Here's what we know about the Jovon Robinson transcript case.

Auburn is keeping the freshman running back out of practice while the NCAA investigates allegations that his Wooddale High School transcript was falsified. Memphis City Schools, after being contacted by the NCAA last week, said a Wooddale guidance counselor resigned after admitting to creating the fake transcript.

There's a lot we don't know -- and may not know for a while.

Did the falsified transcript, which was first reported by The Memphis Commercial-Appeal, change Robinson from an NCAA non-qualifier to a qualifier? Was Robinson aware of the fabricated document? Did anyone connected to Auburn know about the fake transcript and/or apply improper pressure to Wooddale, or was everyone at Auburn in the dark? ...

B'ham News' spin on the Aub recruiting scandal:

The boogs are in the dark, alright, but not about this.

Frustrating that the B'ham News has become an Aub publication.  They try to twist this story by bringing up (what they say is comparable) a story about an Alabama player's transcript.  Difference?  The computer made the previous mistake by rounding up numbers.  This was a falsified transcript, changed by a counselor, and the counselor was fired when she admitted she changed it. 

Hello, Birmingham?  Why do you tolerate this crap?

There are ways to get a boardline student eligible without putting your job in jeopardy. A lot of teachers volunteer as tutors before school or during free periods. It would not be unheard of for a counselor to ask a teacher to cut a kid a break that has a 76 and needs a B. Read a book for extra credit or write a paper, etc. When this type stuff happens no one resigns or gets fired. Something stinks in this case. My guess is the barn will skate by again while the kid is off to Junior College.

There is too much smoke coming out of the barn. Scam Newton, street agents, falsifing grades and who knows what else. Even the dumb azz NCAA has to see what is going on.

I find it strange that the NCAA will drop the A-Bomb on say like Penn State
and other schools at the mention of improprieties 
but the barn never gets anything but a free pass  :dunno:

Many of the state's papers aren't even good enough to be fish wrappers anymore, i.e., the Montgomery Advertiser. The Mobile Register is probably the lesser of the evils of the larger newspapers.

....The Montgomery Advertiser is the premier fish wrap of the state.

I honestly believe there is something fishy going on. The new high school coach, the GC and the aubies could very well be in cahoots. Sooner or later the subs will get what is coming.

Lots of rumors flying.  If half of them are true, the Aub trees will never be heard from again!

I'm with you on that Chech, there is some hot stuff flying around. I'm headed to the store to get more popcorn.  :D

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Auburn gets Updykes trial moved up to next week. ;)

I heard this 4th person via another web site from somebody who may or may not be credible.  But supposedly, UT recruited this guy hard.  AU sent him maybe one letter.  UT stayed after him through his entire recruitment, only to find out he couldn't get into UT (Or JUCO either!)  When UT found out that he was admitted into AU they did some inverstigating to find out how the kid could qualify and dug this up and turned it in. 
I have no idea if true, but just wanted to share.

UT and Auburn in a pizzing contest. That would be worth seeing!  :popcorn2:

It maybe the only time I would ever hope for UT to be right about something.

Phillip Shanks was on Finebaum on Monday and said something similar to this. Shanks is the Decatur attorney that was representing Contrell and Williams in the Albert Means case. During the trail he had his office broke into and he was knocked out by a blow to the back of the head. His files on the case was stolen. He is credible. He said UT is going after the barn like they went after Bama in the past. He said Robinson could not get admitted to UT.

Another rumor floating around id Ole Miss turned the barn in. Ole Miss recruits Memphis hard. They said he could not get in at Oxford either.

This is getting better and better. Someone credible reporting the same thing now makes this newsworthy. I wonder if Ole Miss pointed the finger at the roller barn, also?

This is getting pretty interesting.  This one might stick.  Maybe the roller barn shouldn't be skating through the streets of Memphis.

:popcorn2:

You can't leave us hanging with this video.  How badly was he hurt??  AMAZING.

Note: I'd give an e-cred, but it might get a negative comment.

...

Did you watch the whole thing?  They interview him at the end.  It appears he made a full recovery.  There were several to choose from, but I used this one because I've seen it before and I knew he survived.  I think he was in the hospital for several weeks if I recall correctly.

Remarkably, he was discharged from the ER only 2 hours later.

Here is the whole thing:

Unbelievable.
