumors like this surface from time to time likely floated by either a Barner or some unfortunate soul from Tennessee who placed this nonsense on some ridiculous blog or veiled message board. With a compliance office on campus and a host of nationwide press/reporters holding court in Tuscaloosa daily, this is hard to believe.
However, The four players who were caught buying pizza with the stolen action cards (plus I hear one had a gun) deserve the consequences they receive. There is no excuse for this type of stupidity on a campus where athletes are treated like royalty.
Roll Tide and Pony Up!

As Penn State and Ohio State have demonstrated, it is not the penalty, but how the university's leaders react. Do they rally the troops? bind together the alumns? unify the board? stand behind the program while quickly addressing the transgressors and move on?
Or do they use it a a crutch for 26 years? Bad leadership sinks to the bottom of the pond, just like athletic records...

If they have to knock their fellow students unconscious to steal their debit cards to order pizza, they must not have extra cash...
Apparently these players contributed last year..
